Which of the following actions are performed by the System Maintenance Technician?

• A. Reports to the ECS upon notification of fix-or-fight
• B. Gather and analyze fault indications/ assess problem and impact on the AD mission and system's residual capabilities
• C. Recommend course of action
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The System Maintenance Technician handles faults from detection through decision and communication. When a fix-or-fight notification arrives, reporting to the ECS ensures the issue is logged and the right people are informed to coordinate action. The technician also gathers fault indications and analyzes them to understand what’s failing and how it impacts the air defense mission and the system’s remaining capabilities. With that analysis, they recommend a course of action that best preserves mission readiness, whether that means repair, replacement, or other mitigation. These steps are interconnected: accurate fault data drives the impact assessment, which in turn guides the recommended action and the formal report to ECS. Because this reflects the full workflow a System Maintenance Technician must perform, all of these actions together constitute the role.
