What will you learn?

The degree provides an understanding of the fundamentals of electronics and their application in different communication systems. Students cover content on electrical measurement, circuits, digital techniques, computing and information transmission.

This knowledge serves as a basis for taking part in installation, operation, configuration and maintenance tasks. The specific preparation depends on the rank held and the type of equipment you will work with.

How is the training organized?

The program combines a common section with a guidance section.

The common section brings together general knowledge and scientific and technological fundamentals. The guidance section explores the specialty in greater depth and includes professionalizing practice, where learning is integrated in work-related situations.

The training also promotes responsibility, adaptability and collaboration with other members of the military organization.

The three guidances

Garrison Communications

It corresponds to the Fixed Equipment rank. It focuses on the permanent networks and installations that allow Army organizations to communicate and connect them with external services.

The training covers equipment, physical links and radiofrequency communications, with competencies to assist in their installation, configuration, operation and repair.

Field Communications

It corresponds to the Field Equipment rank. It focuses on communications systems used temporarily and designed to operate in demanding environmental conditions.

It includes telephony equipment, data networks and radio communications. Its profile includes installation, operation and maintenance tasks within the specialty.

Radar Systems
