Global satellite solutions provider SES Government Solutions (SES GS) will support the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) on the ground as well as in space. On 31 August 2015, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems announced its selection of SES GS to build two GEO Uplink Subsystem stations to support the next generation of the WAAS network. The data transmitted by the uplink stations will improve the accuracy, integrity and availability of the GPS signals intended to enable aircraft to rely on GPS for all phases of flight, including precision approaches to airports within the coverage area.
