missile launching system. Each of these systems may be independently identified as systems when
being discussed as functional or architectural entities.
6.3.3 Combat system. The composite of those elements of a platform whose functions include
surveillance, detection, processing, and actively or passively engaging enemy forces. The
functions performed by the combat system are accomplished by an integrated assemblage of
systems, methods, trained personnel, and documentation having regular interaction and
interdependence.
6.3.4 Combat system baseline. The level at which subsystems are interfaced to form the
foundation of the combat system. It represents documentation necessary for integrated testing
and fault isolation of combat subsystems.
6.3.5 Combat system functions. The combat system functions referred to herein are those major
operational functions that include detection and entry, tracking and identification, threat
evaluation and threat-to-weapon pairing, engagement and engagement assessment.
6.3.6 Combat system maintenance. Combat system maintenance, as provided in CSTOM, does
not entail any peculiar scheduled or unscheduled maintenance procedures. However, combat
system maintenance does identify PMS subsystem and equipment tests that verify combat system
functions (detection and entry, tracking and identification, threat evaluation and threat-to-weapon
pairing, and engagement assessment) associated with each of the combat system missions (AAW,
ASW, SUW, and shore). The results of these tests are used to assess degraded readiness for
specific combat system missions, and to aid in combat system intersubsystem fault isolation.
6.3.7 Watch condition I. Defines ship wartime cruising during periods when active combat is
imminent, and the complete battle complement at stations is required.
6.3.8 Watch condition III. Defines ship normal wartime cruising during periods when active
combat is not imminent, and about one-third of the battle complement at stations is required. This
provides optimum balance between combat readiness and personnel efficiency for extended
cruising periods.
6.3.9 Level of data coverage. A unit of data description that represents depth of content
beginning with an overview and progressing to more detailed coverage. Levels of data
description 1 through 3 are applicable to CSTOM as defined in 3.6.1.
6.3.10 OMN. A drawing that specifically defines combat system operating sequences and
provides the link between subsystem functional descriptions and OSN drawings.
6.3.11 OSN. Narrative and graphic representations which specifically identify operations that
are sequentially performed when operating the combat system in a tactical environment.
6.3.12 Readiness assessment. A method to assess a level of confidence in the combat system to
