Who We Are

Integral Systems builds satellite groundsystems for command and control, integrationand test, data processing, and simulation.We’ve provided ground systems for morethan 120 different satellite missions forcommunications, science, meteorology andEarth resource applications. Our domestic andInternational customers include governmentand commercial satellite operators, spacecraftand payload manufacturers, and aerospacesystems integrators.

We develop innovative software productsthat reduce the cost and minimize thedevelopment risk associated withtraditional, custom-built systems. We werethe first to offer a comprehensivecommercial-off-the-shelf softwareproduct line for command and control. Weuse these products to provide satellitecontrol facilities that can operate multiplesatellites from any manufacturer.

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Integral Systems offers systems and software for satellite and terrestrial communications signal monitoring. In 2001, Integral Systems formed a wholly owned European subsidiary, Integral Systems Europe S.A.S., with headquarters in Toulouse, France. Integral Systems has more than 230 employees working at company headquarters in Lanham, Md., and at other locations in the U.S. and Europe.

In many ways, your satellite groundsystem is as important as yoursatellite. Your ground system tracksand controls your satellite, andprocesses and analyzes theinformation it gathers. No companyunderstands this concept better thanIntegral Systems, Inc.

Our ConceptOur Focus

Our EPOCH IPS system is compatible with every commercial communications satellite bus in the industry, allowing operators to use a single system to operate diverse satellite fleets from various manufacturers. Our customers can focus their talents on their numerous satellites, rather than

on numerous ground systems.

Our customers are secure in the knowledge that whatever satellite they choose next to expand their fleet, their ground system already can operate it. It’s no wonder that EPOCH IPS has become the industry standard for communications

satellite control and operations.

The Standard

Integral Systems has, by far, the world’s largest market share in commercial communication applications – over 50% of the market, and growing. Significant procurement, training, operations, and maintenance cost reductions have been realized by our customers using a single EPOCH IPS system to

operate all of their satellites.

To commercial satellite operators, one thing matters: the bottom line. Satellite organizations are being asked to fly larger fleets of more diverse satellites with fewer people and resources. The solution to this dilemma is automation. EPOCH IPS enables our customers to reduce their operations costs, while monitoring and controlling their satellites.

CommercialAutomation

Integral Systems is more than a COTS provider. In fact, over 50% of our business is focused on satisfying the unique requirements of our Government satellite control customers. These customers include the U.S. Air Force, NOAA, NASA, Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Integral Systems provides the full services of a prime contractor, in addition to supplying our commercial COTS products. We deploy mission-specific systems built to Government specifications for the entire range of space applications, including satellite simulation, planning and scheduling, and payload data processing.
