SES GLOBAL Group Structure
Slide3:
Broad, Diverse Government SATCOM Services Experience for over 30 years An independent, wholly-owned US subsidiary of SES Americom, operating under a full DSS SSA
Serving the US Government since 1973
Turn key services with the strength of a Global Satellite Operator providing satellite capacity, teleport, hybrid custom network solutions, equipment,and IP platform services, to meet a wide range of secure requirements for fixed, transportable, and mobile applications
Part of SES Global, the world’s leading commercial satellite Group, (51 satellites) with a long-standing record of technical, financial and “six-sigma” (99.9999%) operational excellence

DoD Forecast Suggests Further Resources Needed to Augment Milsatcom:
DoD Forecast Suggests Further Resources Needed to Augment Milsatcom Source: OASD (NII), Nov ’05, DoD Commercial Satcom Users Workshop Forecasts predict by 2010 demand will exceed supply by 12 Gbps+
FSS Comsatcom is now a recognized component of the TCA 2.0+
FSS Comsatcom can be a prudent and essential part of meeting the US DoD’s
broadband (COTM/UAV’s) mission requirements to augment milsatcom
Comsatcom Broadband……Today:
Comsatcom Broadband……Today Current Application Case Studies
DSTS-G Comsatcom Transmission Service Requests (TSRs)
Current and successful use of Commercial Satellite Broadband capacity at Ku band to support US DoD and Homeland Defense UAV Predator and Global Hawk Missions in the US and IOR
Success recognized on multiple spacecraft and regional diversity
Data rates averaging 32-45Mbps per 36Mhz transponders
SES Americom Test Bed Conducted Supporting US DoD
Operational tests performed on Global Hawk utilizing Ka band frequency providing full CONUS geographic coverage
Performance return was documented in excess of 200Mbps to reach desired 274Mpbs broadband connectivity
Existing Commercial satellites have operational limitations for future
broadband US Gov use……next generation comsat payloads can address
Comsatcom Broadband……Future:
Comsatcom Broadband……Future USG-Commercial Partnership….the next generation
GOAL - Deliver rapid, cost effective, low risk methods for augmenting milsat for broadband UAV and other ISR related applications where feasible with increased capacity, speed and coverage
USG participation early in the projected build cycle of commercial satellites
Considerations
Hosted USG payloads on commercial spacecraft (Ka, X military bands)
Hosted USG transponders on commercial spacecraft
Consortium built commercial/USG payloads
Recommendation
Joint USG-Industry study to determine feasibility based upon technical, regulatory and acquisition policies
Next generation comsat payloads can play an important role in supporting
Future TCA requirement with diverse and compliant capabilities
