LSA has a comprehensive knowledge in the production and use of templates; particularly for military technical documentation. LSA produced the original User Hand Book (UHB) template for Land Systems Division (LSD) equipment and involved Army Technical Data Centre (TDC) to ensure acceptance of the final product. A large number of LSD UHBs were produced and published by LSA in this UHB template. The Intellectual Property (IP) of this template was later sold for upgrade and inclusion into the new TDC template suite.

LSA has for a number of years worked with TDC to amend the technical documentation suite of templates and has been instrumental in the verification and validation of the new Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Instructions (EMEI) templates. LSA was also part of the ILS team that produced the original Integrated Logistic Support Instructions (ILSI) Versions 1, 2 and 3 templates and Defence Instruction (General) Log 1-33 ILSI instructions.

Irrespective of the templates you require, LSA staff will adapt to your individual requirements and needs.
