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.

3.10.6.4 Radiation characteristics. This section shall define radiation characteristics of own-ship

equipment, such as frequency and power directly related to the risk of having emissions

intercepted by the enemy. Emission characteristics of all significant electromagnetic sources as

defined by the contracting activity, shall be included in a matrix similar to figure 3-49, listing the

emission characteristics, radiation power levels, transmission frequency, beam pattern, and silence

features.

3.10.6.5 EMCON monitoring. This section shall detail ship capabilities for monitoring emitter

status (on, off, dummy load). The relative effectiveness of internal and external emission

monitoring features as they affect detection avoidance shall be discussed.

3.10.6.6 Summary of combat system EMCON capabilities and limitations. This section shall

provide a summary of EMCON capabilities and limitations that support AAW, ASW, SUW and

shore missions. Included under each primary topic shall be a description of the impact of

EMCON on mission effectiveness.

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

chapter.

3.10.7 Chapter 14 - Communications capabilities and limitations. Chapter 14 shall describe

capabilities and limitations of ship internal and external communication systems. Primary and

alternate communication systems integral to conduct of ship combat missions shall be addressed.

3.10.7.1 Introduction to communications capabilities and limitations. This section shall

introduce the topic of communications and shall describe the purpose, content, and method of

presentation of material in Chapter 14.

3.10.7.2 Interior communications. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations of

all ship interior communication systems and related components. Coverage shall include tactical

data subsystem intercommunications, sound powered telephone, announcing circuits, and dial

telephone circuit.

3.10.7.3 External communications. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations of

all ship external communication systems and related components. Coverage shall include satellite

communication, crypto devices, secure voice and non-secure voice link, teletype circuits,

underwater radio (UHF and VHF), and tactical data subsystem links 11, 14, and 4A.

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

chapter.

3.10.8 Chapter 15 - Navigation capabilities and limitations. Chapter 15 shall describe all ship

navigation subsystem capabilities and limitations with respect to conduct of ship combat missions.

Coverage shall include satellite navigation, OMEGA, direction finder sets, and TACAN.

3.10.8.1 Introduction to navigation capabilities and limitations. This section shall introduce the
