Delayed repair to the failure of weapon system can cause enormous damages to military operation. Various materials like diagnostic equipment, general and special tools, technical manuals(maintenance manual and illustrated parts breakdown) and drawing documents are required for maintenance. For existing weapon systems the distributed environment of these various materials reduces the maintenance effectiveness of maintenance crew. In this paper, to provide the information of maintenance procedures and supply to the maintenance crew we develope a digital interactive electronic technical manual of the technical documents which can be used easily in computer through question and answer method and improve maintenance effectiveness and minimized repairing time.

Over the past several years, numerous CALS technologies have been developed for improving productivity and the quality of products and services in an organization. Among these technologies, Interactive Electronic Technical Manual(IETM) has been recognized as one of the most important CALS technologies. IETM is a technical manual authored by means of an appropriate media in a digital format. This study was an attempt to establish conceptual foundations in the literature for IETM. This study described the concept of IETM and differentiated IETM from a technical manual. Also, the author suggested an effective approach to developing an ITEM and explained the relationship between HyTime/MID and IETM.
