COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. and COLUMBIA, Md., Jan. 5, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today that its Military and Intelligence Group (MIG) has achieved an important program milestone by successfully completing Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of the Rapid Attack Identification, Detection and Reporting System (RAIDRS) Block 10 (RB-10) program. The successful testing paves the way for the system's deployment and activation.
"The successful Factory Acceptance Testing is the latest in the major milestones we have achieved as part of our RB-10 program delivery," said David Conway, Integral Systems' RAIDRS Program Manager. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Air Force as we move into the deployment phase of the program, which will help the U.S. Military better detect, locate and categorize interference against its space assets."
