The satellite solution includes commercial teleports and equipment to maintain COMSATCOM links, combined with a terrestrial-based network for end-to-end connectivity. This ensures consistent communication across teleports and the Global Network Centers (GNC), supporting military readiness and responsiveness worldwide.

 

 

“This award is a significant milestone for SES Space & Defense and reconfirms our commitment to delivering interoperable and secure satellite services to the U.S. Army,” said David Broadbent, President and CEO of SES Space & Defense. “We are proud to continue providing advanced global end-to-end COMSATCOM capabilities giving the U.S. Army a decisive information advantage.”
