Earlier this year seven Singaporean and Thai Air Force military personnel with various levels of electronic warfare experience and background, attended a training course to supplement and update their knowledge run by MASS in Lincoln, in the United Kingdom.

MASS provides specialist electronic warfare operational support (EWOS), cyber security, secure ICT networks, digital forensics and more to military forces. It has considerable experience of training foreign and domestic armed forces in all aspects of air, land and maritime EW providing a mix of operational and technical instruction, founded on UK military and scientific experience.

The delegate personnel from the air forces of Singapore and Thailand comprised military personnel of various ranks, as well as government-employed scientists and engineers. Reflecting this mix, the course instructors also had ex-military, scientific and engineering backgrounds.
