The scope of the SaaMS Pilot encompasses turnkey, end-to-end managed subscription services. These services will facilitate connectivity to commercial teleports and internet services, augmenting units’ SATCOM capability across five diverse locations within three combatant commands: NORTHCOM, EUCOM, and USINDOPACOM.
The SaaMS Pilot emphasizes the provisioning of services with guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), including service availability and committed information rates across service areas. These services will be supported by a 24×7 global Network Operations and Security Center (NOSC), equipped with SES Space & Defense’s flagship Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Portal, ensuring network visibility and situational awareness for U.S. Army customers.
“The SaaMS Pilot program is a great opportunity for SES Space & Defense to continue to support our Army customers leveraging a true multi-orbit strategy and multi-band satellite fleet,” said SES Space & Defense President & CEO David Fields. “This initiative will further advance the SaaMS service model, enabling the U.S. Army to seamlessly acquire industry equipment and bandwidth to carry out mission success with the integration of new technology.”
