TASK 5: CALS Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM)
Final Road Map To Conversion (January 18, 1995)
This report is a result of the performance of Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support (CALS) Integrated Weapon System Database (IWSDB) tasking for Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) titled: CALS And The Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM). The task involved a wide range of research, analysis, technical evaluation(s), project assessments, and review of the current status of the IETM industry. Our work involved the identification of Commercial Off-The- Shelf (COTS) products which provide measurable levels of conformance to the CALS standards and the IETM specifications (i.e., MIL-M-87268, MIL-D-87269, and MIL-Q-87270). Once candidate products were identified we then assessed and evaluated rapid and economical methodologies which could provide conversion support for existing Weapon System Technical Manuals to the IETM environment.
