Both are correct. In the industry, the term “Integrated Product Support (IPS)” has been used since the “Spec S3000L Issue 2.0” of April 2021. In the US (and in GEIA-Std-0007), the term IPS is also used in defense domain.
In parts of the security and defense area, for example NATO, the term “Integrated Lifecycle Support (ILS)” is used synonymously.
Historically, the term Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) was used before.
