Abstract :
This study reviews the implementation and cost of implementation of sample F-15E job guide data in Standard Generalized Mark-Up language (SGML) format into five different interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) presentation systems. IETMs improve aircraft maintenance efficiency by allowing maintenance personnel to more easily locate needed information. Two of the presentation systems are classified as class (3), one is classified as a class (3)+ and two are classified as class (4) IETMs. This report provides detailed information on the compliance of each presentation with applicable military specifications and the effort and cost associated with implementing the sample data into each of the presentation systems. Specific conclusions are drawn concerning the various IETM systems. This study was performed by the Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC) under contract to the United States Air Force, Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC)
