The 6th-Generation IETM
MDDV is the only Class-6 Interactive Electronic Technical Manual on the market - replacing fragmented tools with a single, secure, zero-footprint viewer.
What is a Class-6 IETM?
The functionality of IETM systems is defined across six classes. Most products on the market fall between Class 3 and Class 5. MDDV is the only product that meets all Class-6 criteria, which are now more precisely defined by the IETM Functionality Matrix (originally developed by the AIA Product Support Committee and adopted in S1000D and US military specifications).
| Class | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Type I | Scanned book with hyperlinked TOC and indexes. |
| Class 2 | Type I | Hyperlinked document with figures, tables, and section references. XML markup. |
| Class 3 | Type I | Web-structured content with free-form navigation. No longer bound to book layout. |
| Class 4 | Type II | Database-driven content with dynamic presentation. User-specific views. No static pages. |
| Class 5 | Type II | Integrated expert systems that analyze usage data and influence content display. AI-driven feedback loops. |
| Class 6 | Type II | Network-model database with dynamic multi-destination hyperlinks, system-oriented layers, interactive troubleshooting, AR capabilities, and integrated training. UI-independent data stream. |

Core
IETM Optional
Backend Optional
SGML Data? No Conversion Needed.
MDDV can induct legacy SGML technical data (MIL-STD-38784) directly - without converting to S1000D. Implementation takes under 6 months at a fraction of full S1000D conversion cost. Your existing data works as-is.
Already proven on F-16 SGML data via AFWERX SBIR Phase II.
