/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integral Systems Europe (ISE), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Systems, Inc., (NASDAQ: ISYS)
has been chosen to provide advanced network monitoring and
management systems to the Norwegian Navy's fleet of NANSEN class
frigates and Netherlands Navy NAVSAT class frigates. ISE entered
into a three-year agreement with Thales and will provide the

equipment monitoring, giving SATCOM operators a complete overview
