This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to inspect, test and troubleshoot faults with radar systems and components in an environment away from a maintenance facility and in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

Typically, the individual is required to work autonomously, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.

This unit covers the competency required to inspect, test and troubleshoot faults with radar systems and components in an environment away from a maintenance facility.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Not applicable.

This unit contains employability skills.

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to work autonomously and to refer problems on to appropriate outside agencies as necessary. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over a range of radar maintenance scenarios that could be expected in the workplace.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed on operations or in a simulated operational environment. Specific resources for assessment Access to a radar, ancillary equipment and maintenance documentation.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

apply analytical skills perform radar drills and procedures

Required Knowledge

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.
Standard procedures may include:	Australian Standards job guides, pamphlets and other publications manufacturers' handbooks, industry specifications and technical instructions work health and safety (WHS) regulations organisational policies and procedures relevant local government by-laws relevant state/territory or federal legislation Verbal or written orders and job instructions
Outside agencies may include:	referral to an authorised specialist at one of the following levels: base or depot field intermediate
Documentation and records may include:	equipment serviceability documentation key information relevant to fault diagnosis for referral to outside agencies

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
