Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cal)

The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.
