Decorative front cover. iv, 375, [1] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Reading List. Twenty numbered chapters. Appendix I: Training Film List; II: Glossary of guided missile terms; III Symbols: electrical, electronic, and piping; Qualifications for advancement in rating. Index. This edition supersedes Guided Missileman 3 & 2, NavPers 10153. The chapters are: The Missile Technician rating; Introduction to guided missiles, Propulsion plants and launchers, Missile aerodynamics, Auxiliary power supply systems, Introduction to missile guidance, Principles of missile guidance, Radar principles and components, Preset guidance and inertial guidance, Command guidance methods, Beam-rider guidance methods, Homing, celestial, and terrestrial guidance methods, Hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic control systems, Missile handling and testing, Maintenance and repair procedures, Telemetering, Records and reports, procurement of equipment, Safety precautions, Missiles of the Navy, and Nuclear reactions and nuclear weapons. Originally established as the Guided Missileman rating in 1953, it was not until 1961 that the rating took its name of present day, Missile Technician. The Navy's computerized personnel system associates the rating name with an alphanumeric Navy Occupational Specialty (NOS) code. For MT, the NOS is C180. Missile Technicians (Submarines) receive extensive training in the operation and maintenance of advanced electronic equipment and computers and electromechanical support systems used in submarine strategic weapons systems. Responsible for the assembly, maintenance and repair of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles carried on submarines and their associated advanced electronics and electromechanical navigation and targeting systems, MTs are a vital element in the maintenance of strategic deterrence so vital to the security of the United States. After completion of approximately seven weeks of Basic Submarine and Basic Mechanical Skills schools in Groton, Connecticut, those attending Missile Technician class "A" school will complete five weeks of instruction in Kings Bay, Georgia, then they will attend approximately 23 weeks of class "C" school, also at Kings Bay, Georgia or in Bangor, Washington. Members that will be assigned to the SSGN platform will then proceed to Kings Bay, GA for five weeks of AWS Replacement (advanced electronics & electricity, mechanical systems and repair on Tomahawk missiles and launching systems). Missile Technician (NOS C180) The duties, technical and manual, performed by Missile Technicians include maintaining ballistic missiles and their launching systems, and maintaining related launching systems including high-pressure air and hydraulic systems. MTs operate and maintain digital computers, and maintain operating efficiency of electrical distribution panels, switches, switchboards, controllers, voltage regulators, current transformers, rectifiers and voltage transformers within the fleet ballistic missile weapons systems. They test and repair ballistic guidance systems, and operate, maintain and adjust optical measuring equipment, test, align and adjust missiles and components, and repair missiles and related components. MTs test, align, adjust, calibrate and repair support handling equipment, stow missiles and components, maintain logs and prepare reports. They provide security in missile launch spaces aboard submarines. MTs maintain and operate ballistic missile fire control systems and equipment for Trident submarines. They maintain control of classified material, and monitor and ensure security of weapons system components and material. Condition: Good.
