NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 1241 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on the standard identity description structure for tactical use, covering the publication APP-36, edition A. Edition 6 was promulgated on 26 January 2023, sponsored by MC, MCJSB, IERH. NATO has not released STANAG 1241 publicly, so this page describes it from public NATO publications that cite it.
Where it is cited
AEDP-12 (Edition B, Version 2) defines a class of track attributes, ID1241, as a "Class of attributes drawn from STANAG 1241 to be used in conjunction with other available information for the purpose of threat identification when exchanging tactical information in NATO". It adds that the attribute values are populated directly from STANAG 1241 and cannot be extended or changed without approved changes to STANAG 1241. Its identity and identityAmplification attributes take their values from STANAG 1241, which AEDP-12 cites as Edition 5, and its environment values are derived from STANAG 1241 and "indicate subsets of tactical information (e.g. air tracks, maritime tracks)".
APP-06 (Edition E, Version 2) attributes several identity terms in its glossary to STANAG 1241: a faker is "A friendly track acting as a hostile for exercise purposes", pending is "Tracks which have not been subject to the identification process, but which are available for reporting", and suspect is "A track or contact which is potentially hostile because of its characteristics, behaviour, origin, or nationality". It also describes a joker, again citing STANAG 1241, as a friendly track or contact acting as a suspect track for exercise purposes only. In its section on building Air symbols, APP-06 says the symbols shown "are adequate for depicting all Air Standard Identities defined in STANAG 1241".

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
