Digital Warfare Specialist

To get the upper hand in combat you need to have the upper hand in communications. Which is why Digital Warfare Specialists are so essential to Army operations: from establishing, managing and repairing communications networks, to taking the fight to the enemy's ability to communicate, they play a key role in guaranteeing our success. It's exhilarating work - and, with first-class training, valuable qualifications, and access to opportunities you won't find elsewhere, it's incredibly rewarding work, too.

BECOME A BETTER YOU

As a Digital Warfare Specialist, you could be deployed on the frontline, using your expertise to engineer radio systems and satellite communications or working alongside combat teams to intercept enemy communications. You could be handling internet networks and making sure we're online at all times, or you could be installing telephone networks and CCTV systems. It's interesting, varied work - and the specialist skills you learn will set the foundations for a successful future, whether that's in the military or as a civilian.

WORLD-CLASS TRAINING

Basic training will teach you soldier skills, like how to survive outdoors and fire weapons. The training will also develop your fitness before you study to become a specialist at the Royal School of Signals. You'll learn how to become an expert in communication systems and electronic warfare, developing the skills and confidence you need to excel in your role. And, once you finish Phase 2 training, you'll be ready for all the exciting new adventures about to come your way.
