Design Concepts for Automating Maintenance Instructions

Abstract

This task was performed under the Technology for Readiness and Sustainment (TRS) contract (F33615-99-D-6001) for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Sustainment Logistics Branch (HESS) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. The period of research covered the time period 29 January 99 through 29 February 00. The primary objective of this task was to design, develop, and demonstrate a conceptual framework to support the automated validation and verification USAF technical orders (TOs), specifically job guide procedures for maintenance tasks. The outcome of this effort was the definition and demonstration of a conceptual framework for an application or system that could be used by TO authors and Air Force personnel to help validate and verify the safety and accuracy of job guide procedures in maintenance TOs. In addition, this task also produced a core set of critical research and development tasks considered essential to overcoming important barriers to the development of an automated TO validation and verification system or application.
