AWO breaks down into two different roles: Acoustic Operators and Non-Acoustic/Electronic Warfare Operators... also known as Sensor Station 1 (SS1) and Sensor Station 3 (SS3) respectively. SS1's are trained in advanced oceanography, sound propagation, and acoustic analysis and conduct anti-submarine warfare... SS3's are trained to operate radar and electronic support measures and conduct safety of flight/weather avoidance and analyze radar signatures from friendly and non-friendly targets... they also operate the magnetic anomaly detector on P-3's. Both perform a number of other duties depending on type of aircraft and squadron... but that's not for internet discussion.
