Overview

An AN/SSC-12 Shipboard Air Traffic Control Communications Technician performs planned and corrective organizational maintenance on the air traffic control digital communication switching system. The technician monitors diagnostics, isolates faults with test equipment, configures software settings, replaces components, and checks connections with radios, announcing systems, flight deck communications, sound powered circuits, and shipboard telephone systems.

Core Skills

  • Fault isolation with built-in system diagnostics
  • Circuit card and modular assembly replacement
  • Digital and analog telephone interface testing
  • UHF/VHF transceiver and multicoupler troubleshooting

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.

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Digital switching maintenance, ISDN telephone interface checks, and communications fault isolation transfer directly to telecommunications equipment repair and testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on telecommunications equipment lab covering circuit fault isolation and post-repair verification against equipment specifications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
  • Assemble and install communication equipment such as data and telephone communication lines, wiring, switching equipment, wiring frames, power apparatus, computer systems, and networks.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Planned and corrective maintenance using diagnostic tests and circuit-card replacement provides a direct foundation for electronic equipment fault diagnosis and repair.

How to prepare: Practice diagnosing and repairing a commercial electronic assembly, documenting the fault, replacement work, and final functional test.

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.
  • Install repaired equipment in various settings, such as industrial or military establishments.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS
