Automatic Tracking Radar Specialty AFS-303X3. Volume IV.
Abstract
This is a report of an occupational survey of the Automatic Tracking Radar (AFS 303X3) specialty, completed by the Occupational Analysis Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center, in February 1981. The survey was initiated at the request of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel Center Classification Branch (AFMPC/MPCRPQ) in order to determine the feasibility of merging three radar maintenance specialties (AFSs 303X1, 303X2, and 303X3) into a commmon specialty. In order to properly address this issue, the personnel in all three specialties were surveyed using a common job inventory. The feasibility of merging the three specialties and other types of analyses across the three career ladders is presented in a combined report (AFPT 90-303-400, Volume I). This report concentrates primarily on the results relating to the Automatic Tracking Radar (AFS 303X3) specialty. Detailed results of the Air Traffic Control Radar (AFS 303X1) and Aircraft Control and Warning Radar (AFS 303X2) specialties are provided in two separate reports (AFPT 90-303-400, Volumes II and III). As outlined in the current AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions, Automatic Tracking Radar personnel are responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing automatic tracking systems, acquisition systems, related electronic warfare equipment, and associated identification equipment. These personnel are also responsible for operating automatic tracking systems during radar bomb scoring and ground directed bombing operations.
