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)

summary of AAW, ASW, SUW, and shore mission capabilities and limitations. The summary

shall indicate the influence of all factors considered within this volume.

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

chapter.

3.10.2 Chapter 9 - Detection capabilities and limitations. This section shall describe the merits

of various identification sources. These sources shall include IFF and selective identification

feature (SIF), intelligence reports, electronic surveillance monitoring (ESM) receivers, ordered

maneuver responses, and operational orders. Typical time spans required for identification and

classification using each of the identifying means shall be tabulated. Primary topics shall include

automatic threat identification, manual threat identification, ESM threat identification (when not a

part of manual or automatic threat identification), and sonar threat identification.

3.10.2.1 Introduction to combat system detection capabilities and limitations. This section shall

describe the content, purpose, and method of presentation of the material in Chapter 9.

3.10.2.2 Search radar subsystem detection. This section shall describe search radar capabilities

and limitations relative to threat detection in a clear, ECM, and non-ECM degraded environments.

Illustrations and tables, similar to figures 3-38, 3-39 and 3-40 shall depict the detection volume

and characteristics of search radars. Description and illustrations covering search radar

capabilities relative to threat detection in an ECM environment shall include passive and active

jamming. Description and illustrations shall also describe search radar detection capabilities in a

non-ECM environment degraded by weather, sea clutter, and land mass background.

3.10.2.2.1 IFF detection. This section shall describe own-ship IFF detection capabilities. The

description shall identify range, altitude, and bearing accuracy and limitations, and available modes

of operations. The maximum number of friendly tracks the system may process shall be

described. Primary topics of operational modes, detection sectors, and track overloads shall be

discussed.

3.10.2.3 Electronic warfare subsystem support measures detection. This section shall describe

overall detection capabilities of the electronic support measures suite and the individual equipment

capabilities during normal operation. Primary topics shall include electronic support measures

countermeasures receiving and direction finding set capabilities and limitations.

3.10.2.4 Gun weapon subsystem radar detection. This section shall provide a description of the

capabilities and limitations of the gun weapon subsystem radars in performance of initial threat

detection without designated target position quantities supplied. Coverage shall include detection

of air and surface targets in clear, ECM, and non-ECM degraded environments. Coverage shall

be similar to that in 3.10.2.2 and 3.10.2.2.1.

3.10.2.4.1 Optical detection. This section shall describe hardware and operator capabilities and

limitations of optical devices, including the target designation transmitter and television cameras.

The detection ranges, field of vision, and the accuracy of the transmitted data shall be included.
