STANAG 7194
Developers of NATO ISR and imagery-exploitation systems, and the imagery analysts who rate image quality for exchange between them.
STANAG 7194 is NATO's agreement on the imagery interpretability rating scale (NIIRS), covering AIntP-7 edition A. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from NATO publications that cite it.
NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
STANAG 7194 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on the imagery interpretability rating scale (NIIRS). Edition 2 was promulgated in September 2018, sponsored by MC, MCJSB, JINT, and covers the publication AIntP-7, Edition A. NATO has not released STANAG 7194 publicly, so this page describes it from public NATO publications that cite it.
AEDP-02 states: "STANAG 7194 promotes interoperability for the exchange of data between JISR collection management activities, imagery exploitation, and imagery capabilities." It adds: "The NIIRS allows for the evaluation of imagery quality for all kinds of imagery, applicable for still and motion imagery for the different technical sensors types and use of a consistent measure for such evaluations."
AEDP-12 cites STANAG 7194 in defining a metadata field, niirs, as "The producer's estimate of the NIIRS at the center of the image." It gives that field the type float and references STANAG 7194, Edition 1 for it. AEDP-12's list of referenced documents names STANAG 7194, Edition 2 with AIntP-7, Edition A, ver.1, alongside standards such as STANAG 4609. AEP-84 lists STANAG 7194 among STANAGs including STANAG 7023 and STANAG 7149, ahead of a separate list of STANAGs that it recommends the UCS "should also be compliant with". Neither publication adds further description of the standard's content.
A supplier bound by STANAG 7194 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.
