Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist COMBAT SYSTEMS COMMON CORE Combat Systems Missions  Detect to engage:  Detect hostile inbound target, report Range and Bearing to TAO, TAO gives weapons release authority. Self-Defense Weapons Coordinator designates target to Weapons Delivery System and destroys target.  Information Warfare:  The direction of forces and weapons to achieve a mission or goal.  Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS):  Gun fire support for troops landing or conducting operations on the beach RADAR & SONAR  Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) is the process for detecting the range, bearing , speed, and altitude of air and surface contacts.  Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) is the process of using sound as a method to detect range, bearing , speed, and shape of underwater objects. Defense Systems in Warfare Areas  Naval Gun Systems:  Fire Control:  Air Warfare  Designated operators in their corresponding warfare area with  Surface Warfare CO authorization to deliver weapons on targets.  Naval Missile Systems:  These operators conduct tracking and fire solutions for higher  Air Warfare probability of a kill on target.  Undersea Warfare  Commanding Officer overall in charge for weapon delivery from  Surface Warfare the ship.  Strike Warfare  Higher echelon authorization might be required depending on ship’s mission. Threats to U.S. Ships  ASM/ASCM  Submarines  Torpedo  Aircraft  UAV  Warships  FAC/FIAC  Fast Attack Craft/Fast Inshore Attack Craft  Mine  Shore Battery  Cyber Attacks  Ship’s Weapons  *Harpoon: High subsonic, anti-ship, tactical surface to surface cruise missile.  Tomahawk: Guidance is by terrain matching and inertial navigation.  Vertical launched ASROC: Anti-submarine weapon.  Standard missiles: Medium range/extended range SM-2.  *RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile): lightweight, quick-reaction, fire-and-forget missile designed to destroy anti-ship cruise missiles and asymmetric air and surface threats.  Torpedo: Anti-surface and anti-submarine weapon.  CIWS: Close-In Weapon System.  *NATO Sea Sparrow/ ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile): radar-guided, surface- to-air missile based on the Navy and Marine Corps AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile.  Gun Weapons Systems: uses high velocity cannon, a forward looking infrared sensor, a low light television camera, and a laser rangefinder for shipboard self- defense against small, high speed surface targets.  Nulka: The decoy provides a larger, more attractive target to the missile consistent with the ASM’s range and angle tracking and moves slowly away from the ship, thus defeating the threat. Uses for Radar Systems  Air: Search and track for air contacts.  Surface: Search and track fire solutions on surface contacts.  Fire Control: For the use of the weapons systems to generate a fire solution on surface or air targets.  Navigation: Provides information for safe navigation. Radar Systems  2-Dimensional: These radar  3-Dimensional: These radar detections provide bearing and detections provide altitude, range. bearing and range. Combat Systems Operational Sequencing System  Ship specific “blue prints” of the systems onboard located in the spaces with corresponding equipment and CSMC (Combat Systems Maintenance Center).  Provides detailed, step by step procedures for performing or responding to the following:  System start-up.  System shutdown.  Casualty Line-up.  Emergency procedures. CSOSS Watchstanders  Combat Systems Coordinator/Combat Systems Readiness Officer  Ensure that maintenance is performed on all systems to maintain equipment readiness.  Combat Systems Officer of the Watch  Ensures that members are performing maintenance, reduce conflicts in tag-outs, and maintains communications during equipment casualties (Combat Systems).  Area supervisor (air, surface, undersea, electronic)  Responsible for the personnel and equipment status updates from the watches of that specific area. Torpedo Countermeasure Transmitting Set AN/SLQ-25C Nixie  The Transmitting Set is a ship towed decoy system used to divert incoming hostile torpedoes.  A unit is towed astern by a fiber optic cable and creates acoustic noises similar to propeller and machinery to attract and deceive an incoming torpedo away from the ship and lure it to the towed device. Passive& Active  SONAR systems can be either passive or active.  Passive SONAR uses computer processing to determine an object’s characteristics based on sound the object produces. Only bearing can be gained from passive SONAR.  Active SONAR discovers objects by transmitting sound waves into the water and processing the return of any object in the waves’ path. Bearing and range can be gained from active SONAR. SONAR Performance  SONAR performance is affected by the temperature, pressure, salinity, and depth of water.  The speed of sound in the ocean is the critical factor in wave paths that sound will take as it travels and greatly affects SONAR detection ranges.  Temperature: If temperature increases, the speed of sound increases. If temperature decreases, the speed of sound decreases.  Pressure: As you go deeper (pressure increases) the speed of sound increases. As you get shallower (pressure decreases) the speed of sound decreases.  Salinity: As salinity increases, the speed of sound increases. As salinity decreases, the speed of sound decreases.  Temperature is the strongest factor affecting sound performance underwater. Weapon Casualties and Safety  Hang Fire  Delay in the detonation of primer/ignition charge.  Misfire  The weapon fails to discharge rounds or did not fire.  Hot Gun  Gun barrel and chamber wall temperature have been raised through prolonged firing to the cook off point.  Train Warning Circle  Circle painted outside the radius of the gun marking the safety zone. Weapon System Components  Detection Identifying a target.  Direction Aiming of the weapon towards the target.  Delivery Firing of the round.  Destruction Detonation of the round. Frequency Radiation Safety  Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO).  To reduce the amount of frequencies being used. These High Frequencies may detonate a round.  Hazardous Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP).  Measurements shall be accomplished at all operator locations and personnel common areas to include entry/exit points, and all personnel high traffic areas.  Hazardous Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF).  The combustible hazards associated with restriction for fuel handling areas and operations. Frequency Ranges  High Frequency (HF)  3-30 MHz  b. Very High Frequency (VHF)  30-300 MHz  c. Ultra High Frequency (UHF)  300-3000MHz  d. Super High Frequency (SHF)  3-30 GHz  e. Extremely High Frequency (EHF)  30-300 GHz General Combat Systems Knowledge  Primary gun batteries on Navy surface combatants.  5 in  76mm  Blue color coding in regards to ammunition.  Designates the round as a dummy/training round.  Electronic cooling systems.  To keep the system within operating temperatures.  Purpose of the ships’ gyro as it relates to weapon systems.  Trains system weapon on a target and remains constant. References:  NAVEDTRA 43901-B  COMNAVSURFORINST 4790.9, Implementation and Utilization of the Combat System  NAVEDTRA 14324, Gunner’s Mate Operational Sequencing System (CSOSS)  NAVEDTRA 14098, Fire Controlman Volume 1  NAVEDTRA 14120, Interior Communication Electrician, Vol. 1  NAVEDTRA 14099, Fire Controlman Volume 2  NAVEDTRA 14121, Interior Communication  NAVEDTRA 14100, Fire Controlman Volume 3 Electrician, Vol. 2  NAVEDTRA 14101, Fire Controlman Volume 4  NAVEDTRA 14122, Interior Communication  NAVEDTRA 14102, Fire Controlman Volume 5 Electrician, Vol. 3  NAVEDTRA 14103, Fire Controlman Volume 6  NAVEDTRA 14090, Electronics Technician, Volume 05--Navigation Systems  NAVEDTRA 14097, Fire Controlman Supervisor  NTTP 3-21.33, Surface Torpedo Attack Tactics  NAVSEA OP-3347, USN Ordnance Safety Countermeasures Evasion Manual Precautions  ATP-28, Allied Antisubmarine Warfare Manual  The Bluejackets’ Manual  RP 33, Fleet Oceanographic and Acoustic Reference Manual  http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp ?cid=2200&tid=800&ct=2 Questions?
