Overview

An AN/SSC-13 Shipboard Air Traffic Control Communications Technician performs planned and corrective organizational-level maintenance on the air traffic control digital communication switching system. The technician monitors computer diagnostics, uses general-purpose and built-in test equipment to isolate faults, replaces components at the lowest repairable unit level, and checks connectivity with radios and shipboard communication interfaces.

Core Skills

  • Built-in diagnostics and electronic fault isolation
  • Circuit card and modular assembly replacement
  • ISDN telephone and shipboard voice interface testing
  • UHF/VHF transceiver and multi-coupler 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

Maintaining digital communications switches, configuring user features, and checking telephone and radio interfaces directly support telecommunications equipment troubleshooting and testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on telecommunications switching lab that includes configuring user features, isolating a circuit fault, and verifying service after repair.

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.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Cisco IOS

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Using general-purpose and built-in test equipment to isolate faults and replace circuit cards transfers directly to electronics test and repair work.

How to prepare: Prepare a sanitized troubleshooting work sample showing diagnostic readings, fault isolation, module replacement, and post-repair verification for an electronic assembly.

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.
