Overview

The AN/SPS-67(V)3 Radar Technician performs organizational and/or intermediate level maintenance on radar equipment. The technician checks power output, minimum discernible signals, and standing wave ratio, inspects waveguides and transmission lines, aligns amplifier circuits, diagnoses symptoms, and replaces faulty components and parts.

Core Skills

  • Radar power and minimum discernible signal testing
  • Standing wave ratio measurement and fault isolation
  • Waveguide and transmission line fault location
  • RF, IF, and video amplifier alignment

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

Radar malfunction diagnosis, circuit alignment, and faulty-component replacement transfer directly to electronic equipment testing and repair.

How to prepare: Build a troubleshooting work sample documenting symptom diagnosis, component replacement, and post-repair performance testing on a civilian electronic unit.

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.
  • Inspect components of industrial equipment for accurate assembly and installation or for defects, such as loose connections or frayed wires.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software

Radio, Cellular, and Tower Equipment Installers and Repairers

Standing wave ratio checks, radar power testing, and transmission line fault location provide a foundation for testing radio transmission equipment.

How to prepare: Complete hands-on practice in transmission-line sweep testing and antenna connector installation to bridge radar maintenance experience to radio-site equipment work.

What the civilian work involves
  • Run appropriate power, ground, or coaxial cables.
  • Test operation of tower transmission components, using sweep testing tools or software.
  • Install all necessary transmission equipment components, including antennas or antenna mounts, surge arrestors, transmission lines, connectors, or tower-mounted amplifiers (TMAs).
