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)

subsystem manual operational mode basic to most of the material to be presented in this volume.

Alternate automatic and semiautomatic operational modes, when applicable, shall also be

described. Changes in capabilities and limitations associated with the alternate modes shall be

described in this volume.

3.10.1.5 Ship characteristics. This section shall describe the ship characteristics during adverse

sea and wind conditions. The capability to maintain speed and course under the weather and sea-

state conditions specified in this chapter shall be described. Ship maneuverability shall be

described for specified speeds under the same environmental conditions.

3.10.1.6 AAW mission. This section shall describe the combat system capabilities and

limitations to counter, in the primary operating mode, each AAW threat group, in clear and

cluttered environments, from the functional aspects of detection and entry, tracking and

identification, threat evaluation and weapon pairing, engagement and engagement assessment.

The AAW capabilities and limitations in the automatic and semiautomatic modes shall also be

described. The capabilities and limitations of intercept aircraft, when available, in supporting the

AAW mission shall be addressed.

3.10.1.7 ASW mission. This section shall provide the same information as required by 3.10.1.6,

but addressing the ASW mission. The capabilities and limitations during both own-ship and

LAMPS engagements shall be addressed.

3.10.1.8 SUW mission. This section shall provide the same information as required by 3.10.1.6,

but addressing the SUW mission.

3.10.1.9 Shore mission. This section shall describe the combat system capabilities and

limitations to engage shore targets with all applicable fire control systems and ordnance. The

range limitations, accuracy, modes of firing and navigational aids and off-ship support

requirements shall be addressed.

3.10.1.10 Tactical data subsystem. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations of

the tactical data subsystem, in the principal operating modes, to support own-ship combatant

missions, including simultaneous multi-mission engagements, and to support or coordinate task

force and aircraft operations. This section shall also describe condition I constraints caused by

personnel fatigue, equipment failure due to excessive operation, and access restriction imposed by

setting condition Zebra. Reduced capability conditions caused by tactical data subsystem

equipment failure shall be addressed.

3.10.1.11 Reduced capability configurations. This section shall describe specific combat system

configurations that will reflect the inoperability of selected systems or equipment. Reduced

capabilities of the combat system shall be described for each configuration in applicable portions

of this volume.

3.10.1.12 Summary of combat system capabilities and limitations. This section shall present a
