Abstract The survey of the Galactic Plane has been one of the main INTEGRAL scientific objectives because of the scientific potential of both new source discovery and detailed monitoring of already known sources. We propose for a total of 3.0 Ms of observations in AO13 and 3 Ms in AO14 to continue our Key Program started in AO8 for covering areas of the Plane with regular scans every orbit. For these AOs we selected a section of the Plane incorporating 3 sky regions that are rich in galactic sources (HMXB and SFXT in particular) and potential MeV/TeV sources.Our purpose is to regularly monitor known systems as well as to dramatically enhance the chances of discovering new systems or new outbursts from known sources. This program will allow a rapid response to bright events and a detailed study of faint transients and their long term activity. Such a programme will be of high value to a very large fraction of the high-energy astronomy community, stimulating science immediately, and furthermore contributing greatly to the INTEGRAL legacy.In order to maximise the engagement of the scientific community, we will continue to make the observations publicimmediately. The team will make, as it has through AO8-12, the scw-resolution IBIS and JEM-X light curves (in twoenergy bands) and per revolution mosaic images publicly available through the web as soon as possible after theobservations have been performed. Any interesting source behaviour that emerges from our observations will beannounced promptly, so that rapid follow-up by the community is possible, as it has been already demonstrated.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
