Standards & interoperability
Speak the standards the fight already uses.
Interoperability is the product strategy: consume the formats and feeds your enterprise already produces, and serve endpoints your existing clients already understand — so adopting the engine never means ripping out ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, TAK or the web apps. This page is the honest inventory: what comes in, what goes out, and which items need a gated component.

Compliance wording
Exactly what we claim
The sentences sales and marketing are allowed to use — and their limits.
Claimed
- Esri-compatibleSpec-conformant REST endpoints your ArcGIS clients consume — not an Esri license, not Esri software
- TAK-nativeCoT client + mission bridge + Marti admin; attaches to your TAK infrastructure
- STANAG 4609 / MISB 0601KLV parser and encoder are exact inverses; live and file-based FMV
- STANAG 4676Ed.2 TrackImageFile XML export of fused track history
Claimed with caveats
- DJI → MISBEmits MISB ST 0606 Universal Set tags, not bit-exact ST 0601
- S-101Container reader present; reports false until validated against IHO S-164 test data
- Marine chartsSA display, not type-approved ECDIS
- FIPSFIPS-approved algorithms; 140-3 validation pending
Not claimed
- Tactical data linksNo Link 16 / Link 22 / VMF / JREAP implementation
- AccreditationNo ATO history; no DDESB siting authority; no flight certification
- Encrypted chartsS-63, ARCS / HCRF, CM93, Navionics out of scope

Honest scope
What ships, what is optional, what is next
Defense buyers get burned by overclaims. This is the plain-language scope for this capability, drawn from the product’s own documentation.
- Shipped Everything in the “in / out” inventory above — Each item traces to a shipped reader, decoder, server or exporter in the build.
- Optional sidecar / gated Gated items — NITF / CADRG / CIB (full GDAL), E57 (PDAL), LiDAR→SLPK (Windows natives), DWG / DGN (external ogr2ogr).
- Roadmap DNC / VPF, S-101 validation, USMTF — On the roadmap; not marketed as present.
