A test technician helps perform key diagnostic and quality tests on their company's products. On an average day, test technicians may respond to error messages, gather data for reports, and perform other routine quality-control tasks, depending on their workplace's needs. Since they often work in a manufacturing setting, some physical labor may be required for installing testing hardware, measuring data, and light product-fabrication work. However, the core of their job is running diagnostic tests and performing routine troubleshooting of system issues. This may require the ability to interpret complex documents such as technical schematics and follow precise instructions well. Test technicians often work in the production of electronic equipment, as well as automotive, defense, and aerospace products. A wide variety of manufacturing jobs may employ a small number of test technicians as well. 2, record 1, English, - test%20technician

After launch, and as the ASCM [anti-ship cruise missile] nears the target, distraction cartridges are fired at ranges up to 4. 5 km to disturb the range and accuracy of the missile's guidance system. However, should the missile have already locked on to the ship in its final attack phase, seduction chaff is deployed to provide point defense and a means sometimes in coordination with other on-board EW [electronic warfare] equipment, to "pull" the seaker away from the ship to the chaff cloud. 2, record 2, English, - seduction%20chaff

First and foremost among these is the need for a Command and Control Subordinate System(CCS2). This will be essential for the control of tactical operations and covers five functional areas : manoeuvre, fire support, air defense, intelligence/electronic warfare, and combat service.... CCS2 in the year 2000 will require rapid information gathering, analysis, decision-making and "shotgun" dissemination in near-real time. 1, record 3, English, - Command%20and%20Control%20Subordinate%20System
