COMBAT SYSTEM OPERATIONAL SEQUENCING SYSTEM (CSOSS) The Combat System Operational Sequencing System (CSOSS) is a collection of manuals specifically designed for each class of ship. The manuals include step-by-step procedures and supporting material for combat system personnel to use in supporting the operation and maintenance of combat system equipment. Combat system readiness fundamentals are provided in the Combat System Technical Operations Manual (CSTOM). The CSOSS and CSTOM manuals cover a wide spectrum of readiness fundamentals for each class of ship. Joint instruction COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4790.20/ COMNAVSURFPACINST 4790.9 (series) provides directions to commanding officers for use of CSOSS. CSOSS is a readiness tool that provides the means to manage combat systems readiness around-the-clock, at-sea and in-port, in peacetime and in wartime. Consult your specific CSOSS User's Guide for detailed instructions and explanations concerning the requirements of your ship class and related equipment. Your ship's Combat Systems Officer of the Watch (CSOOW) and chain-of-command will help you find specific information about these manuals and CSOSS instructions. Many other useful publications are available throughout the fleet. However, because of their vast number, we can describe only a few of them. You can identify many of these additional publications by checking the bibliographies of your primary publications. Electromagnetic Radiation Hazards Electromagnetic Radiation Hazards, NAVSEA OP 3565, is a two-volume manual that prescribes operating procedures and precautions to prevent injury to personnel, ignition of volatile vapors, and premature initiation of electroexplosive devices in ordnance in electromagnetic environments. Volume I is Hazards to Personnel, Fuel, and Other Flammable Material. Volume 11 is divided into two parts: Part I-Hazards to Unclassified Ordnance Systems, and Part II-Hazards to Classified Ordnance Systems. Volume I and Volume 11, Part I are unclassified. All classified data is contained in Volume II, Part II. Procedures for Conducting a Shipboard Electromagnetic Interference Survey (Surface Ships) The Procedures for Conducting a Shipboard Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Survey (Surface Ships), MILSTD 1605 (SHIPS), provides detailed procedures for conducting an electromagnetic interference survey aboard surface ships. Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) is a multi-modular set of manuals that contain a vast amount of information. The current modules are shown in table 2-1. The NEETS modules are high-quality training aids and are excellent review publications on basic electronics for all Fire Controlmen. ALL Fire Controlmen should be thoroughly familiar with the NEETS modules. Equipment Identification Code Master Index Utorrent free download for windows 10 classic. The Equipment Identification Code Master Index, NAMSO 4790.E2579, provides a listing of equipment identification codes (EICs) in two sections. Section I lists EIC numbers in numerical sequence and identifies the equipment nomenclature assigned to each EIC number. Section II lists nomenclature in alphanumerical sequence and identifies the EIC numbers assigned to the equipment. Guide for User Maintenance of NAVSEA Technical Manuals The Guide for User Maintenance of NAVSEA Technical Manuals, NAVSEA S0005-AA-GYD- 030, is an important part of the technical library, because keeping the technical manuals aboard your ship up to date is essential to the operational readiness of your command's systems and equipment. Electrostatic Discharge Control Handbook for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies, and Equipment The Electrostatic Discharge Control Handbook for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies, and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices) (Metric), MIL-HDBK 263, provides guidance, not requirements, for establishing and implementing an electrostatic Table 2-1.-NEETS Modules discharge (ESD) control program. This follows the requirements of Electrostatic Discharge Control Program for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies, and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices (Metric), MIL-STD-1686. While this publication does not provide information on protecting electrically initiated explosive devices, it does apply to protecting electrical and electronic parts, assemblies, and equipment from damage due to ESD. Q5. What is the Publication Applicability Listing (PAL)? Q6. What joint instruction gives guidance for use of the CSOSS? Q7. Which section of the Equipment Identification Code Master Index, NAMSO 4790.E2579, lists EIC numbers in numerical sequence and identifies the equipment nonmenclature assigned to each EIC number? SUMMARY The Maintenance Data System (MDS) and its many components are an extremely important tool in tracking your equipment's performance. The accurate and timely reporting of deferred maintenance or configuration changes will result in better parts support and equipment readiness. The Planned Maintenance System (PMS) works with the MDS to ensure that your equipment is fully operational. The MDS forms are processed and maintenance actions tracked through the Ship's Non-tactical Automated Data Processing program (SNAP). This computer-based system enables ship's personnel to order parts or fill out MDS forms on a computer screen. Check with your command to find out what version you are using and where you can get training for SNAP. Your ship's technical library is an important resource for you as an FC. Many technical publications are no longer distributed in a printed format but are distributed on compact disks. Check with your supply department and chain of command to find out how to order these publications, whether in a paper or compact disk format. One of the more important resources to become familiar with as an FC is the Combat System Operational Sequencing System (CSOSS). Each class of ship has its own collection of manuals specifically configured to the CSOSS. You need to become familiar with your command's CSOSS publications and the training offered for your CSOSS program. The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) is still an excellent resource for reviewing your basic electronics. It is being updated to a compact disk format and is also available on an Internet web site. There are many other good technical resources for FC's that are not mentioned here. Make it a habit to look for other resources that can help you perform your job better. ANSWERS TO CHAPTER QUESTIONS Al.

