1. C̲O̲R̲P̲O̲R̲A̲T̲E̲ ̲H̲I̲S̲T̲O̲R̲Y̲
Christian Rovsing A/S was founded in 1963. At first
the company worked mainly in a consulting and advisory
capacity within the EDP field. Activities developed
rapidly, and the business gradually changed character
from consultant to supplier of systems.
Around 1971, a deliberate commitment was made by the
company to apply its resources to the European space
program. It has since participated in most major programs,
and successful participation in these programs has
broadened the company's capabilities. The high degree
of performance which these programs demand has been
met by applying up-to-date technology, specialized
hardware and software engineering expertise, and modern
management methods.
For the design and production of switching power supplies
to the European space program, we have developed an
advanced technology and sophisticated design philosophy
which can be applied to the solution of complex power
supply problems. Several patents are held by the company
relating to power supply circuit design.
Based on experience gained from engagement in the European
space program the company decided to enter the demanding
military market. An important contract with Delco Electronics
Inc. to co-produce their Fire Control Computer as part
of the 4-nation European F-16 Program was won. The
Fire Control Computer is the only "end-item" co-produced
in Denmark and is delivered directly to the F-16 assembly
lines in Europe or the U.S.A.
In the mid-seventies the company decided to enter the
data communications market. It has since participated
in critical computer communications-oriented programs
for both commercial and defense customers, with such
projects as CAMPS (NATO), FIKS (Danish MOD), and LME-Network
(commercial).
Christian Rovsing A/S believes that it has developed
exceptional, professional talent dedicated to advanced
data communication. Furthermore, the company excels
in applying current technology to modular equipment
design and has no outdated product lines to support.
In short, Christian Rovsing has acquired extensive
experience in the design, development, and manufacture
of computer and aerospace electronics.
2. C̲o̲m̲p̲a̲n̲y̲ ̲O̲r̲g̲a̲n̲i̲z̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
Christian Rovsing A/S is wholly owned by Danish nationals
and conducts its business without the aid of public
funds and is independent of foreign capital. For further
information, the company annual report is available.
Management of the Company is in the hands of Messrs.
Christian F. Rovsing, Claus Jepsen and Lars Stig Nielsen.
Mr. Rovsing is the President and the founder of the
company. He is a member of many government and industrial
committees as well as professional societies related
to research and data processing.
Today, there are five major divisions within the company
(see Figure A-1)
o Data Processing Division
o Electronics Division
o Systems Division
o Production Division
o Development Division
and three wholly owned subsidiaries:
o Christian Rovsing Corporation (Los Angeles, California)
supports the mother company in major contracts
with North American customers and has its own software
development center.
o Christian Rovsing International located in Copenhagen
delivers computer systems for communication networks
and process control and contracts staff to large
international customers.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION
o CR Card System located in Copenhagen delivers electronic
systems for the automation of gasoline (petrol)
stations.
The Data Processing Division is located in a 5,000
sq. meter leased facility in Herlev, near Copenhagen.
The Electronics and Systems Divisions are based in
a newly constructed 12,000 sq. meter facility in Ballerup,
also near Copenhagen.
The Administration and General Management are located
in the Ballerup facility.
The Ballerup location houses development laboratories,
the main production and test department, a model shop
and special "clean room" facilities for the production
of space-qualified hardware.
A separate, dedicated facility has also been established
for the co-production of the airborne FCC computer
for the European F-16 program. It is located about
10 Km from the main Ballerup facility.
Military data communication systems are the responsibility
of the Systems Division.
More details about the five divisions of Christian
Rovsing A/S and Christian Rovsing International are
given in the sections to follow.
2.1 D̲a̲t̲a̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲c̲e̲s̲s̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲D̲i̲v̲i̲s̲i̲o̲n̲
The Data Processing Division (fig. I A-2) employs about
150 people, of whom 80 work within the data service
bureau - Christian Rovsing Data Services, CRDS.
CRDS is one of Denmark's largest service bureaux utilising
two IBM-370's and two Burroughs-6700's at its central
computer installation. Access to the service bureau
is via several hundred direct and dial up lines forming
a large private network which stretches from Oslo and
Stockholm in the north via Copenhagen to Frankfurt
and Vienna in the south.
The division has a separate consultingdepartment which
gives assistance to clients outside CRDS.
This department advises on the application of data
processing to organisations, and work on systems development
and programming for both technical and administrative
business.
The Technical Computer Applications department employs,
almost exclusively, engineers and software specialists
and works with projects in data-communications, automation
and process control, and medical systems.
The Business Systems department delivers small computer
based business systems for inventory control, wage
and salary control, accounting systems, etc.
Many projects within the Data Processing Division are
carried out in co-operation with other suppliers, whereby
the customer can be offered complete turn-key systems.

