3.7.2.12 Bibliography. This section shall provide a list of documents used in preparing this
chapter.
3.7.3 Chapter 3 - Combat system operational description. Chapter 3 shall describe major
combat system functions used in all modes of combat system operations. Include combat system
functions of detection and entry, tracking and identification, threat evaluation and threat-to-
weapon pairing, and engagement and engagement assessment. The major functions of the combat
system shall be defined and summarized, and each function shall be described in detail in
subsequent sections. Level 1 combat system configurations, including normal, alternate, and
backup features available through combat system switching, that relate to the major combat
system functions shall be described. A level 2 function flow pictorial, similar to figure 3-11, shall
be used to illustrate each combat system function or principal sub-function described in Chapter 3.
The functional flow pictorial drawings in Chapter 3 shall be divided into segments that are
compatible for the production of view-graphs. Each segment shall have an image area of 7-1/2-
inches (vertical) by 8-inches (horizontal).
3.7.3.1 Introduction to combat system functions. This section shall introduce and define combat
system functions, and subsystem functions pertinent to the modes of combat system operation,
and explain data transmission between subsystems. The general description shall prepare the
reader for more detailed functional descriptions in subsequent sections.
3.7.3.2 Detection and entry. This section shall describe the initial track, detection and entry
functions, and functional flow between subsystems performed for all radar, sonar, visual, or
remote contacts to include air, surface, or subsurface threats entered manually or automatically
into the combat system.
3.7.3.3 Tracking and identification. This section shall describe tactical data subsystem tracking
and identification functions and functional flow between subsystems occurring for any track
entered into the combat system, either locally by own-ship sensors or remotely by any
participating unit within the operational areas of the fleet.
3.7.3.4 Threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing. This section shall describe threat
evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing function, including weapon assignment. Data flow
between subsystems to accomplish threat evaluation and weapon pairing for tracks considered
hostile to own-ship and to fleet security shall be described.
3.7.3.5 Engagement and engagement assessment. This section shall describe target engagement
and engagement assessment functions for functional flow between subsystems occurring for
targets assigned to the electronics warfare subsystem, gun weapon subsystem, underwater
weapon subsystem, missile weapon subsystem, the interceptor aircraft, or LAMPS.
3.7.3.6 Bibliography. This section shall provide a list of documents used in preparing this
chapter.
3.8 Volume 2 - Operational sequences. Volume 2 shall present the sequential functional
