 | The United States military is dedicated to improving processes associated with electronic manuals including generation, dissemination, and utilization of manuals used for reference while working. In this case, electronic manuals refer to both manuals used in flight (electronic flight manuals), and manuals used in support of maintaining aircraft (electronic technical manuals). Among those military organizations working in this area, The United States Air Force (USAF) has been a leader in ... |

| The Air Force Directorate of Maintenance (USAF/ILM) and the Standard Systems Group, Maintenance Systems Division (HQ SSG/ILM) sponsored an evaluation test for the purpose of identifying potential electronic tools for use at the flightline point of maintenance. The Air Force Research Laboratory, Logistics Readiness Branch (AFRL/HESR) and the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) were commissioned by SSG/ILM to independently and objectively perform the evaluation. The evaluation was conducted at ... |

|
| The goal of the Point of Maintenance (P-O-Mx) program is to demonstrate timely, accurate, and effective data collection, and logistics operations processing to meet the maintainer's needs at the point of origin. The Spiral One Usability Test consisted of human factors and user-centered evaluations of the P-O-Mx activity. User level evaluations were conducted to determine the maintenance effectiveness of P-O-Mx devices in presenting, modifying, and transmitting maintenance and service data. ... |

|
| The conversion of paper schematic diagrams to electronic display presentations requires identification and analysis of associated cognitive demands. Schematic diagrams are typically used by expert maintainers in troubleshooting aircraft faults. These expert maintainers must rely on skill, rule, and knowledge-based behavior to successfully use these diagrams. In this task, the Applied Cognitive Task Analysis (ACTA) method was employed to elicit knowledge associated with using ... |

| Lessons learned are identified as they have resulted from designing user interfaces for the Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS). The report is organized according to user interface issues (e.g., Hardware Portable Maintenance Aid Battery Requirement and Software Tab Groups). Each issue is contained within a section of the document. Within each section, a chronology is presented that shows how each issue was addressed in the various IMIS proof-of concept systems. ... |
