V30B AN/SPS-67(V)5 Radar Technician

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 AN/SPS-67(V)5 Radar Technician performs organizational or intermediate level radar maintenance, including power output checks, minimum discernible signal tests, and circuit alignments. The technician recognizes malfunction symptoms, localizes faults, and replaces subassemblies, parts, and components to restore equipment to optimum operating condition.

Core Skills

  • Radar power output and weak-signal testing
  • RF, IF, video and power-supply circuit alignment
  • Symptom-based fault isolation and component replacement

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 troubleshooting and repairing electronic equipment.

How to prepare: Practice documenting a bench repair in a computerized maintenance management system, including the fault, diagnostic tests, replacement parts and verification results.

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.
  • Maintain equipment logs that record performance problems, repairs, calibrations, or tests.
  • 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

Radar power-output checks, minimum discernible signal tests and circuit alignments provide directly relevant experience for electronics performance testing and troubleshooting.

How to prepare: Build a civilian bench-test work sample that records an electronic assembly's test setup, measured performance, fault diagnosis and post-repair results.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • Replace defective components or parts, using hand tools and precision instruments.
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
