Royal Signals Equipment
The British Army is increasingly an expeditionary force capable of deploying anywhere in the world at short notice. The last few years have seen British Army operational deployments in the Middle East, Afghanistan, the Balkans and numerous African countries, but whatever the mission or the force composition there will always be a requirement for a significant Royal Signals involvement.
The modern battlefield is an extremely complex environment where increasingly large amounts of information must flow without interruption, whilst being protected from exploitation or disruption by a technically advanced enemy. Royal Signals delivers this network enabled capability at the tactical, operational and strategic levels, using a wide variety of high tech systems ranging from data capable digital radios to satellite communication systems. The Corps provides communications and information systems that win the information battle and deliver information superiority throughout the land battlespace for Land, Joint and Multinational commanders and their staffs.
In order to deliver this capability, the communication and information systems used by the Corps are being developed and modernised using lessons learnt on recent operations and harnessing significant technological advances. Existing systems are being enhanced and new and more capable systems are being developed and procured that will transform the way in which the Army delivers its command and control.
These advances in technology and the introduction of complex high-tech systems will bring new challenges, including the requirement to modernise existing trade skills and develop our training; however, new systems will continue to depend upon professional, well-trained soldiers and rely even more heavily upon effectiveleadership and management by Royal Signals officers.
