S1000D Technical Publications

S1000D is an international specification for creating, managing and maintaining technical publications within the civilian and military Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry. S1000D is now being embraced by many organizations developing A&D equipment. It is being implemented and in some cases mandated by Departments of Defense, aircraft manufacturers (civil and military), aircraft operators, shipbuilders, builders of land systems, and manufacturers of most types of equipment designed for defense complexes worldwide.

If you produce equipment to be used in the A&D industry, or if you supply components to major contractors in A&D, compliance with this specification is likely to become a requirement for you in the near future.