DATA PROCESSING DIVISION
2.2 E̲l̲e̲c̲t̲r̲o̲n̲i̲c̲s̲ ̲D̲i̲v̲i̲s̲i̲o̲n̲
The Electronics Division (fig. A-3) consists of three
principal engineering departments, which are the Data
Management Department, the Communications Product Department,
and the Support and Maintenance Department.
The Data Management Department is dedicated to data
base applications. Two current projects are DANKORT
and TELEDATA. DANKORT is a national credit card system
covering bank and retail transactions as well as inter-bank
funds transfer. TELEDATA is a national VIDEOTEX service
provided by the Danish Teleadministration (Post & Telegraph
and the Telephone Administration - KTAS/FKT/JTAS).
The Communications Product Department is concerned
with all aspects of data communications. Four major
products are DORA - an on-line, real-time editing system
for news programs on Danish Television, BARONET - a
front end processor to ICL computers with planned expansion
to a full communications network, CRISP - a communications
network serving ICL computers, and Local Area Networks.
The department has its own Product Software Group.
The Support and Maintenance Department provides support
to all division projects, and includes the MICRO Systems
Group, the H/W Support Branch, the S/W Maintenance
Group, and the Training Section. The H/W Support Branch
includes design, test and integration, and field support
services.
On the divisional level, there is a Marketing function
and a Product Group which coordinates all projects.

ELECTRONICS DIVISION
2.3 S̲y̲s̲t̲e̲m̲s̲ ̲D̲i̲v̲i̲s̲i̲o̲n̲
The Systems Division (fig. I A-4) was structured late
in 1979, and systems-related activities were consolidated
to improve the handling of large, integrated hardware/software
data communications programs. The division is organised
on a project basis including CAMPS and FIKS, two major
military communication projects. Each major project
is under the cognizance of a Project Office with total
system responsibility and control authority to co-ordinate
in-house activities, and to provide close liaison with
the customer throughout the duration of the Project.
Projects are supported by the Integrated Logistics
Department. Its services include site surveys, installation,
training, documentation, maintenance, spares and other
support.
Advanced system development projects are assigned to
the Computer Systems Engineering Group. Current projects
include satellite image-data handling systems and miscellaneous
consulting services.
The Systems Division is also responsible for contract
performance in conjunction with Danish Industrial Group
One on the production and delivery of some 400 military-qualified
computers for the F-16 project. A complete computer
is produced each workday.
Quality Assurance reports directly to top-level management.
Emphasis is placed on the quality of the hardware and
of the software, both of which affect system performance.
Fig. A-4…01…THE SYSTEM DIVISION
2.4 P̲R̲O̲D̲U̲C̲T̲I̲O̲N̲ ̲D̲I̲V̲I̲S̲I̲O̲N̲
The Production Division (fig. A-5) has three major
functions, which are Module Production, Integration
and Test, and Test Engineering. There are 100 employees
and 2000 sq.m. of production area with a present capacity
of 7000 modules per year. Production capacity growth
is planned to be from 40 to 60% per year in the coming
years.
There are two production lines:
o Medium volume, complex modules - CR80 modules
o Large volume products - power supplies and local
area networks.
Quality Assurance is ensured by a separate group, reporting
directly to top-level management. Production meets
NATO AQAP-1 standards.
At present, production is semi-automatic with laser
guided mounting of module components and automatic
test equipment. By 1985, production is expected to
be fully automated - an overview of the Electronic
Factory is shown in figure A-6.

2.5 D̲E̲V̲E̲L̲O̲P̲M̲E̲N̲T̲ ̲D̲I̲V̲I̲S̲I̲O̲N̲
The Development Division (fig. A-7) has 5 departments,
which are Product Design, Divisional Support, Electronic
Design, CR80 System Software, and Micro Systems Software.
The Product Design Group is responsible for the preliminary
definition of new projects and the decision to start
development as well as high level system policy and
continuous evaluation of divisional development efforts.
Department heads are responsible for carrying out division
plans for development, and together with the divisional
manager resources are allocated to ensure meeting divisional
goals. Department heads also participate in budget
preparation and are responsible for meeting them.
As development demands efforts from all departments,
projects are staffed accordingly. Each project, or
task, is led by a task manager with responsibility
for weekly progress reporting to ensure meeting schedules
- a uniform, computer based reporting system, started
in 1982, simplifies this task.
