I am currently evaluating geoserver for an upcoming project. I have been
prototyping with shape files as input formats and Mapbuilder on the client
side - so far so good.
However, one of the requirements is to be able to support CADRG and DTED as
input formats to geoserver. I found a posting dated Aug 2006 which
mentioned GDAL integration and support of the GDAL raster formats which
includes DTED. What is the status of this integration? Also, is there any
support or planned support for CADRG? If I was so inclined, what would be
involved to add support for these formats and what would be the best way to
go about it? I am pretty green with regards to the whole geospatial web and
am really not even sure where to start. Any pointers and references would
be great.

The status is... zero. No integration whatsoever. The old java wrapper is hidden somewhere in the uDig community repository (since it was a Google SoC project). You should contact GeoSolutions guys (Simone and Alessio, cc'ed) since I belive they did bring forward this work.
Anyways, they are the raster guys, so you want to talk with them about
the best way to handle this anyways.
Hi list,
when gathering information about CADRG format, I have found this old email
(dated june 2007) on the mailing list.
The ImageIO-Ext project and the geotools ImageIO-EXT-gdal based plugin we
are developing, support DTED. We will also build an ImageIO-EXT NITF plugin
as well as the related geotools in order to support CADRG.
Best Regards,
Daniele Romagnoli
