Integral Systems, Inc. (Integral NASDAQ: ISYS) has purchased the intellectual property and other assets relating to the satID product line from U.K.-based QinetiQ Group PLC.

Integral Systems homepage Satellite operators around the world use satID to geolocate the source of satellite interferers, jammers, and unauthorized users to ensure quality of satellite service. Integral Systems has used the satID capability in the RAIDRS program for the U.S. Air Force and other Integral Systems offerings. The satID product line and services will become a part of Integral Systems’ Space Communications group.

Technology consultancy and other support services relating to the satID product line will be provided to Integral Systems by QinetiQ in the UK. This arrangement will allow for continuity of services and support to satID customers, while providing a technology relationship for further development of the satID product line. In a separate agreement, Integral Systems and QinetiQ North America have agreed to pursue teaming arrangements on certain existing programs and jointly explore future programs for the national security marketplace. The satID product will be integrated with Integral Systems’ Telemetrix®, Compass®, and Monics® products to provide a fully integrated capability to detect, characterize, and geolocate the source of satellite uplink communication signals with applications in commercial, military, government, and intelligence markets.
