Revenues for the 2-year contract will be about $5 million, with additional options to increase operating capabilities for advanced antenna systems bringing the potential value of the contract to $8 million.

"Integral Systems is very excited about this opportunity to support the NOAA Integrated Program Office in its mission to converge the military and civilian meteorological satellite programs," notes Patrick Woods, Integral's Vice President of NOAA Programs.

The company will enhance and integrate its EPOCH 2000 Monitor and Control Product, which is being used as part of NOAA's ongoing antenna systems upgrade effort at its Command and Data Acquisition sites at Fairbanks, Alaska, and Wallops Island, Virginia. Integral Systems is responsible for modifying both the existing Polar Acquisition and Control System and the recently installed Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Integrated Polar Acquisition and Control System under this contract.
