Evolving Surveillance and Response Group s role in supporting Navy in the extended battlespace GPCAPT David Hombsch, COS SRG
The SRG Mission (revised 2016) To sustain and enhance multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, strike, control of the air, and airspace management and control capabilities, across the full spectrum of operations, in support of Australia s national interests.
To Sustain and Enhance SRG role is Raise, Train and Sustain. Routinely force assigned to CJOPS for operations. 24/7, 365 days Capability through: Equipment People Innovation

SRG Vision SRG will deliver decisive operational capability to the 5th generation warfighter through comprehensive intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance, and superior multi-domain common picture compilation and fusion, in order to enable decision superiority for the precise execution of kinetic and non-kinetic effects, while preserving the security and safety of our sea and air lines of communication domestically and abroad. SRG will remain continuously prepared to defend Australia and our national interests on behalf of the Australian Defence Force, the Government of Australia and its people.
