Integral Systems Awarded Contract For GPS Next Gen Control Segment
Lanham MD (SPX) Jan 21, 2008 Integral Systems announced the award by Northrop Grumman of a Phase A contract to begin development of the GPS OCX (Next Generation Control Segment) satellite command and control system. The total contract value is approximately $20.6 million with a period of performance through March 2009. As a key member of the Northrop Grumman OCX Team, Integral Systems will provide satellite command and control, network command and control, training, and ground system simulation capabilities. If the Northrop Grumman Team is awarded the follow-on OCX Phase B contract, Integral Systems will deliver command and control capabilities for the entire GPS constellation, including sustainment through 2023. Jim Schuetzle, Integral Systems' Executive Vice President for Government Programs, said, "This contract award is important for Integral Systems and the Air Force. Our GPS OCX solution is an extension of ISI's CCS-C system already operating the Air Force's MILSATCOM satellites. Using the CCS-C system on OCX not only demonstrates the flexibility of our system and products, but also marks a very important step toward enabling more common control capabilities for Air Force satellites." Steve Bergjans, Northrop Grumman's GPS OCX Program Manager, stated, "Northrop Grumman is extremely pleased to continue our relationship with Integral Systems. Their experience in transitioning MILSATCOM command and control capabilities from the legacy CCS system to a modern architecture coupled with CCS-C's proven track record will certainly pay dividends in the development of OCX. We are delighted to have them as our partner in this effort." Related Links Integral Systems GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
