Problems, as covered by existing paper technical manuals, are ill-defined and vaguely described. In clarifying and quantifying these problems, a cause-effect sequence of problems with paper manual is traced. This sequence ultimately links increasing weapon complexity to poor quality maintenance. It is concluded that despite the exponential growth of information supporting modern weaponry, many paper documentation problems can be solved by replacing paper manuals with electronic manuals. Electronic manuals can solve problems with portability and with keeping information accurate, complete, and up-to-date. The technique can also make information less complex/disorienting by applying database management technology. It is pointed out that current computer display technology prevents electronic manuals from presenting large diagrams well.
