Giant Voice Projects at

Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall

“Rev. 1, 12 August 2025”

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Mission: The primary mission of the Communications Squadron (CS) at RAF Mildenhall is to provide reliable, secure, and integrated communications and information technology (IT) infrastructure to support the base's operations, including the Command Post's Command and Control (C2) functions. This requirement directly relates to our mission by enhancing critical communication systems, such as the Giant Voice system, which are essential for emergency response and operational support. We expect the contractor to deliver a fully functional and integrated

Giant Voice system upgrade that ensures clear communication across areas stated in the work order, and meets safety and performance standards.

1.2 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to design, install, and integrate an upgraded giant voice system.
