S-series ILS Specifications

Overview

The S Series Integrated Logistics Support Specifications is a suite of specifications for product support that will provide the seamless passage of technical data (logistics, provisioning, technical publications/IETMs, scheduled maintenance and maintenance data feedback).  The S Series suite is a joint project between the Aerospace Industries Association, Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe and the ATA e Business Program (on S1000D).

The S Series suite is comprised of the following:

• SX000i  International guide for the use of the S-Series Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) specifications
• S1000D  International specification for technical publications using a common source database
• S2000M International specification for materiel management - Integrated data processing
• S3000L   International specification for Logistics Support Analysis  - LSA
• S4000M International specification for developing scheduled  maintenance programs
• S5000F  International specification for operational and  maintenance data feedback
• S9000D  Dictionary for the S-Series ILS specifications

Below is a graphical overview of the ILS business process and the S Series.
