NATO AEDP-1

Abstract

This Allied Publication provides guidance on the purpose, content and preparation of engineering documents (specifications, drawings and associated lists) associated with NATO Multinational Joint Projects. <br> This Allied Publication complements AAP 20 and describes the engineering documentation required in the NATO Phased Armaments Programming System (PAPS) phase 4 - Project Definition, phase 5 - Design and Development, and phase 6 - Production. See Figure 1-1. <br> This Allied Publication also complements STANAG 4159 and describes contents and format of baseline documentation. The specifications and engineering drawing requirements set forth in chapters 2 - 4 are subject to configuration management in accordance with that STANAG. <br> The detail provisions of chapters 2 - 4 are subject to tailoring in accordance with project requirements. <br> Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) is a fundamental requirement of the user. This Publication has been written so that each technical document may incorporate the ILS features appropriate for a given programme. These features should be in accordance with ILS planning documents which should be prepared as early as possible in the programme. ILS during the in-service phase is dependent upon the preparation and management of engineering documents during earlier phases. Logistic Support documentation (eg. operator manuals, maintenance manuals, spare parts lists) is not a subject of this publication.
