MIL-DTL-24784-3 Combat System Technical Operations Manual \(Cstom\) Requirements \(See Notice 2 For Replacement Information\)This specification sets forth the Naval Sea Systems Command requirements for the content, general style, and format of Combat System Technical Operations Manuals \(CSTOM\) \(see 6.2\) required for maintaining own-ship combat system \(see 6.3.3\) readiness. CSTOM provides operational forces and school commands with combat system level information concerning design, detailed inter-subsystem interface data, testing, maintenance, and capabilities in fleet user-oriented language and format. The CSTOM documents functional integration of all combat subsystems \(see 6.3.2\) in performance of the major combat system operational functions of detection and entry, tracking and identification, threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing, and engagement and engagement assessment.

MIL-DTL-24784/3B (SH)

explanation of the effect of reduced combat system manning, as would be experienced in readiness

condition III (see 6.3.8), on combat system operational sequences. This section shall provide

combat system manning requirements for various readiness conditions during combat system

operational sequences for ASW, AAW, SUW, and shore missions.

3.8.1.12 Condition III considerations. The last section of Chapter 4 shall provide an explanation

of the effect of reduced combat system manning, as would be experienced in readiness condition

III, on combat system operational sequences. This section shall provide combat system manning

requirements for various readiness conditions during combat system operational sequences for

ASW, AAW, SUW, and shore missions.

3.8.1.13 Bibliography. This section shall provide a list of documents used in preparing this

chapter.

3.9 Volume 3 - Combat system readiness. Volume 3 shall provide guidance to the ship

electronic readiness team (SERT) (see 6.3.13) for evaluating and improving combat system

material and operational readiness. Volume 3 shall primarily address organizational level

maintenance within the capability of ship senior maintenance personnel.

3.9.1 Chapter 5 - Readiness assessment. Chapter 5 shall describe the principles and objectives of

combat system readiness assessment (see 6.3.12) using the SERT concept, and shall define the

means for determining system readiness within ship organizational constraints. Details of the

PMS, with reference to the PMS record, shall be discussed.

3.9.1.1 Introduction to readiness assessment. This section shall contain an overview of the

combat system readiness assessment, fault detection, fault isolation, and impact evaluation tools

that shall be provided in volume 3. A drawing similar to figure 3-14 shall be used to introduce the

content of Chapters 5, 6, and 7, and to explain the relationship between the chapters.

3.9.1.2 Factors contributing to readiness assessment. The section shall define the principles and

objectives of readiness assessment. The description shall cover the scope and organization of

readiness assessment, and identify major factors and processes contributing to combat system

readiness. A drawing similar to figure 3-15, shall illustrate the dependency of readiness

assessment on fault detection, fault isolation, and impact evaluation.

3.9.1.3 SERT. This section shall explain SERT organization and responsibilities. Emphasis

shall be given to SERT activities such as test, training, material, and personnel management;

preventive and corrective maintenance management; and status reporting. Techniques to generate

optimum test schedules based on personnel and material assets and the ship's operating schedule

will be presented. Recommended forms, similar to figures 3-16 and 3-17, for preparing mission

summary reports and combat system daily fault reports shall be provided and described.

3.9.1.4 PMS. This section shall describe the principles and elements of integrated testing, and

explain the concepts and documentation available for testing. The major objectives of fault

isolation shall be defined, and the various types of fault isolation tools that personnel may select for
