Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business 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.
Ben Massey, senior v-p of government sales at Gogo, said the agreement supports NOAA’s mission of delivering critical atmospheric data to those who need it most. “We’re proud to support the delivery of vital data from the storm’s eye to decision-makers, using our robust and reliable networks and infrastructure,” he said.
SDG describes itself as a provider of secure, end-to-end satellite connectivity services for government and military operators. It offers solutions across geostationary, medium-earth-orbit, and low-earth-orbit satellite constellations, encompassing L-, Ku-, and Ka-band frequencies.
The <a href="https://www.omao.noaa.gov/aircraft-operations/noaa-hurricane-hunters">Hurricane Hunter</a> aircraft collect live atmospheric data by flying directly into tropical storms and hurricanes, providing real-time information used by the National Hurricane Center and other agencies to support storm tracking and response.
