Overview

An AGFCS MK 86 MOD 9 Systems Technician performs organizational level preventive and corrective maintenance on the MK 86 Gun Fire Control System aboard Ticonderoga class ships. The technician analyzes casualties, isolates faults, tests and repairs equipment and interfaces, and operates consoles during tactical situations, tests, and evaluations.

Core Skills

  • Subsystem and interface fault isolation
  • Circuit diagram interpretation for equipment repair
  • Equipment testing and subsystem alignment
  • Console operation during test and evaluation

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

MK 86 preventive maintenance, fault isolation, and equipment repair transfer directly to diagnosing and maintaining commercial and industrial electronics.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on industrial electronics troubleshooting lab focused on diagnosing faults in unfamiliar equipment from circuit diagrams.

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
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Testing and aligning MK 86 equipment, subsystems, and interfaces using circuit diagrams provides a foundation for electronics test and engineering-support work.

How to prepare: Build a non-sensitive bench-test work sample showing a schematic, test setup, measured results, and the steps used to isolate a fault.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • 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.