NAVSEA, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander Pacific Fleet have always worked to optimize the PMS and reduce burdensome processes upon sailors. Improvements such as Fleet Maintenance Effectiveness Review (FLEETMER) and SKED have been highly successful. In the late ‘90s, the Maintenance Effectiveness Review process was developed and used to review the PMS deck. These technical reviews helped to reduce unnecessary O-Level PMS procedures by 30% and ensured that required maintenance Sailors were performing was applicable and effective. Today’s FLEETMER process includes a review of the entire maintenance plan. Other initiatives included SKED which received positive feedback from the Fleet. More on that in a bit.
In the past year, NAVSEA and the Fleets kicked off a multi-year project to modernize and improve the PMS program. It’s called the Future of PMS (FoPMS) and its ultimate goal is to form a cohesive PMS program that leverages automation and process streamlining to reduce administrative burden and support sailors in effectively maintaining the Fleet. This modernized system is an evolution of existing programs that will transform PMS from a paper based system to digitally-enabled with enhanced workflows, data reporting and near real-time distribution of technical requirements. A brighter future is ahead for Navy PMS but it is important to look at those programs that came before and are setting the foundation for FoPMS.
SKED, the Navy’s PMS scheduling software was born in the late ‘90s when personal computers began to be outfitted on ships. The earliest versions were a bit clunky to use but did alleviate some of the paper work. As SKED was refined, version 3.1 became mandatory to use across the Fleet in 2004. SKED 3.2, introduced in 2008, was developed and deployed to provide a modern configuration centric process. Recent updates to SKED include Leadership dashboards, equipment based schedules, true interval scheduling, situational maintenance scheduling improvements and electronic lineouts, approvals and workflows. Future versions of SKED will continue to improve with features like custom views and reports, flexible PMS checks, accomplishment rating enhancements, and managing Advance Change Notices within SKED. Improvements for distributed commands such as LCS and NECC are also in the works.
Another toolset whose data will be incorporated into FoPMS is the Tailored Force Revision (TFR). Deployed in 2010, TFR Packages reduce the administrative burden of implementing PMS changes by performing up to 70% of the work ashore before being sent to the ship. It’s an enhanced Force Revision (FR) package tailored to each Work Center Supervisor (WCS). The Tailored Force Revision has pre-processed FR data that a WCS can import into SKED. It also shows document/schedule changes and flags inconsistent items for review. TFR Packages are currently for surface ships only, but will be made for Air and Sub communities in 2018.
PMS Change Indicators and PMS Templates have been developed as a result of Tailored Force Revisions. Both will be assimilated into FoPMS. PMS Change Indicators appeared in 2013 and are used to highlight changes on MIP and MRC documents since the last FR, thus eliminating the need to print and manually compare old documents with new documents. PMS Templates will simplify MIPs by grouping MRCs to one kind of equipment or system essentially building equipment maintenance plans from shore and reducing lineouts. PMS Templates are the foundation for tying requirements to configuration. Pilot tests are occurring in 2015 starting with DDGs with a plan to distribute to the entire surface fleet in 2016.
One of the major goals for the FoPMS is Configuration-Based Maintenance. Right now, Work Center Supervisors have to sort through MIPs to line out procedures on equipment that do not apply to them. Started in 2012, the Configuration-based maintenance project breaks complex PMS documents into equipment-specific versions and eliminates the need for MIP and MRC procedure step line-outs and pen and ink lineouts. Configuration specific PMS documents are gradually being implemented and delivered to the Fleet with each FR.
All of these programs lead to the future, The Future of PMS. FoPMS is a modernization but also an evolution of the Navy’s Planned Maintenance System. It takes the best ideas and concepts from the past and melds them with new ideas and technologies. For example, FoPMS will see a modernization of SKED. Configuration based O-level Maintenance Plans will be provided from ashore with maintenance schedules that allow the Work Center Supervisor to easily assign resources and dates. SKED in the “future” will also provide optimal work load balancing tools, 3M Inspection tools and the ability to consume the collection of material condition data.
Also, to truly modernize Navy PMS, it is necessary to take the current paper based system and digitize it. Right now, sailors read instructions off of 8” X 11” paper. With FoPMS, procedures will have the ability to be read on mobile devices like tablets. In order to make the most of these mobile tools, the modernized system will have enhanced PMS Data Content and features with near real time updates to keep procedures current and eliminate the need to make pen and ink changes. Not only will their procedures be the most current but they will support point of performance tools like videos that demonstrate exactly how a maintenance step is done.

Updating policy is key to the Future of PMS project. In 2014, two important entities were created to evaluate and approve policy changes that will shape FoPMS: the U.S. Fleet Forces Command 3-M Requirements Management Board (RMB) and NAVSEA’s 3-M Configuration Control Board (CCB). Basically, the RMB will identify and recommend policy changes to the CCB who will then review and approve changes. This establishes a governing body for the Future of PMS and benefits sailors a number of ways:
- Policy changes are made more quickly
- All 3M policy will be standardized and aligned
- Administrative burdens such as printing requirements are reduced
- Communication with sailors is increased

The Future of PMS is real. However, it couldn’t happen without the programs that came before it and the current initiatives that are building towards its creation. It is a six year mission in progress and it won’t stop until all the goals are accomplished. Of course, fifty years of Navy PMS couldn’t have happened without the guidance, hard work and input from the many men and women who served.
This holds true today. As we look towards the modernization of PMS, we want to hear from the many sailors whose opinions are so vital. While this was just a quick look at the Future of PMS, more information can be found at a devoted PMS milSuite site where you can see updates, videos and provide your thoughts. Just go to https://www.milsuite.mil and search Reinvigorating Shipboard PMS. You can also email your ideas to pms@navy.mil. Your perspective will keep the Future of PMS headed in the right direction.
