Before IETM vs After IETM

 Still stuck with paper manuals? Before IETM: Manual, slow, error-prone paper or PDF documents.


Interactive Electronic Technical Manual is your PDF file i.e. user handbook, technical manual only. It is called Level -1 IETM.

IETM is one of the mandatory deliverables (DVD) along with any equipment to be supplied to Indian Defence. JSG is an agency that defines standards for every defense deliverable. JSG 0852:2015 is standard to prepare IETM documentation.

(If you have heard about JSS 0251, it is the standard defined to design your UHBs or technical manuals. JSS describes the layout of the document. I.e. Front page design, table of content design, header and footer, index, a record of amendment sheet, the structure of the content/document,etc are defined in JSS. Similarly,JSG 0852 is for IETM documentation.)

Level 2: (IETM)

IETM is having cross-references to one section of PDF to another section cross reference using hyperlinks is Level -2

In Level 3, all your manuals will be converted into to HTML pages and arranged in a linear structure in the form a of Table of content, tree as per the original manual.

Sections and sub-sections will be maintained as it is like in the original UHB. Hyperlinks. Next, the Previous buttons, search in page, manuals tab, and drawings tab will be available in Level -3.

Level -4 is more advanced than Level -3. All the manuals are converted into a database. IETM viewer is a web application/ software to view this IETM Level -4. Using IETM Viewer software, the database will be accessed and viewed.

JSS 0251 – Technical Documentation

Image
  JSS 251 Joint Service Specifications, JSS 0251-01: 2015 (Revision No-2) What is JSS 251? JSS 251 is a defence documentation standard. To make it simpler, whenever we buy some household item, be it a fridge or AC, we get a user manual. If you look closely, each company follows their documentation structure or pattern and content flow. There will not be any similarities in formatting or layout. Every Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM) has their separate documentation teams and they design in their own way. Even the size and dimensions of the document may be different. Similarly whenever a simple system or complex system is delivered to defence users i.e. Army, navy or air force, along with the Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEMs) also have to supply Manuals. But, in this Defence supplier case, the defence wants all the OEMs to follow similar standards that are defined by them. They want every OEM to follow the document structure the same way. These guidelines are drafted in JSS ...

Leveraging Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) for Upskilling Armed Forces: The Role of Code and Pixels

Image
  1. Introduction In the contemporary defense environment, armed forces operate increasingly sophisticated systems that demand specialized technical knowledge. Traditional manuals and classroom-based training, though valuable, often fall short in addressing the dynamic learning requirements of modern defense personnel. Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) have emerged as a transformative solution, offering immersive, multimedia-driven, and interactive learning experiences that enhance operational efficiency, technical expertise, and safety. This report examines how IETM software can upskill armed forces personnel and outlines why Code and Pixels Interactive Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is ideally positioned to develop and deploy these solutions. 2. The Role of IETM Software in Upskilling Armed Forces 2.1 Interactive Learning and Skill Development IETMs transcend the limitations of printed manuals by integrating interactive Links, 3D models, videos, and animations . ...
