AAI Corporation Selects Arbortext Enterprise Publishing Software to Publish Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Manuals
Arbortext announced that AAI Corporation , a subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation, has selected its software to create and publish maintenance and repair manuals for the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) for the United States Army.
Military suppliers are being asked to deliver systems quickly and provide fast maintenance, training and operational support teams around the globe. Arbortext Enterprise Publishing software will enable AAI Corporation to improve and automate the content creation and publishing process, ultimately ensuring that field maintenance personnel receive updated product information as fast as possible, fully supporting AAI Corporation's rapid fielding of innovative new TUAV capabilities.
"Using Arbortext software means we no longer have to outsource the final generation of manuals in Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETMs) formats, enabling us to meet and exceed the emerging needs of our customers quicker than ever before," said Pat Truitt, Vice President of Operations at AAI Services Corporation. "I believe the solution we are implementing with Arbortext enables us to build on that tradition for all of AAI's product lines."
"We work with a number of government organizations that must tackle the challenge of creating and publishing information to support a variety of military requirements," said Raymond Schiavone, President and CEO for Arbortext. "We are delighted to be working with AAI as they build an enterprise publishing strategy to improve the way information is created and delivered."
Other government and defense contractors using Arbortext Enterprise Publishing software include the U.S. Department of Defense, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, RAAF, SAIC, Sikorsky, and the AAI Corporation, a subsidiary of United Industrial Corporation, designs, produces, and supports defense systems. Its products and services include unmanned aerial vehicle systems, training and simulation systems, automated aircraft test and maintenance equipment, armament systems, logistical and engineering services, and other leading-edge technology solutions for defense needs.
