Computer-Based Maintenance Aids for Technicians
Abstract
This report summarizes a research and development program conducted by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory to develop the technology to present maintenance technical data on a computer-based system. Several major efforts were completed including two feasibility studies, the development of two prototype systems to support intermediate level maintenance, and the development of a portable computer system for presentation of technical data for on- equipment maintenance. The efforts have demonstrated that the presentation of technical data in this manner is feasible and that an automated system has the potential to improve performance and reduce the costs of maintaining the Air Force technical order system. In addition, effective man/machine-interface techniques, data presentation techniques, and computer hardware and software requirements were developed. The results of each of the efforts are described, and recommendations for the development of automated technical data presentation systems are provided.
