S1000D for the Swedish Armed Forces’ Amphibious Battallion
Accurate, complete, boat-specific and easily accessible technical information for vessels and boats not only enhances safety and accessibility – it also reduces the total lifecycle cost. This case study describes SSPA's S1000D project for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration from start to finish, including pre-history, challenges, project lessons and visions for the future.

Implementing S1000D for Swedish military assault and support crafts
How do you continuously manage technical publications for a large fleet of military assault and support crafts? You do this by implementing S1000D, the International Specification for Technical Publications. SSPA supports the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) in several projects with information analysis, data conversion, restructuring, content revisions, and quality assurance.
Technical support and expertise on CB90
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has delivered updated combat boats, used in the amphibious battalion. The project includes in total 29 combat boats (CB90) that will acquire so called "lifetime extensions". Recently twelve CB90 was finalized and the remaining will be delivered during 2017. SSPA supports FMV with general technical support and expertise throughout this project.
Technical support for amphibious systems
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has granted SSPA a framework agreement covering the supply of technical consultancy services in amphibious systems for the Swedish military. Amphibious systems are used where water meets land and the Swedish Armed Forces are using speed boats such as combat boats, ferries and hovercrafts.
User-friendly electronic technical information
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration has procured SSPA to support with revision of technical information. Using the international documentation standard S1000D, SSPA will produce user-friendly electronic technical information customised specifically for each vessel.
