Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Enable torpedo fire control system
   • Confirm serviceability of torpedo fire control system and recognise and report any faults to supervisor.
   • Insert weapon parameters into torpedo fire control system in accordance with current threat parameters and ship manoeuvring.
   • Establish external and internal communications.
2. Establish and update torpedo fire control system information
   • Collect information using sonar and other sensors.
   • Collect, collate and analyse information and input most up-to-date information into the torpedo fire control system.
   • Update parameters and report to command.
   • Report problems beyond own capability to supervisor.
   • Respond to threats.
3. Finalise operations
   • Transfer torpedo fire control system operation to new operator as required.
   • Cease operation of torpedo fire control system as directed by supervisor.
   • Clean and stow system components.
   • Complete and secure documentation.
