Christian Rovsing is Denmark's fastest growing high-technology
computer and aerospace-electronics company. Founded
in 1963, Christian Rovsing and its subsidiaries currently
employ over 800 people, many of whom are highly educated
engineers, scientists, and skilled technicians.
In recent years the company's growth rate has approached
40% annually, due in large measure to its advanced,
high-technology CR80 Computer product line and the
excellence of its systems-orientated technical staff.
Today, Christian Rovsing stands as one of Europe's
leading computer systems houses, capable of taking
responsibilty of all aspects of hardware/software projects
from concept through implementation to final acceptance.
Facilities are located in suburban Copenhagen at three
locations - Ballerup, Herlev, and Valby. The administration
and general management are located at the Ballerup
facility.
Christian Rovsing's corporate facilities and divisional
organization have been specifically structured to handle
development and implementation of specialized military
and commercial computer systems. There are five engineering
divisions - electronics, systems, data processing,
production, and development - and inter-divisional
cooperation is stressed to ensure available project
expertise.
In the four figures to follow are shown:

CHRISTIAN ROVSING A/S was founded in 1963. At first
the company worked mainly in a consulting and advisory
capacity within the EDP field. Activitaies 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 A/S has acquired extensive
experience in the design, development, and manufacture
of computer and aerospace electronics.

Christian Rovsing 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 3)
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.
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, which is described in the
next section.

The Systems Division 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.
The organization of the Systems Division is shown in
figure 4.
