Integral Systems, Inc. Successfully Completes RAIDRS Block 10 Factory
Acceptance Test
Integral's RAIDRS Block 10 System to Provide Worldwide SATCOM Protection

LANHAM, Md., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integral Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ISYS) today announced it has successfully completed the Factory
Acceptance Test (FAT) for the Rapid Attack Identification Detection Reporting
System (RAIDRS) Block 10 (RB-10) Central Operating Location (COL) and first
deployable system.  FAT completion signifies the verification of all RB-10 IOC
system requirements capable of being tested at the production facility and
indicates the system is ready to transition into the Developmental Test and
Evaluation (DT&E) phase, which is the final on-site test prior to delivery.
Development on the next two deployable systems and the first two of six fixed
systems has begun and is continuing concurrently with the DT&E efforts
    In addition, on March 10, 2008 Integral was awarded a contract
modification for $21M to provide for the purchase and integration of
additional interference detection sensors and antennas for each of the three
deployable systems. These additional sensors, and those anticipated as future
modifications for the fixed sites, will provide even greater coverage for
RB-10 system.
    RB-10, managed by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC)
through its Space Superiority Systems Wing, detects, identifies, locates,
classifies and reports interference events against our military space assets.
It includes automated detection sensors, information processors, and a
reporting architecture. The base contract provided for the Initial Operational
Capability (IOC) including a COL system and deployable systems. The FOC phase
provides enhanced capabilities including the addition of worldwide fixed
sites, enhanced geolocation accuracy, and additional lifecycle cost saving
automation.
    Integral Systems is the prime contractor for the RB-10 program. RB-10
utilizes COTS hardware and software components from Integral's RT Logic, SAT,
and Newpoint subsidiaries to perform its primary functions. RT Logic is
providing its Telemetrix(R) Sentinal products for signal processing, SAT is
providing its Monics Satellite Carrier Monitoring/Interference Detection
software, and Newpoint is providing its Compass Enterprise Management System.
David Bryant, Integral's Vice President of Eastern Programs stated, "The
completion of FAT is a major milestone for the RAIDRS program. Through the
combined work of the Integral Team and the Air Force, the Warfighter will soon
have a fully operational and sustainable Defensive Counterspace system in the
field." Cindi Brown, Integral's RAIDRS Program Manager stated, "This milestone
is a significant stepping stone towards the final goal of the FOC system. I am
very proud of the entire team and their hard work and dedication that made
this milestone possible."
    The results contained in this submission were generated in whole, or in
part, through work supporting the Space Superiority Systems Wing.
