SD Government, a Gogo company, has secured a $7.5 million NOAA contract providing mission-critical communications services for Hurricane Hunter aircraft.

SD Government, a division of Gogo, has secured a $7.5 million blanket purchase agreement with NOAA to provide satellite communications and related services for the agency’s Hurricane Hunter fleet just as the 2026 hurricane season begins.

The contract covers L-band satellite communications, ground infrastructure, and cybersecurity solutions routed through Gogo’s data center in Melbourne, Florida, along with Gogo’s FlightDeck Freedom cockpit datalink software suite. The agreement supports NOAA’s Aircraft Operations Center, which operates the Hurricane Hunter fleet—a group of Lockheed Martin WP-3Ds that includes Kermit and Miss Piggy, aircraft named after the beloved Muppet characters.
