This part of the standard establishes the technical content requirements for the preparation of maintenance information with illustrated parts breakdown (IPB) for aircraft weapon systems, aeronautical equipment, airborne weapons/equipment, and support equipment. This data can be used to develop technical manuals (TMs) in a variety of output forms, including interactive screen presentations and page- based, printed manuals. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS . The applicable documents in section 2 of MIL-STD-3001-1 apply to this Part. 3. DEFINITIONS . The definitions in section 3 of MIL-STD-3001-1 apply to this Part. 4.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS . 4.1 General. Sufficient maintenance information with IPB shall be developed for the aircraft weapon system, aeronautical equipment, airborne weapons/equipment or support equipment. Maintenance procedures and supporting illustrations shall be prepared so that maintenance personnel can perform all authorized operator through depot level maintenance. This information shall be contained in Maintenance Information Modules that are subdivided into work packages. 4.2 Maintenance level applicability.
Requirements contained in this standard are applicable to all types and maintenance levels of TMs unless specifically noted in bold and in parentheses (i.e., Support Equipment Manuals only , Depot Level only , etc.). 4.3 Selective application and tailoring. This Part contains some requirements that may not be applicable to the preparation of all technical manuals. Selective application and tailoring of requirements contained in this Part shall be accomplished through the use of the Technical Manual Content Selection Matrixes contained in MIL-STD-3001-1, Appendix A. The applicability of some requirements is also designated by one of the following statements:
unless specified otherwise by the requiring activity or as/when specified by the requiring activity. 4.4 Preparation of digital data for electronic delivery. Technical manual data prepared in work package format and delivered digitally in accordance with this standard shall be SGML-tagged and assembled using the modular Document Type Definition (DTD). Refer to MIL-STD-3001-1 for information on obtaining or accessing this modular DTD.
SGML tags used in the modular DTD are noted throughout the text of this standard in bracketed, bold characters (i.e., ) as a convenience for the TM author and to denote the appropriate tag to be used for this specific information when developing a document instance. 4.4.1 Use of the DTDs. The modular DTDs referenced in this Part interpret the technical content and structure for the functional requirements contained in this Part and are mandatory for use. 4.5 Technical content. Technical content requirements contained in this Part are considered mandatory and are intended for compliance.
The content structure for the technical data being developed shall conform to the associated modular Document Type Definition (DTD) for maintenance information with 1
