3.10.4 Chapter 11 - Threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing capabilities and limitations.
Chapter 11 shall describe the combat system threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing
capabilities and limitations during normal and reduced capability operations. All factors involved
in automatic and manual threat evaluation shall be described, including threat position relative to
the defended zone; threat identification; and threat course, speed, and altitude.
3.10.4.1 Introduction to combat system threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing
capabilities and limitations. This section shall describe the purpose, content, and
method of presentation of the material in Chapter 11.
3.10.4.2 Tactical data subsystem threat evaluation. This section shall describe the capabilities
and limitations of the tactical data subsystem to perform both manual and automatic threat
evaluation. The capabilities and limitations inherent in the methods and algorithms used for
tactical data subsystem threat evaluation shall be described. The impact of a computer failure on
tactical data subsystem threat evaluations shall be described. Primary topics shall include threat
value and relative threat calculations, threat evaluation displays, and reduced capabilities.
3.10.4.3 Weapon direction system threat evaluation. This section shall describe the weapon
direction subsystem capabilities and limitations for threat evaluation while operating under normal
and reduced capabilities including evaluation of threats detected by the target designation
transmitter. The display of threat parameters relative to the accuracy achieved and the proficiency
of operators in evaluating these displays shall be described. Primary topics of display, operator
judgment (experience and training), and reduced capability shall be addressed.
3.10.4.4 Electronic warfare threat evaluation. This section shall describe threat evaluation
capabilities and limitations of the ESM suite. Threat evaluation performed by the electronic
warfare supervisor shall be addressed with regard to available display parameters under normal
and reduced capabilities. Primary topics shall include types of displays, determination of display
parameters, and evaluation of display parameters.
3.10.4.5 Weapon subsystem threat evaluation. This section shall describe threat evaluation
capabilities and limitations of the gun weapon subsystem, underwater weapon subsystem, and
missile weapon subsystem. Display capabilities relative to threat parameters, the number of
threats that can be processed, and the limitations imposed by operator decisions shall be
described. Primary topics of display (normal and reduced capability), operator judgment, and
effects of environmental considerations shall be addressed.
3.10.4.6 Threat-to-weapon pairing. This section shall address combat system facilities for
threat-to-weapon pairing, which is the process by which a threat is assigned for engagement by a
particular weapon subsystem. This section shall describe the combat system manual,
semiautomatic, and automatic capabilities for threat-to-weapon pairing. These capabilities shall
include subsystem reaction times, engagement envelopes, non-firing and unclear zones for
applicable weapons subsystems. The combat system displays and computer recommendations
available to operators, and the limitations associated with these facilities shall be addressed.
Primary topics of manual threat-to-weapon pairing, semiautomatic threat-to-weapon pairing,
