NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN
FOR THE
AN/SSC-12 SHIPBOARD AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
N88-NTSP-A-50-0003/I
APRIL 2001
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) has been developed to identify the manpower, personnel, and training requirements associated with the AN/SSC-12 Shipboard Air Traffic Control Communications (SATCC) System. The SATCC System provides intercom, interphone, and radio communications switching via digitized voice and data busses aboard Aircraft Carriers (CV) and Nuclear Aircraft Carriers (CVN).
Installation has been completed aboard two CVNs and one CV. Initial Operating Capability was achieved in FY98. Installation aboard the remaining CVs and CVNs is scheduled between FY01 and FY03. Procurement of the SATCC System is being accomplished through a Non-Acquisition Category procurement action that utilizes the Abbreviated Acquisition Program. SATCC components are Non-Developmental Items obtained through Commercial Off-The-Shelf procurement.
The SATCC System is primarily operated by Air Traffic Controllers, the Carrier Controlled Approach Officer, Landing Signal Officers (LSO), the Air Officer, the Assistant Air Officer, the Air Operations Officer, and the Assistant Air Operations Officer. Additional communication devices are provided to Operations Specialists in the Combat Direction Center, the Commanding Officer, the Officer of the Deck, etc.
Maintenance of the SATCC System is performed at two levels; organizational and depot. Organizational level maintenance of the SATCC System is performed by Electronics Technicians (ET) with Navy Enlisted Classification code 1425. A depot level maintenance plan has not been established at this time.
Initial operator training consists of Computer-Based Training provided by the Program Office, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Code 53Z. Additionally, In-Service Engineering Activity personnel from the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center Charleston detachment in Norfolk, Virginia, conduct familiarization training and On-the-Job Training (OJT) for both operators and maintainers prior to and during the initial at-sea period. Until follow-on training is established, NAVSEA Code 53Z will fund two maintenance technicians from each activity receiving the SATCC System to attend Rapid Deployable Voice Switch (RDVS) IIA training at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Follow-on operator training for Carrier Air Traffic Control Center personnel, LSOs, Air Officers, Assistant Air Officers, Air Operations Officers, and Assistant Air Operations Officers will be incorporated into the existing course at Naval Air Technical Training Center Pensacola, Florida, and the LSO School at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia. The remaining operators will receive training via Personnel Qualification Standards and OJT. Follow-on SATCC System maintenance training will be accomplished by sending ET 1425 personnel that have Permanent Change of Station orders to CVs and CVNs to the RDVS IIA course at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Formal follow-on training will begin when 50 percent of the aircraft carriers are configured with the SATCC System.
SATCC System operator billets are watch-station driven and therefore, introduction of the SATCC System will not increase operator manpower requirements. SPAWAR has conducted a Reliability Centered Maintenance Analysis and has determined that the addition of SATCC System planned maintenance will increase the Maintenance Technician ET NEC 1425 workload by 35 man-hours annually and will decrease NEC 1568 workload by 1535 man-hours annually.

PREFACE
This April 2001 iteration is the first update to the original May 2000 Initial Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) for the AN/SSC-12 Shipboard Air Traffic Control Communications (SATCC) System, A-50-0003/I. This document explores the various employment and support alternatives currently under consideration. Since it is relatively early in the development process, some definitive data was unavailable for inclusion in this version. This NTSP is a product of the Training Planning Process Methodology, as outlined in OPNAV Publication P-751-3-9-97.
This revision incorporates comments on the May 2000 version, including removal of information relating to the installation of the SATCC System aboard Amphibious Assault Ships, and incorporation of maintenance manpower and follow-on training information decided upon at the SATCC System NTSP Conference held 1 November 2000.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Operational Uses. The SATCC System uses the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Rapid Deployable Voice Switch (RDVS) as its basic building block, and coupled with Programmable Integrated Communication Terminals (PICT), provides intercom, interphone, and radio communications switching via digitized voice and data busses aboard Aircraft Carriers (CV) and Nuclear Aircraft Carriers (CVN). The system provides voice communications between Air Traffic Control (ATC) operator positions and the following:
- Other ATC operator positions in the warfare center, through the intercom function
- Command and control positions throughout the ship, through the interphone function
- Aircraft, through the radio function
- Shipboard telephone system and other interior communication systems
2. Foreign Military Sales. No foreign military sales are currently planned for the SATCC System. The United States Army and the FAA currently employ a version of the SATCC System.
E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. Since the SATCC System is a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Non-Developmental Item (NDI), no developmental testing was conducted. Operational testing was successfully completed aboard the USS Enterprise in 1998 and USS Harry S. Truman in 2000 which included Landing Signal Officer (LSO) terminals and terminals installed in Primary Flight Control (PRI-FLY). The only modification made to the COTS equipment was to harden the components for shipboard environment and to modify software to support the features and functions of the fleet users.
F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The SATCC System is a direct replacement for the OJ-314(V) Voice Communication Switch and communication devices and ancillary equipment on the LSO platform and in PRI-FLY.
G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
1. Functional Description. The SATCC System is an integrated voice switching system that provides both air-to-ground and ground-to-ground connectivity to support the ATC voice communication function. The SATCC System will permit simultaneous operation of all operational positions to either make radio transmissions, place calls, receive calls, or all functions. The SATCC System consists of terminals located at each operator position, which will control the communications switching equipment located in an equipment room. The SATCC System is modular in design and can accommodate up to 16 PICTs and 16 Touch Entry Displays (TED) located throughout the ship.
2. Physical Description
a. Equipment Room. The equipment room consists of multiple components as follows:

