If I gdal_translate the files to ‘geotif’ first, they are correctly positioned 
on the map.  Why is that??  Why doesn’t geoserver understand the NITF if GDAL 
clearly can?

I don’t think I have ever seen a NITF output from GDAL which reports anything 
on the line ‘Coordinate System is:’ – I was under the impression that the 
wealth of information below described the Coordinate System.

I was also under the impression that geoserver could import random NITF images 
(these are large NADIR views) and serve them through the WMS (i.e. presumably 
using GDAL to orthorectify the imagery en-route).  To do this, I thought it 
used the four corner georeferencing clearly contained in this NITF file and all 
the others I have.
Is this not the case?  I can see the images using the ‘layer preview’ tool, so 
I presume it can serve them somehow – and they look warped as required.  But 
they just seem to be in the wrong place on the Earth!

Hi,
it seems like gdalinfo itself is unable to recognize the Coordinate Reference 
System of your sample.

Driver: NITF/National Imagery Transmission Format
Files: blah.ntf
Size is 5120, 10464
Coordinate System is `' <------ EMPTY

Moreover, the gdalinfo shows that your file isn't georectified: it contains 
ground control points (the reported WGS84 CRS is for the GCPs).
Therefore the sample is handled like a simple image (let's say as a picture) 
using a Wildcard 2D Cartesian plane so that you can express coordinates as 
pixels positions.

You could consider using gdalwarp <http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html> to 
georectify your samples so that they become valid for GeoServer.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Daniele

When using the mosaic method, the store ‘.prj’ file ends up with:

I can view the NITF files and georeference them using GeoView and our own NITF 
viewer.  I can preview the layer containing a single NITF file (in geoserver) 
but the georeferencing seems to be rubbish (perhaps origin at zero zero) even 
though the IGEOLO seems sound.
Any ideas?

Note that the mosaic tool crashes with (no too surprisingly) ‘No transformation 
available from system “EngineeringCRS[Wildcard 2D Cartesian plan in metric 
unit]” to “GeographicCRS[WGS84(DD)]”’
