CIC Flashcards
Primary mission of CIC:
Gather
Process
Display
Evaluate
Disseminate
Gather
The organized collection of data from all sensors.
Process
Converting gathered data into useful information for problem solving.
Display
Utilizing the consoles, ASTABS, monitors and status boards.
Evaluate
Determining factors of information and usage to ship or group.
Disseminate
Pushing out information and tasking to all who needs or requires it.
Secondary mission of CIC:
Control and assist. Examples are navigation, SAR, and MOB
Missile Managers (MM):
Casualty control and powers up, aligns and launches missiles.
Engagement Planners (EP):
Plans missions and creates routes for missile to fly.
Global Command and Control System Maritime (GCCS-M):
Maintains non-real time common operational picture. Also used during strike scenarios to check that EP’s flight plan and over flight plan is with in parameters. We have Version 4.1 Group Level onboard.
Surface Warfare Supervisor (SWS)
Tracks, identifies surface contacts. Also determines closest point of approach of surface contacts.
Surface Warfare Coordinator (SUWC):
Overall responsible for surface tactical picture. Makes navigational recommendations to the bridge Communicates with Surface combatant commander (Z). Has the capability to engage surface tracks when necessary.
Gun Fire Control System (GFCS):
Shoots 5in/MK 45 MOD 4 Light Weight Gun Mount.
Optical Sighting System (OSS):
Primary use is battle damage assessment (BDA). Also used to ID contacts.
Computer Aided Dead Reckoning Tracer (CADRT):
Used for ASW, NGFS, MOB, and SAR.
Underwater Battery (UB)
Can shoot torpedoes from consoles (MK46 and MK 54). Assists ASWE by using Target Motion Analysis (TMA). Can get an estimate of a submarines course and speed based off of the frequencies produced by that particular sub.
Anti-Subsurface Warfare Coordinator (ASWC):
Watch station manned up during condition IIAS. Responsible for helping CIC track submarine. Subsurface warfare commander (X).
Anti-Surface/Subsurface Tactical Air Controller (ASTAC):
Controls rotary winged aircraft and P-3/P-8 for both surface and subsurface missions. Responsible for safety of aircraft and crew. ASTAC missions are ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare), SSC (Surface Surveillance Coordination), SAR (Search and Rescue), and NGFS (Naval Gun Fire Support). ASTACs onboard are OS2 Batres and OS2 Gillispie..
Air Intercept Controller (AIC):
Control fixed wing aircraft on fighter air defense nets (FAD). AIC missions are Self Escort Strike (SES), Permissive Fighter Tactics (PFT), and Non-permissive Fighter Tactics (NFT). AICs onboard are OSC (SW/AW) Rivera, OS2 Jackson.
Anti-Air Warfare Coordinator (AAWC):
Overall in charge for tactical air picture. RSC, IDS, TIC and EWS watch stations work for AAWC to identify air contacts via check print. Has the capability to engage air tracks. Air warfare commander (W).
Remote Control Station (RCS):
Shoots CIWS (MK 15 MOD 1 Baseline 1) Close in Weapons System (MT 22).
Missile System Supervisor (MSS):
Shines the illuminators on hostile tracks. Controls vent dampers and VLS. There are 3 illuminators onboard. 2 back AFT above CIWS on the stacks and 1 FWD above the bridge
Radar System Controller (RSC):
Monitors primary air search radar (SPY). SPY has 4 arrays. Max altitude 120,000ft, max search range 256nm and max tracking range 512nm. Minimum range of 1.6nm.
Identification Supervisor (IDS)
Identifies and tracks air contacts. Determines a contacts identity using modes and codes. Issues Hails/Queries/Warnings to air contacts when applicable.
Mode 1:
Mission.
Mode 2:
Unit identification.
Mode 3:
Civilian aircraft
Mode C:
Altitude.
