Secure, reliable mission critical solutions
Agnostic solutions for any aircraft
SD Government delivers comprehensive in-flight satellite and air-to-ground connectivity for voice, data, and video. Scalable from single-network deployments to multi-bearer architectures, our agnostic solutions provide secure, reliable connectivity worldwide from cabin to cockpit.
Military Solutions
Airborne ISR
Achieve information superiority with the real-time transfer of data, images, and full-motion video by manned or unmanned aircraft and vehicles, between combat zones and command centers anywhere in the world
Helicopters
Ensure unbroken connectivity and real-time intelligence sharing, even when flying in remote areas or deep behind enemy lines
Maritime Patrol
Support maritime patrol aircraft with robust inflight communications that enable crews to coordinate anti-submarine warfare (ASW), relay Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, and transmit real-time intelligence to ground stations and other maritime assets
Multi-mission Transport Aircraft
Enable resilient inflight communications for multi-mission transport aircraft, supporting secure data exchange, real-time coordination, and uninterrupted connectivity across global operations. Aircraft can seamlessly shift between tactical airlift, medical evacuation, and command-and-control operations without losing vital data, voice, or video connectivity.
Unmanned Aircraft
Provide advanced connectivity solutions for unmanned aircraft, enabling dependable command, control, and data transmission for beyond-line-of-sight operations and mission success
Civil Government
Aerial Fire Fighting
Enable incident commanders with direct communication to aerial reconnaissance operators in the sky with live chat and media sharing. Airborne operators can efficiently communicate the fire situation to establish firelines and firebreaks.
Border Security
Connect remote border outposts, patrol vessels, and aircraft to government agencies for immigration and customs control, security checks, and general operations. Monitor remote unmanned borders with UAVs and video surveillance.
Government Heads of State
VVIP aircraft stay connected with secure voice, email, internet, and videoconferencing capabilities. Always on in‑flight connectivity support VIP safety and timely decision‑making.
Law Enforcement
Deliver secure communications through secure air-to-ground networks that can be utilized by police units and tactical drones. These systems combine traditional VHF/UHF radios with encrypted cellular connections and satellite uplinks to transmit real-time voice, video, and GPS data between the aircraft and ground command centers.
MEDEVAC
Connect teams on the ground and in aircraft with each other and coordination centers when terrestrial networks are unavailable. Share real-time information by voice, messaging, email, internet, and live video using quickly deployable satellite devices to help speed up response and save lives.
Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) ISR
SD Government provides specialized equipment and airtime options for contractors flying missions on behalf of governments
Commercial flexibility
A range of satellite networks and airtime plans tailored to mission tempo, budget, and operational needs—with pooled data plans and flexible contract terms
Single provider
SD Government provides aircraft equipment, integration assistance, satellite airtime and in-service support – an end-to-end solution from a single company
Global 24/7 Support
With offices around the world and a large team of military and government support engineers—many of them former military—SD Government is well positioned to support your COCO aircraft wherever it operates
Cockpit Services (FlightDeck Freedom)
Delivers continuous data link and secure messaging channels for cockpit crews to receive vital updates, reducing radio congestion during critical phases of flight
Route Alerts
Automatically alert crews and operations when hazardous weather could impact flights well before the actual event occurs, improving diversion planning and enhancing flight crew situational awareness
Security Alerts
Provide real-time notifications of potentially dangerous situations and events that can restrict travel. Includes monitoring of major security events that are present at or around the destination and or departure location.
Geofencing
Create a virtual boundary around a specific area on a map. When an aircraft enters or leaves this area, the geofence automatically sends you an alert or triggers an action. Geonotifications can be tailored to specific aircraft or proximity-giving you advance notice when aircraft is approaching or exiting a defined area.
Critical 24/7 support anywhere in the world
A single, reliable point of contact for global support, bringing hardware, software, and connectivity together under one trusted partner. With access to multiple satellite networks and a deep bench of technical expertise, the team ensures mission‑critical operations stay connected wherever they fly.
