Integral Systems Awarded $10 Million IDIQ Contract to Modernize Satellite Communications Network for the United States Coast Gua
January 04 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today that its
SATCOM Solutions division has been awarded a $10 million,
five-year, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract
to modernize the United States Coast Guard's (USCG) satellite
communications (SATCOM) network for the service's large cutters.
Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions division will act as the prime
contractor on the program, transitioning the USCG from its legacy
SATCOM network to a commercial-based, advanced Ku-band system,
significantly enhancing network reliability, flexibility and
scalability.
Under the terms of the contract, Integral Systems' SATCOM
Solutions division will provide an advanced 117MT Ku-band Maritime
Antenna System that includes its innovative, electromagnetic
compatible (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) management
system. The antenna system is uniquely suited to meet the USCG's
need for a commercial-based, interoperable solution that is
extremely efficient, ultra-lightweight and includes an ultra-low
loss radome. The 117MT fully supports primary "off-the-cutter"
connection to the Coast Guard One Network (CGONE), and provides the
ideal ocean‐going platform for single channel per carrier or
on‐demand networks supporting video teleconferencing, virtual
private networks, voice over IP and large file data transfers.
"We developed our Ku-band maritime antenna systems to enable the
most advanced communications for commercial, military, homeland
security and civil government operations," said Steve Gizinski,
General Manager of Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions Division. "As
a result of this effort, the U.S. Coast Guard will field one of the
most modern maritime broadband SATCOM networks, which will help it
better protect the shores and vital waterways of the United
States."
Earlier this year, Integral Systems acquired CVG Inc. and Avtec
Systems, Inc., which now operate as Integral Systems' SATCOM
Solutions division. For additional information regarding Integral
