Benjamin invented the first trackball called roller ball in 1946, patented in 1947. Between 1947 and 1957[citation needed] he developed the first force-wide integrated Command and Control System. This included patenting the use of an interlaced cursor controlled by a tracker ball to link displays to stored digital information, the first ever digital compression of video data, and the creation of the navy’s first digital data link and network which is still in use NATO-wide as "Link 11". During the fifties and sixties he was a Leading member of national Advanced Computer Techniques Project and in 1961 he was Acting International Chairman NATO "Von Karman" studies on "Man and Machine" and "Command and Control".

Posts he held until 1971. Original publications during this time resulted in a DSc and he published a textbook on "Modulation, Resolution and Signal processing" that was later unofficially translated into Russian. He also trained as a navy diver in order to better understand some of the challenges faced by the Royal Navy.In 1971 he became Chief Scientist, Chief Engineer and Superintending Director at GCHQ where he stayed until 1982. He was responsible for fast-track Research, Development, Procurement, and Deployment and use of equipment and techniques for Signals Intelligence.

As a visiting Professor at the University of Surrey between 1972 and 78 he helped to start the Surrey University mini-satellite programme.Following retirement from the civil service he became Head of Communications Techniques & Networks at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) Technical Centre from 1982 to 1987.

Until recently he was also a visiting Professor at Imperial College, the Open University, and the Royal Military College of Science, and Member of Court at Brunel University. He also had substantial involvement in Defence Scientific Advisory Council, DSAC. He was given an honorary DEng by Bristol University in 2000. He has won the IET Heinrich Hertz premium twice, and also the Marconi premium and the Clarke Maxwell premium.
