SES Government Solutions (SES GS) is the natural evolution of SES’s commitment to the U.S. Government. Since 1973, SES GS has been pioneering the use of domestic commercial satellite communications services for U.S. government agencies. SES GS continues to build on its legacy of government service to focus exclusively on the unique requirements of the United States government satellite communications market.

Formerly known as Americom Government Services (AGS), SES GS provided a wide range of voice, video and data network services to major government groups and contracts, including the Department of Defense, Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, NASA, Department of Commerce, Department of the Interior, Department of Energy, and the Justice Department. Instead of government customers being obligated to purchase individual satellite service components from multiple vendors, SES GS provided turn-key solutions and life-cycle support from engineering to program management. SES GS has held a number of contracts for many decades as a result of exceptional service and support. This includes DISA’s Thule Air Base Program which has been supported by AGS since 1973.

Today, SES GS is the only operating company within the SES family focused solely on the needs of the U.S. Government. With access to the world’s leading fleet of geosynchronous communications and medium earth orbit satellites, SES GS continues to meet its USG customers’ unique requirements, while building on its record of superior service and proven global expertise.
