The AIMSS™ authoring tool set puts all the technical information you need
to maintain complex systems at your fingertips.
The Advanced Integrated Maintenance Support System (AIMSS) is an interactive electronic
technical manual (IETM) authoring tool set. AIMSS uses state-of-the-art object database technology that enables
you to generate, display, store, retrieve, automate, and deliver Class 4 and 5 IETM formatted projects from your
workstation or personal computer. AIMSS is Windows®-based software. Its graphical authoring environment requires
no programming skills.
The robust object-oriented AIMSS has the power and capacity to manage and maintain data for
multiple systems. Its enhanced import/export capabilities efficiently import legacy data, and graphic compression
and database move/copy features allow easy data manipulation. AIMSS supports a full complement of dialogs and
processes that can be embedded in interactive procedures as hypertext and graphic "hot spots" to provide rapid
access to related information in the database.
One of the most powerful features of AIMSS is its fault-isolation capability. Troubleshooting
information is presented step-by-step, as in a traditional fault-logic diagram. Each step has detailed instructions
and a question that requires a yes/no or typed response. Using these answers and mathematical operations, AIMSS
leads you directly to the next appropriate step. Troubleshooting is further simplified by a dynamic data exchange
protocol that allows AIMSS to initiate a diagnostic test, receive the result, and automatically navigate to the
appropriate troubleshooting information. To further assist you with problem resolution, AIMSS can directly link
to job aids and computer-based training, allowing you to practice difficult tasks before performing them on your
systems.
AIMSS is being used to produce Class 4 IETMs for several Department of Defense programs
including the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV), Sentinel, AEGIS, Battle Force Tactical Trainer (BFTT), Fox,
and Paladin.
To complement AIMSS, Raytheon offers EAGLE, MMIS, and ASENT. These products work together to provide total
product supportability analysis and documentation capabilities. |
