SUMMARY OF THE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN TRAINING SERIES

This series of training manuals was developed to replace the Electronics Technician 3 & 2 TRAMAN. The content is directed to personnel working toward advancement to Electronics Technician Second Class.

The nine volumes in the series are based on major topic areas with which the ET2 should be familiar. Volume 1, Safety, provides an introduction to general safety as it relates to the ET rating. It also provides both general and specific information on electronic tag-out procedures, man-aloft procedures, hazardous materials (i.e., solvents, batteries, and vacuum tubes), and radiation hazards. Volume 2, Administration, discusses COSAL updates, 3-M documentation, supply paperwork, and other associated administrative topics. Volume 3, Communication Systems, provides a basic introduction to shipboard and shore-based communication systems. Systems covered include man-pat radios (i.e., PRC-104, PSC-3) in the hf, vhf, uhf, SATCOM, and shf ranges. Also provided is an introduction to the Communications Link Interoperability System (CLIPS). Volume 4, Radar Systems, is a basic introduction to air search, surface search, ground controlled approach, and carrier controlled approach radar systems. Volume 5, Navigation Systems, is a basic introduction to navigation systems, such as OMEGA, SATNAV, TACAN, and man-pat systems. Volume 6, Digital Data Systems, is a basic introduction to digital data systems and includes discussions about SNAP II, laptop computers, and desktop computers. Volume 7, Antennas and Wave Propagation, is an introduction to wave propagation, as it pertains to Electronics Technicians, and shipboard and shore-based antennas. Volume 8, Support Systems, discusses system interlaces, troubleshooting, sub-systems, dry air, cooling, and power systems. Volume 9, Electro-Optics, is an introduction to night vision equipment, lasers, thermal imaging, and fiber optics.
