The range of support includes voice, video and data communications, engineering, local network administration, IT security, help-desk services and database administration.

It specializes in management, operation and maintenance of customer facilities, equipment and systems; logistics and life-cycle support; overhaul and repair depot operations; engineering, logistics and personnel support; space and Earth sciences; test and training range support; and privatization of government services.
