Logistics
ASEC develops industry-leading interactive technical manuals and maintenance training products for domestic, forward-deployed, and foreign military customers to safely operate and maintain today’s highly sophisticated systems.
Where industry-leading experts, advanced capability software, and automated quality processes come together to develop advanced technical manuals and robust maintenance training for the Warfighter.
As specialists in providing comprehensive engineering and technical support, tailored to the design, development, integration, maintenance, and optimization of systems and sensors, we are dedicated to empowering the Warfighter with the tools they need for success.
From military aircraft expertise to pioneering maritime patrol and reconnaissance solutions, our commitment to customer collaboration and top talent shows that we are not just engineering solutions, we are shaping the future of mission success.
Class IV Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs)
Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) enable Warfighters to operate and repair today’s highly sophisticated technology through vast improvements in data navigation and organization of content. IETMs enable functionality such as embedded videos, 3D graphics, wire traces, and graphic hot spotting capabilities. When combined with advanced automation of technical data through filtering, hyperlinking, and internal/external references, the Warfighter can quickly access information needed to repair and/or safely operate today’s complex systems.
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
With extensive knowledge in authoring in multiple XML formats, our XML SMEs provide NATOPS flight manual support according to MIL-DTL-85025B and maintenance manual support according to MIL-STD-3001. We focus our services on the advanced capabilities of S1000D, the international standard for technical data. We have developed processes in strict compliance with S1000D specifications that enable our customers to have more capable, more reliable data with the ability to rapidly update the Warfighter’s publications.
Common Source Database (CSDB) Management and Publishing
Advanced CSDB software capabilities empower our professional data managers to enhance functionality in an S1000D IETM as well as share common data across multiple projects. Our data managers and authors utilize advanced CSDB software capabilities and methods to maximize the advantages of S1000D, while enhancing functionality in S1000D IETMs and sharing common data across projects that have over 40,000 data modules and 30,000 graphics each.
Transition Support
Converting data to S1000D may be a complex process, but our team of experts has the precise knowledge needed to transition any data format successfully. We can perform Business Rules (BR) development and Standard Numbering System (SNS) creation, to Data Module Requirements List (DMRL) development. Our XML, technical, and CSDB SMEs can prepare your data for the future.
Reutilization of Data
Our state-of-the-art processes achieve a reutilization rate of over 85%, significantly reducing sustainment costs and streamlining revision schedules. Exploiting the capabilities of Common Information Repositories, our team can dynamically publish custom and tailored publications for multiple customers operating similar systems in a fraction of time and cost.
Sanitization of Data
Given that sensitive data can be shared unknowingly, it’s more important than ever to prevent data leakage to Foreign Military Sales (FMS) countries. Our team has developed scripted coding that identifies restricted data in the XML to prevent successful data mining by foreign users.
Aircraft Maintenance Training
Our team of experts has accumulated over 600 years of aircraft maintenance experience, with >75% possessing formal training certifications.
Our training solutions are turnkey:
- Training Front End Analysis (FEA), training device analysis, and specification development.
- Courseware development to support both instructor lead and self-paced training.
- Fleet Integration Training (FIT) supplement to sustainment training as aircraft systems and/or capability changes impact fleet technicians.
- Foreign Military Sales (FMS) classroom/over-the-shoulder training CONUS/OCONUS to prepare/certify foreign Warfighters to safely maintain their country aircraft.
- Advanced automated training solutions designed to assess-remediate-train technicians and improve fleet readiness.
Logistic Advisors
Our veteran maintenance managers offer comprehensive assistance to the customer throughout the project lifecycle, providing professional advice, recommendations, and feedback across all logistical facets:
- Logistics Conference & Program Development (LC&PD) supports and provides insights to the PMA and customer regarding the functionality and demand for each repairable component and essential support equipment.
- Provide counsel on manpower assessments, facilities development, transportation coordination, and all queries on maintenance operations.
- Develop and present a training plan for the initial Training Planning Conference (TPC) that meets the customer’s requirements for qualifications and operational proficiency in maintaining and operating the aircraft safely and effectively.
- Program Management Review (PMR) conferences support to assist the PMA in addressing inquiries and devising solutions tailored to the customer’s specific needs.
- Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) support and participation.
- Craft a tooling program that aligns with customer requirements and aids in local and international shipping determinations.
Success
“ASEC continues to surpass my expectations. With over 20 years’ experience in the technical publication industry, I have never been more impressed with their ability to implement new capabilities and satisfy customer request.”
“The P-8A IETM has become the industry standard as the largest and most capable organic IETM across NAVAIR. The processes ASEC has developed enables NAVAIR to share IETMs with cooperative partners and FMS customers.”
