Aircraft Armament Systems Specialty AFSC 462X0

This is a report of an occupational survey of the Aircraft Armament Systems AFS 462X0 specialty, completed by the Occupational Analysis Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center in June 1980. The survey was initiated as a result of a Training and Utilization Conference in September 1979. Since the last Occupational Survey Report OSR was written in 1976, utilization of the 462XO resource has changed due to the introduction of the Production Oriented Maintenance Organization POMO concept in tactical air forces TAF. Therefore, possible job structure and task performance changes were studied. Also, new weapons systems have been developed and training at the technical school was channelized by aircraft, beginning in January 1979 with class 790102. Thus, the feasibility of the shredout system as well as the adequacy of channelized training became concerns of the present report.
