Under the USD 89.6 Million award, SES Space & Defense will provide global commercial Ku-band GEO bandwidth and commercial teleport services to support the U.S. Army
Reston, Va., 4 August 2025 - SES's wholly-owned subsidiary, SES Space & Defense, has been awarded a five-year Sustainment Tactical Network (STN) contract, to provide the U.S. Army with COMSATCOM services. Under the USD 89.6 Million agreement, the initiative will support strategic long-haul network transport and base-support communications for Combat Service Support, Department of Defense (DoD) programs, and additional U.S. Government agencies.
The commercial Ku-band geostationary satellite service delivered by SES Space & Defense with the support of the Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO) will ensure global connectivity for end-users, utilizing commercial teleport and equipment to support the COMSATCOM links. Coupled with the terrestrial-based network linking the entire system, the service ensures cohesive connectivity across teleports and the Global Network Centers (GNC). This collaboration strengthens the U.S. Army's communications infrastructure, ensuring reliable and secure global coverage to meet the demanding needs of military operations.
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 - as a leading satellite services integrator for the DoD, and provider of the previous STN iteration known as Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems (WESS) COMSATCOM Network (WCN), said David Broadbent, President and CEO, 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.
