MIL-STD 1808A (USAF) FOREWORD 1. This standard is approved for use by the Department of the Air Force and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. 2. In order to provide standardization between publications a standardized numbering system has been developed. It is was designed with sufficient flexibility to permit expansion and application outside the technical manual system to support logistics elements that interact with or directly influence equipment maintenance and technical manual development and use. 3. To ensure maximum flexibility, gaps have been left in the system and subsystem numbering sequences.
Manufacturers are encouraged to use the unassigned systems and subsystems to accommodate unique design or emerging technologies when required, as approved by the procuring activity and current acquisition policy. 4. As a minimum, this standard is intended to be used in conjunction with MIL-PRF-83495 and DoD-STD-863. Additional applications are available as defined in the documents identified in section 2. 5. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Det 2, HQ ESC/AV-2C, 4207 Col.
Glenn Hwy., Suite 300, Dayton, OH 45431-1672, by using the Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter. ii Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com
