atw: Re: The things that make up a system

Hi Kath (B)
Check in-house and defence / area standards, prior documentation, then with the intended audience for their preferred usage and general understanding. You might have to get the authors of the draft sections / briefing documents to confer and agree on standardised terms.
Whatever you use, stay consistent (and be sure that they are not referring to submarine systems versus whatever else they might mean). 

Best to build a glossary to clarify whatever you use.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Micky G.

hi austechwriters,
I am editing a document for a military audience. The document uses Sub System, Subsystem and Sub-System, often in the same paragraph. I am going to change them all to Subsystem, but I am curious. What do you use? 
cheers
Kath
