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.

topic of navigation and shall describe the purpose, content and method of presentation of material

in Chapter 15.

3.10.8.2 Satellite navigation system. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations

of the satellite navigation system. Accuracy and reliability of the satellite navigation system in

clear and degraded weather, and effects of temperature variations and sunspot activity shall be

addressed. Reduced capabilities resulting from equipment casualties shall also be described.

3.10.8.3 OMEGA navigation system. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations

of the OMEGA navigation system. Accuracy and reliability of the OMEGA navigation system in

clear and degraded weather, and effects of daily and seasonal ionospheric variations shall be

addressed. Reduced capabilities resulting from equipment casualties shall also be described.

3.10.8.4 Radio direction finders (RDFs). This section shall describe the capabilities and

limitations of shipboard RDFs. Accuracy and reliability of RDF readings in clear and degraded

weather, and effects of daily and seasonal ionospheric variations and sunspot activity shall be

addressed.

3.10.8.5 TACAN. This section shall describe the capabilities and limitations of the shipboard

TACAN navigation system. Reduced capabilities for airborne navigation resulting from

equipment casualties shall be addressed.

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

chapter.

3.11 Appendix A - Supplementary data. An appendix shall provide test procedures, fault

isolation tools, or other maintenance data either unavailable or inadequately covered in subsystem

or equipment documentation. An engineering analysis of subsystem documentation shall

determine the need for the appendix. The appendix shall be sectionalized by subsystem. Text

shall be developed to the same style and format as that provided by the respective subsystem

technical manual. Diagrams, schematics, tables and line art developed as part of the appendix

shall be prepared to the same format, density and depth as equivalent material contained in the

respective subsystem technical manual. The method of promulgating the appendix, whether as an

addendum to volume 3 or a separately bound document, shall be specified by the Government.

4. VERIFICATION

4.1 Quality assurance provisions. The quality assurance requirements for delivery of book

plans, review draft copies, preliminary technical manuals, final reproducible copy, technical

manuals, replenishment materials, changes and revisions shall be in accordance with

MIL-DTL-24784.

5. PACKAGING

For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the

5.1 Packaging.
