The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory INTEGRAL is dedicated to the fine spectroscopy, accurate imaging, and arcminute location of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy range 15 keV to 10 MeV. Simultaneous monitoring of the GRB site in X rays and in the optical V-band will be provided by two on-board monitors. Gamma-ray bursts will be discovered both during routine program observations as serendipitous sources in the large FOVs and as high-resolution time histories from the spectrometer anticoincidence system, forming part of the interplanetary network of GRB detectors. The observational capabilities of INTEGRAL further include the dissemination of INTEGRAL GRB alerts and associated data to the science community at large in order to facilitate rapid follow-up observations of GRB error boxes for counterpart searches, afterglow observations, and subsequent investigations. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
