  • Multi-mission signal processor and transmitter maintenance
  • Fault isolation using operational readiness tests
  • Radar controller operation in tactical and test modes

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

Preventive and corrective maintenance of radar processors, transmitters, and associated equipment transfers directly to electronic equipment diagnosis, testing, and repair.

How to prepare: Practice diagnosing a commercial electronic unit using its service documentation, recording the fault-isolation steps and post-repair test 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

Radio, Cellular, and Tower Equipment Installers and Repairers

Maintenance, testing, and alignment of radar transmitters and antenna equipment provide a foundation for work on radio transmission components.

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

What the civilian work involves
  • 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).
  • Read work orders, blueprints, plans, datasheets or site drawings to determine work to be done.
