Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper describes the role of the DOD Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) standards in the application of electronic documentation to the TRIDENT II Strategic Weapon System (SWS) Program. The SWS Program integrates IETMs with SWS data providing automated operational and maintenance procedures and reference documentation at the SWS operator consoles. Integrated ship's logistics, administration, and onboard training can also be supported.An operational environment is provided that supports multiple “views” of a MIL‐D‐87269 compliant database, including a legacy view of the database used to minimize the operator impacts of the transition from paper to electronic documentation.An IETM database development process is described that includes: Establishing the Baseline, the one‐time low cost legacy technical manual conversion; Exploiting the Media, the incorporation of Class 4 IETM capabilities; and Maintaining the Baseline, an integrated IETM maintenance environment used for recurring maintenance of the IETM database. Authoring capabilities of the IETM Maintenance System are discussed as are other capabilities supporting workflow management, configuration control, electronic review and approval, and IETM database verification and validation.Finally, programmatic experience is described including Navy/contractor coordination, adoption of standards, and suitability of the standards to the SWS application.
