It includes Defence`s information assets, computing networks, business applications and the data that they generate and carry. It includes the communication standards and spectrum required for Battlespace networks. The infrastructure CIOG provides is essential and integral to core Defence functions including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, communications, information warfare, command and management.
