Comprehensive Technical Documentation Services
Elevated’s team of technical writers and curriculum developers offer comprehensive technical documentation services, with years of combined experience managing technical writing projects for Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Aerospace, ensuring that all materials meet the necessary standards. Our expertise includes developing and updating technical documentation, creating technical manuals, and preparing training course materials aimed at enhancing the skills of analysts and operators for government end users and the Aerospace Industry.
In an era where information superiority is paramount, the clarity and effectiveness of your documentation directly impacts mission success. Our experience working hand in hand with our customers has shown that users rely on precise, accessible, and content-focused materials to train personnel, operate advanced systems, and execute complex operations.
We specialize in producing high-quality documentation that adheres to the strict specifications of military standards for all branches of the armed services. Our team is proficient in sourcing information from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) manuals, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals, and engineering drawings to generate complete and precise technical manuals. With our integration and training documentation, we offer reference and support materials that enable the replication of skills and the maintenance of proficiency over time. In addition, we have experience with user testing, validation, and verification to ensure that the equipment and procedures outlined in the manuals are accurate. Whether you need new or updated manuals or training materials, our technical documentation services ensure your team is equipped with the knowledge required for mission success.

Documentation and Program Sustainment
Technical documentation plays a crucial role in effective program sustainment. Procedures and processes change over time as new knowledge is acquired, updated equipment is procured, and more efficient practices are developed, this requires documentation updates to maintain the accuracy and efficiency of your program. While hand drawn updates and memos can be a quick fix these do not lend to the long-term success of your mission. By partnering with Elevated for your technical documentation services you can ensure that documentation evolves along with your program, keeping users informed and systems operating smoothly.
