At the recent SGIS Technical Concentration (TC) the tasks focused on the evolution of tactical military communication systems. Specialist Reservists worked on enhancing capabilites for combat net radio, wide area networking and satellite communications. A separate task saw the unit's expertise deployed on a joint task with Royal Air Force (RAF) Force Digital Reserves. Personnel worked on the Agile Combat Employment (ACE) concept, which is both a proactive and reactive scheme of manoeuvre for RAF assets and resources. SGIS looked at communications platforms for Air Component Commanders to use for effective command and control. Another area focus for soldiers and officers on the TC was the digitisation of internal processes, which will transform the way business is done.
