It's command and control capabilities are supported by communications & antennas devices, as:
- 1 x Selex ES TSN101/X, SHF Naval Satellite Terminal
- 2 x Selex ES SHF Naval Satellite Terminal TN
- 1 x Selex ES tri-band satellite antenna
- 2 x SITEPItalia UHF Milsatcom OE-187(V) System
- 1 x SITEPItalia Automatic VSAT Tracking System (CommSat)

The ship was deployed to East Timor as part of the Australian-led INTERFET peacekeeping taskforce from 26 October 1999 to 15 February 2000.[2]
