1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
FM Satkom is a satellite communications system used by Swedish Armed Forces to reach the national
infrastructure (FTN) in Sweden.The FM Satkom System consists of several sub-systems such as a
satellite gateway used together with connecting service nodes (transportable, vessel mounted, container
based etc.), transportable field hub stations used together with man-portable transmission nodes and
small handheld terminals such as Iridium and Inmarsat terminals. There is, however, not one party that
manages support services such as helpdesk, operation of the reference facility and engineering resources;
instead several consultants are involved under several contracts. FMV will change this procedure in this
request for proposal (RFP) and sign a contract with one party, one contact point.
1.3 Requirements
1.3.1 Mandatory and Desirable Requirements
All mandatory requirements are marked “shall” and must be fulfilled.
All development and support service requirements are labelled DSS-z, where z is a sequential number.
All statement of work requirements are labelled SoW-y, where y is a sequential number.

- The CSF handles network logics and connections to the terrestrial networks for
telephony, internet and FM IP. The CSF is co-located with an ITP.
- The ITP is always co-located with the CSF. The interface between the antennae and the
CSF is based on L-band IF signals. It runs over a fibre link between the two parts. The
purpose of the ITP is to link the services of the CSF via satellite to remote service nodes.
Three point eight metre antennae are currently in operation at the ITP with Tx and Rx
equipment. Both C-band and Ku-band are used in parallel. The ITP can be further
developed to incorporate additional antennae as required.

4.2.6.2 Training
4.3.1 Summary
Generally, the purpose of the transmission system is to set up a WAN over a joint operations area in
theatre. In this way, a small unit (i.e. a provincial rescue team or similar) patrolling the area can access
the local FHQ and exchange information during the patrol. As such, there is no need for individual
soldiers to access the FTN during patrol; this is managed when the unit returns to the FHQ.
2013-12-16 13FMV212-25:1
A
- The end-user:
The end-users of the satellite WAN are the units on patrol in theatre. The unit manages
deployment, line-up and information exchange on-the-pause.
4.3.5 Maintenance
Maintenance of the transmission node is carried out according to the guidelines in the current
maintenance plan (UHP). Exchange of spare parts takes place at LRU and PSP level. If deep repair is
needed, the terminal is sent to the manufacturer or similar, in accordance with the current support
contract for the specific terminal.

Domain - Infrastructure
This domain relates to the overall day-to-day work involved in running the helpdesk and maintaining the
RDS, with consideration given to additional work involved in specific projects, procurements, system
maintenance etc.
Role - System Integration / Systems Work
General
3-5 System integration workers must be assigned to the FM Satkom DSS.
The system integration domain aims to ensure the provision of hands-on work of the FM Satkom System
including terminal sub-systems, configuration, functionality and services running IP networks, including
those with long delay times (i.e. satellite link). Experience of telecommunications systems such as
internetworking, IP routing protocol, server systems and applications and QoS etc. is required.
Work and experience must be verified by the CV stating related work and appropriate references
(contact person).
Experience of satellite communications is also mandatory. At least 2 people from the pool in this
domain must be familiar with VSAT systems including antenna deployment, antenna pointing, line-up
procedures, operation and TDMA-based modem concepts. Skills and appropriate experience must be
documented or proven by other means.
Before commencing work at least 2 people from the pool must have passed the appropriate training and
be certified to manage and operate FÄRIST, PGAI and SwAF crypto phones and fax machines.
This work includes also proven experience of integrating/updating software into hardware, monitoring
that sub-systems interact correctly etc.

Verification and test aims to ensure that all sub-systems work together as expected and are configured to
optimize service throughput. The work includes testing and verifying that any updates of software or
firmware do not interfere with the expected functionality, but instead add stability or have an operational
benefit for the system.
Knowledge or experience of telecommunications systems, satellite communications and network design
and architecture are required.
The test leader must be familiar with test leading, creating test plans, evaluating test results, developing
test cases needed to verify the expected functionality or performance etc. A test leader must have
experience of test management and a good knowledge of:
- The system/application/architecture of the device under test.
- Test methodology and test tools.
- The development and operational environment.
- Appropriate standards for the device under test.
