The job
ICT Technicians are responsible for maintaining and repairing a wide range of complex systems, including long-range search radar, aircraft mission and ground support systems, airfield navigation aids and local area networks. Each of these systems plays a vital part in processing and communicating the information needed to support effective air operations on a global scale.
As an ICT Technician, you could find yourself working on an airfield, in an underground bunker, or in an office or workshop. Latest generation aircraft are as reliant on information flow as they are on fuel – and it could be your job to set up, operate and maintain the mission and ground support systems that enable an aircraft to complete its mission.
