774 - AIRBORNE RADAR TECHNICIAN (DesignatediEquipment)
[AIRBORNE RADAR TECH (***)]
Installs, adjusts, maintains, repairs, and overhauls airborne radar equipment.
Disassembles, repairs, aligns, and calibrates equipment, diagnosing malfunctioning of parts and effecting necessary repairs and replacements. May repair and maintain airborne radio equipment. Must be thoroughly familiar with the technical principles of radar, and with the procedures for operating the equipment. Note—The radar sets indicated below are suggestive of the equipment in use, but are not all-inclusive.
Radar technicians trained in a particular type of equipment can with a minimum of difficulty qualify to service new or modified sets of the same type. Typical sets are: Airborne radar identification equipment, such as sets ABK, APX-1, APX-2. Airborne radar navigation equipment such as sets A YD, APN-1, APN-4. Airborne radio equipment; high frequency sets such as GO-9, ARB, RAX, AN/ART-13, SCR-269F/G, and very high frequency sets such as AN/ARC-1, AN/ARC-4, AN/ARC-5, SCR-522.
Airborne radar search equipment, such as sets ASE, ASB, AN/APS-2, AN/APS-3, AN/APS-4, AN/APS-15. Airborne radar bombing equipment, such as sets AN/APQ-5, AN/APA-16, AN/APG-4. Airborne radar intercept equipment, such as sets APS-6/6A, SCR-720, APS-19.
After the SSN, enter one or more of the code letters from the list below, and in the parenthesis after the title, enter the names of the sets which the Marine is qualified to repair.
A—Airborne radar technicians who have graduated from NATTC, Ward Island, Corpus Christi, Texas, having learned all types of radar equipment, will be given this code letter until their duty assignments warrant a more proper classification under one of the code letters listed below, at which time that code letter will become primary and will be followed by the code letter "A". If the man is more properly classified with two of the code letters below, the "A" will become the third code letter. For example, a Corpus Christi graduate is a 774A. Upon assignment to PBJ aircraft, he becomes a 774GA. At a later date he is assigned to SB2C aircraft and is classified as 774EGA.
B—Airborne radar identification equipment and airborne radar navigation equipment.
D—Airborne radio equipment.
E—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, and airborne radar search equipment.
F—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, airborne radar search equipment, and airborne radio equipment.
G—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, airborne radar search equipment, and airborne radar bombing equipment.
H—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, airborne radar search equipment, airborne radar bombing equipment, and airborne radio equipment.
J—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, airborne radar search equipment, and airborne radar intercept equipment.
K—Airborne radar identification equipment, airborne radar navigation equipment, airborne radar search equipment, airborne radar intercept equipment, and airborne radio equipment.
Y—Airborne radar technicians whose qualifications in radar are limited and who cannot properly be classified under one or more of the above categories.
