Acquisition and Development of System Command (SYSCOM) Technical Manuals

Abstract

This manual describes how to acquire, develop, and maintain System Command (SYSCOM) Technical Manuals (TMs) for SYSCOM sponsors such as Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). TMs are the primary information source for technical training, installation, operation, testing, maintenance, and repair associated with NAVSEA/SPAWAR systems or equipment. Unless adequate and suitably written TMs already exist, new manuals must be developed and procured as part of all NAVSEA/SPAWAR systems, equipment, or major component acquisitions. No other forms of technical information will be purchased without specific justification. This manual is written for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SCC San Diego) employees and shows how to perform the following tasks when developing SYSCOM TMs: (1) Acquire SYSCOM TMs; (2) Create a Technical Manual Contract Requirement (TMCR) or Technical Manual SEATASK/SPATASK Requirement (TMSR) using the Naval Systems Data Support Activity's (NSDSA) homepage; (3) Obtain Technical Manual Identification Numbers (TMINs), National Stock Numbers (NSNs), and Volume Identification Numbers (VINs) from NSDSA; (4) Support and maintain SYSCOM TMs; (5) Update the Technical Data Management Information System (TDMIS) database; (6) Ensure that TM management principles are imposed on contractors, subcontractors, field activities, and other Government activities as necessary and appropriate; (7) Provide for sustainment throughout the life cycle through Technical Manual Management Authority (TMMA) assignment; (8) Ensure Reading Grade Level (RGL) appropriate for readers of the TM; and (9) Dispose of TMs in accordance with SECNAVINST 5510.36, Department of the Navy Information Security Program Regulation and NAVSEA/SPAWAR S0005-AA-PRO-010/E0005-AC-HBK-010, Operations and Life Cycle Procedures, Section 16, Paragraph 16.6.
