No, but we feel that it supports all the formats that most modern NITF users care about. NITF Escalator supports all four formats of uncompressed NITF imagery (IMODE = S, B, P or R) and also JPEG 2000 compression which is the most modern and preferred compression scheme used today. In fact, the NITF Escalator team has never met anyone who who frequently processes NITF imagery using any of the other supported compression schemes. If you are such a person and have interest in NITF Escalator, please let us know.
