Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

An SSGN Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System Operator conducts normal TTWCS operations and performs basic preventive maintenance on the system and its support and test equipment. The operator assists with system casualties, handles internal and external communications, troubleshoots the system, performs operational readiness tests, follows applicable safety precautions, and participates in weapon system evolutions.

Core Skills

  • Weapon-system operational readiness testing
  • Support and test equipment preventive maintenance
  • System troubleshooting and fault-correction assistance

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

TTWCS troubleshooting, basic preventive maintenance, and operational readiness testing overlap with diagnosing and maintaining industrial electronic equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on industrial electronics lab focused on diagnosing equipment faults and verifying operation after repair.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test faulty equipment to diagnose malfunctions, using test equipment or software, and applying knowledge of the functional operation of electronic units and systems.
  • Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

TTWCS readiness testing and work with associated test equipment provide a foundation for electronics performance testing and malfunction diagnosis.

How to prepare: Take a practical electronics course that combines schematic reading with test-equipment setup and component fault diagnosis.

What the civilian work involves
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
  • Read blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, or engineering instructions for assembling electronics units, applying knowledge of electronic theory and components.

Notes & Sources

  • Verified duties cover basic preventive maintenance and assistance with fault correction; they do not establish component-level repair or electronics design experience.
