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.

subsystem controlled functions. Where applicable, the weapon subsystem engagement capabilities

shall include a description of the available subsystem firepower. The additional sections shall

describe engagement and engagement assessment as in 3.10.5.2 for the following:

a. Gun weapon subsystem engagement and engagement assessment.

b. Underwater weapon subsystem engagement and engagement assessment (includes tables and

illustrations similar to figures 3-45 through 3-47).

c. Missile weapon subsystem engagement and engagement assessment (includes illustration

similar to figure 3-48).

d. Controlled aircraft engagement and engagement assessment.

e. LAMPS ASW and ECM engagement and engagement assessment.

f. Search radar subsystem engagement assessment.

g. Link 11, 14, and 4A engagement assessment.

h. Optical sensors engagement assessment.

i. Tactical data subsystem engagement assessment.

3.10.5.4 Summary of combat system engagement and engagement assessment capabilities and

limitations. This section shall provide a summary of engagement and engagement assessment

capabilities and limitations that support the AAW, ASW, SUW, and shore missions. Included

under each primary topic shall be a description of the impact of engagement and engagement

assessment on mission success. This section shall include discussions and illustrations of target

cross-range engageability envelope versus target altitude, weapon subsystem clear firing zone

limits, target engageability versus target speed, and firepower against a radial air attack.

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

chapter.

3.10.6 Chapter 13 - Emission control. Chapter 13 shall describe available ship features that

minimize electronic detection by hostile forces, the relative effectiveness of these techniques, and

methods for monitoring own-ship emissions. The EMCON plans on combat system readiness

shall be described with regard to reduced capabilities for detection and engagement during an

EMCON condition.

3.10.6.1 Introduction to EMCON. This section shall introduce the topic EMCON and shall

describe the purpose, content, and method of presentation of material in Chapter 13.

3.10.6.2 Cover and deception. This section shall describe technical capabilities of ship systems

and equipment to provide cover and deception. Topics shall include the means available for

active and passive cover and deception.

3.10.6.3 EMCON plans. This section shall discuss the existing ship EMCON plans relative to

the reduced combat system capabilities that are imposed. The primary topic shall be effects of

EMCON plans on combat system readiness. This section shall include tabular presentation of

radiating equipment and effects on combat system readiness.