Note: Systems are configured with either a UPS and By-Pass Switch or an embedded Battery Back-up feature.
b. Operator Locations. In addition to the TED and PICT in the equipment room, there are additional TEDs and PICTs located at operator sites throughout the ship. The physical dimensions and weight of these units are the same as those located in the equipment room. TEDs are terminals used by supervisors and controllers working radar display consoles in Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC), the LSOs on the LSO platform, and the Air Officers in PRI-FLY. PICTs are used by status board operators, data display operators, Combat Direction Center (CDC) operators, and persons in a command and control position directly associated with flight operations.
3. New Development Introduction. The SATCC System is a NDI that was introduced to the fleet through COTS procurement.
4. Significant Interfaces. The SATCC System interfaces with Ship's Service Telephone System, Sound Powered Phone System, ATC radios via Black Secure Voice Switch, ATC audio and video recorder, and the Integrated Launch and Recovery Television System.

2. Maintenance Concept. SATCC System maintenance is based on two levels of maintenance; organizational and depot.
a. Organizational. Organizational level maintenance of the SATCC System is performed by Navy personnel in the Electronics Technician (ET) rating with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code 1425.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. Preventive Maintenance (PM) of the SATCC System is limited to cleaning, measuring, testing, and corrosion prevention. Apart from "general housekeeping," cleaning and corrosion prevention is performed on an annual schedule in accordance with the preliminary Maintenance Requirements Cards (MRC). Measurements are taken and tests are conducted during monthly and quarterly maintenance checks and as required.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. Corrective Maintenance of the SATCC System includes fault isolation and replacement to the Lowest Repairable Unit (LRU), connector repair, and headset/handset piece part replacement. The LRU for the switch and TED is defined to be the module. The LRU for the PICT is the entire unit, with the exception of the knobs.
b. Intermediate. NA
c. Depot. A depot level maintenance plan is being developed and will be in place concurrent with the Material Support Date (MSD) currently scheduled for July 2001. When more information becomes available it will be included in future updates to this NTSP. The depot plan will address the three major components: the 3080G switch, TED, and PICT. Direct Vendor Delivery methodology will be considered for each of these components.
d. Interim Maintenance. Maintenance support will be available on an as-required basis through the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center In-Service Engineering Activity (ISEA) until MSD is met.
e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The design of the SATCC System is such that, when properly maintained, it will support continuous operation throughout its projected ten-year service life.
3. Manning Concept
a. Estimated Maintenance Man-Hours per Operating Hour. The SATCC System requires 35 man-hours of PM annually in accordance with the preliminary Preventive Maintenance System (PMS) and MRC package, Fleet Technical Support Center Pacific Publication 4416P19-60. Additionally, 21 maintenance man-hours will be required for Lay-up and Start-up PMS conducted in association with ship inactive periods. These maintenance man-hour estimates do not include communication checks for CATCC, LSO, and PRI-FLY. With the system being software driven, communications checks can be accomplished once prior to getting underway to verify operation (accomplished by user or CATCC personnel as part of their normal underway checks). The LSO override interface is software driven and need only be tested during Ships Operational Verification Testing and software updates. Checks for system failures are conducted internally by system software. Technicians need only conduct maintenance actions when equipment reports failures or PMS and MRC requires. Along the same line, the system is highly reliable and does not require a technician to be present in CATCC during Case III (night or bad weather) flight operations to monitor the system. The SPAWAR System Center is currently conducting a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis. This RCM analysis may identify additional PMS and MRC procedures; however, an increase in man-hours is not expected to be significant.
b. Proposed Utilization. The SATCC System is maintained in an up-and-operating status 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The only time the system is taken down is during extended periods of ship inactivity such as a yard period or for annual cleaning and inspection.
