ILXS Navigator
Next generation IETM suite.
Proudly engineered in India.

What is an IETM?

Interactive Electronic Technical Manual or IETM is a digital, web-based application designed to replace large volumes of technical literature for defence and complex engineering systems. The IETM structures content into easily searchable database, that help operators and maintainers perform tasks quickly.
ILXS Private Limited is an IETM Vendor based out of India that provides tailor made, proprietary applications for defence and aerospace applications.
We have developed the ILXS Navigator, an all in one suite that takes care of authoring, publishing and exporting IETM in user required format. With 6 years of experience and 30+ clients, we are a growing brand catering to the defence ecosystem.

ILXS Navigator is a proprietary IETM Suite developed in-house by ILXS. It includes a common source database (CSDB), an authoring tool, and a viewer.
The Navigator is used to digitise any form of paper-based documents into useful digital assets. This application can be tailor made to include analytics and interactive dashboard.
The Navigator is capable of publishing HTML and XML based files making it compatible with JSG and S1000D standards.
Levels of IETM
Standards & Compliances
IETMs developed by ILXS comply with Indian defence standards as well as global aerospace standards



JSG 0852 Standard
Indian Tri-Services Defense Standard
Indian Tri-Services Defense Standard
Developed by Directorate of Standardisation (DDP), Ministry of Defence, India.
Primarily SQL Database-driven with HTML5/XML viewing layers.
Optimized for indigenous systems, Indian Navy, Army, and Air Force projects.


S1000D Specification
International Specification for Technical Publications
Modular Architecture Utilizes a Modular XML-based approach using Data Modules (DMs).
Global Benchmarking The gold standard for NATO, ASD, and AIA. Adhering to S1000D ensures your technical manuals meet the rigorous export and operational requirements of the global aerospace and defense market.
Features of IETM Level 4
Features | Technical Capability | Business Benefit |
|---|---|---|
Strict Security & Access Control | Role-based user authentication, encryption protocols, and detailed system audit logs. | Defense-Grade Compliance: Protects sensitive proprietary design data and restricted military-grade technical documentation. |
Cross-Platform Web Deployment | Zero-footprint web application that runs seamlessly in modern browsers on rugged tablets, laptops, or desktops. | Maximum Field Mobility: Deploy updates instantly to the field without requiring complex local software installations. |
Dynamic Diagnostics & Workflows | Step-by-step interactive troubleshooting wizards that branch logically based on the technician's input. | Shortened Downtime: Guides junior technicians through complex faults with expert-level accuracy. |
Interactive Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) | Clickable hotspot diagrams link directly to bills of materials (BOM) and part numbers. | Streamlined Logistics: Enables one-click part identification and direct integration with supply chain or ERP inventory systems. |
Advanced Search Engine | Features metadata-driven global searching, wildcards, fuzzy matching, and deep indexing across all modules. | Instant Data Retrieval: Locates critical maintenance procedures or part numbers in seconds instead of minutes. |
Interactive Wiring & Schematics | Intelligent vector graphics (SVG) allow users to hover, click to expand, isolate circuits, and trace signals. | Reduced Errors: Eliminates the need to flip back and forth between separate blueprint sheets and text steps. |
Context-Sensitive Navigation | Dynamically filters information based on user role, specific equipment configuration, or fault code. | Faster Troubleshooting: Technicians only see the exact steps and data required for the specific task at hand. |
Relational Database Architecture | Content is stored as discrete S1000D-compliant XML Data Modules rather than flat, linear book chapters. | Zero Redundancy: Update a component description or part number once, and it instantly populates across the entire system. |
