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)

automatic threat-to-weapon pairing, and threat-to-weapon pairing under casualty conditions shall

be addressed.

3.10.4.7 Summary of combat system threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing capabilities

and limitations. This section shall provide a summary of threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon

pairing capabilities and limitations supporting the AAW, ASW, SUW and shore mission. Included

under each primary topic shall be a description of the impact threat evaluation and threat-to-

weapon pairing has on mission success.

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

chapter.

3.10.5 Chapter 12 - Engagement and engagement assessment. 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, automatic threat-to-weapon pairing, and threat-to-weapon pairing under casualty

conditions shall be addressed.

3.10.5.1 Introduction to engagement and engagement assessment. This section shall describe

the purpose, content, and method of presentation of material in Chapter 12.

3.10.5.2 Electronic Warfare ECM engagement and engagement assessment. This section shall

describe the capabilities and limitations of the ECM subsystem in performing active and passive

engagement and engagement assessment. The combat system capabilities for an ECM

engagement and engagement assessment shall first be described for a typical, non-degraded

condition (AAW mission, manual mode, non-ECM, clean environment, without emission control

restrictions or multi-mission conflicts). The impact of modifying considerations on ECM

engagement and engagement assessment shall then be described and include the following:

Alternate type of mission (ASW, SUW, or shore).

Automatic or semiautomatic mode.

Combat system casualties.

Alternate threat categories.

Multi-mission activity.

Degraded environment (weather and ECM).

EMCON requirements.

Reduced manning level.

3.10.5.3 Additional sections. Additional sections shall be used to describe engagement and

engagement assessment capabilities and limitations for other applicable weapon subsystems or