c. Recommended Qualitative and Quantitative Manpower Requirements
(1) Operator. There are no billets dedicated solely to the operation of the SATCC System. The personnel who operate the SATCC System are filling watch-station requirements and are required even if the SATCC System does not replace the existing systems.
(2) Maintenance. Two ETs with primary NEC 1425 and secondary NEC 14XX will be required to maintain the SATCC System at each operating site.
(3) Predecessor System. The OJ-314(V) Voice Switch is maintained by ETs with NEC 1568 and requires 1,535 man-hours of maintenance annually. This reduction in workload may have an impact on the ship's manpower requirement for ET 1568 personnel.
4. Training Concept. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Code 53Z and SPAWAR System Center ISEA are providing initial operator and maintenance training to personnel at each activity receiving the SATCC System. Follow-on operator training for CATCC personnel, LSOs, Air Operations Officers, and Assistant Air Operations Officers will be incorporated into the existing course at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Pensacola, Florida, and the LSO School at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Virginia. The remaining operators will receive training via Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) and On-the-Job Training (OJT). Follow-on SATCC System Maintenance training will be accomplished by sending ET 1425 personnel to the RDVS IIA course at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Graduates of this FAA course will be awarded secondary NEC 14XX, AN/SSC-12 Communications System Maintenance Technician. Formal follow-on training will begin when 50 percent of the aircraft carriers are configured with the SATCC System.
a. Initial Training
(1) Operator. Initial operator training consists of Computer-Based Training (CBT) delivered to the ship by the Program Office, NAVSEA Code 53Z, in Compact Disk-Read Only Memory format during the initial installation. In addition to CBT, familiarization training is conducted with each work center, and SPAWAR ISEA personnel provide OJT during the initial underway period. Quick reference guides are provided to the work centers along with vendor-supplied user's manuals.
(2) Maintenance. NAVSEA funded maintenance technicians from the first two installation sites (CVN 65, USS Enterprise and CVN 75, USS Harry S. Truman) to attend factory training. Beginning with the third installation, NAVSEA has funded two maintenance technicians at each activity receiving the SATCC System to attend RDVS maintenance training at the FAA Academy in addition to the CBT and OJT described above. Personnel who completed initial maintenance training, either at the factory or the FAA Academy, are eligible to receive the new secondary NEC 14XX, AN/SSC-12 Communications System Maintenance Technician.

2. Program Documentation. NAVSEA is currently developing the Operational Requirements Document, Integrated Logistics Support Plan, Maintenance Plan, and other related program documents. When completed, this information will be included in future updates to this NTSP.
3. Technical Data Plan. NAVSEA is currently developing the required MRCs and Maintenance Index Page. Commercial operator and maintenance manuals will be utilized. In accordance with current directives, the primary maintenance manuals will be produced as Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals using the approved Standard Generalized Mark-up Language format. Until the Navy documents are completed, the following hard copy contractor-furnished manuals will be issued:

4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment. No special test sets or special test equipment are required to support the SATCC System. All hand tools and common electronic test equipment required to support the SATCC System are currently available in the maintenance work center.
5. Repair Parts. Prior to MSD, the contractor provides repair parts for components under warranty. The Navy Inventory Control Point Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, will be responsible for SATCC System supply support after MSD. Fleet users will requisition required spare and repair parts through normal supply channels. The ISEA will provide any requirement for repair parts that occur between the end of the warranty period and MSD.
6. Human Systems Integration. Since the SATCC System is a COTS procurement action, the Navy had no additional Human Systems Integration (HSI) input into the hardware design, except those considerations during installation of the equipment to ensure units were positioned to provide ease of access for maintenance personnel and comfort of operation to the operators. The Navy has drawn from the HSI efforts put forth by the FAA in the development of the RDVS System with additional software modifications to meet fleet requirements as they relate to end user features and functions.
