The decision to bid LKSAA as Prime Contractor represents
a definite commitment on the part of Christian Rovsing
to devote its resources and technical talents to the
successful implementation and performance of the sytem.
The decision was taken at top-
level after thorough discussions with the staff of
marketing, administration, and engineering at Christian
Rovsing.
Considerable experience in the field of data communication
combined with experience as prime manager of major
computer system projects provide a solid basis for
our participation in this project. Prime contractor
responsibility, particularly for military customers
such as NATO-SHAPE, has demanded a professional approach
to turn-key project management with particular emphasis
on planning and documentation in all phases from system
design and development to production, integration,
installation, training, and maintenance. The contracts
awarded to the company have been typically worth from
several to tens of millions of DM.
To provide the necessary talent and facilities, the
LKSAA project will be staffed by experts from all divisions
at Christian Rovsing. Thus, exceptionally strong capabilities
will be available in computing and data communication.
Participating entities at Christian Rovsing are:
o The Systems Division - structured in 1979 to consolidate
management of major computer system projects. The
CAMPS project for NATO is the responsibility of
the Systems Divisions.
o The Development Division - responsible for the
design of the CR80 Computer product line of which
more than 200 systems are currently on order from
major customers such as NATO, ICL and L.M. Ericsson.
o The Production Division - responsible for manufacturing
of the CR80 Computer product line.
The LKSAA Project Group will be supported by the Christian
Rovsing, Integrated Logistics Support Group, which
provides services including site surveys, installation,
training, documentation preparation, maintenance, spares
and other necessary support services.
Product quality will be ensured by the Quality Assurance
Department, which reports directly to company management.
An administratively distinct Project Office will be
established to manage the LKSAA Project. This project
office will have total system responsibility and authority
to coordinate in-house activities and to provide close
liaison with the customer throughout the duration of
the project.
In summary, the decision to bid is based on the confidence
that Christian Rovsing A/S, supported by sub-contractors,
has all the necessary qualifications for the successful
design, implementation and maintenance of the LKSAA.
The message handling and communication system for LKSAA
is based on Christian Rovsing standard concept for
message switching. Thereby it is possible that only
about a third of the software for the LKSAA has to
be newly developed. This highly efficient communications
processor has previously been used in the NATO CAMPS
program and is also to be used in extensive airline
communication systems like Air Canada's and American
Airlines', where up to 65,000 terminals will be connected
to various host computers.
The host computer proposed for the LKSAA is a fully
dualized CR80 computer system, with automatic switch-over
from active to the standby in the event of failure.
Manual switch-over is also possible to accomplish "on-line"
maintenance, i.e. maintenance without loss of function
by using the standby unit for processing while the
formerly active unit is serviced. In addition to fault
tolerant operation and ease of maintenance, the CR80
is characterized by high performance, high system availability,
and growth by simple addition of standard modules.
Christian Rovsing A/S's experience in developing and
implementing crypto system is based on various military
projects conducted in the past. Especially in the Integrated
Danish Military Communication System, FIKS, Christian
Rovsing A/S has - in close cooperation with the customer
- designed a unique, very cost effective and secure
crypto system. Christian Rovsing A/S believes that
a similar approach can be taken on the LKSAA based
on the outline from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The LKSAA system design will benefit from experience
gained in the CAMPS program as well as the NICS-TARE
Front End Processors, which have been supplied by the
Christian Rovsing A/S and fully accepted by NICSMA.
These elements will provide an important no-risk aspect
to the proposed LKSAA system design. Figure 1.1-1 gives
an overview of the LKSAA system design, showing both
data paths and control signals vis …1a… vis system functions
and equipments.
The proposed system is composed of standard terminal
equipment, which is available on the german market,
and of equipment developed by Christian Rovsing A/S,
which is used for military systems, which also have
been used in Germany. Therefore the proposed equipment
fulfills german requirements and specifications.
