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.

3.7 Volume 1 - Combat system description. Volume 1 shall provide information for combat

system personnel that summarizes ship physical and functional characteristics, missions,

capabilities, and the interrelationships between combat system subsystems. This volume shall

provide technical personnel with a description and analysis of the principal functions of each

subsystem, the interfaces between subsystems, and the dependency of the combat system mission

on the subsystems. Subsystem descriptive material shall not be unnecessarily duplicated. A

reference to the appropriate subsystem technical manual shall be provided for each subsystem

description.

3.7.1 Chapter 1 - Introduction. This chapter shall introduce the CSTOM and provide a physical

and functional description of the ship. It shall provide an overview of the ship mission and

capabilities, and shall identify the subsystem equipment comprising the combat system, and the

physical location of selected subsystem equipment. A general description shall be provided for

each of the subsystems, together with the functional role each has in supporting the ship combat

mission.

3.7.1.1 Introduction to CSTOM. This section shall briefly describe the purpose, scope, and

content of CSTOM. This section shall also include submittal and routing instructions for

reporting of errors and technical manual improvement in accordance with MIL-DTL-24784.

3.7.1.2 Ship and combat system description. This section shall provide a description of ship

missions, capabilities, and physical characteristics; include a level 1 description of all ship combat

subsystems and related armament; such as search radar subsystem, tactical data subsystem,

electronic warfare subsystem, gun weapon subsystem, underwater weapon subsystem, missile

weapon subsystem, LAMPS subsystem, external navigation subsystem, external communication

subsystem and support subsystem. The primary ship combat missions of anti-air warfare,

antisubmarine warfare, surface and shore bombardment shall be described. An introduction to
