The U.S. Navy employs geostationary and medium
earth orbit satellite communications in support of global training
event
SES Government Solutions (SES GS) supported Task Force 59 and US
Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) communications requirements
for the International Maritime Exercise (IMX) and Cutlass Express
2022. IMX is the largest multinational training event in the Middle
East, involving more than 60 nations and international
organizations committed to enhancing partnerships and
interoperability to strengthen maritime security and stability.
At IMX, SES GS provided a resilient, redundant, integrated
transport layer via satellite that seamlessly interconnected US and
Partner Nation afloat Mission Operations Centers (MOCs), the TF-59
Headquarters Robotic Operations Center (ROC), multiple Unmanned
Surface Vehicles (USV), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems.
The ROC was manned by several coalition navy personnel who were
able to have full situational awareness throughout the exercise
through Full Motion Video (FMV), Electro-Optical (EO), and Forward
Looking Infrared (FLIR) images, complemented by numerous other
sensor data packages.
This was only possible because the SES GS solution comprised a
fully managed end-to-end network using the latest in afloat Medium
Earth Orbit (MEO) capable stabilized SATCOM, including terminals
from our partners General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) and
GetSAT. The combination of SES GS’ high throughput and low-latency
satellite network as well as its terrestrial network enabled TF-59
to present unprecedented real-time sensor data to the international
partners in the ROC in a “single-pane-of-glass” format. This
greatly enhanced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics
products employed by TF-59 across the multiple operational areas
and provided significantly enhanced situational awareness as TF-59
moves towards its goal of a digital ocean operating posture.
SES GS is the only satellite operator with operational
experience delivering multi-orbit, multi-band managed SATCOM
services to the Department of Defense (DoD) and coalition forces.
It provides the critical elements to meet the DoD’s Fighting SATCOM
posture and deliver assured communications in a contested
environment.
“We greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue supporting
the US Navy and its forward-deployed commands with advanced SATCOM
at geostationary and medium earth orbits,” said Pete Hoene,
President and CEO of SES Government Solutions. “This exercise is a
great example how we enable the Navy and others to improve on their
information sharing and maritime awareness requirements while
leveraging multi-orbit constellations.”
