Operate a sonar system
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit was developed for Combat Systems Operators working within Defence but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Sonar systems are operated in a wide variety of environments and conditions. Typically operators work independently and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, 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 operate a sonar system as part of a team and under supervision.
It includes the requirement to configure the system, build and maintain the continuous collection, collation and analysis of information to track existing contacts or identify new contacts.
This activity could continue for a prolonged period requiring the operator to hand over effectively to another operator.
