Description: LANTERN Service Expansion
1. Purpose
This proposal provides the price for the deployment and support of LANTERN Service Expansion. It follows
from the successful LANTERN pilot, which has been in operation since November 2006.
The purpose and overarching objective of the LANTERN project is to provide police with portable fingerprint
capture and results from searching the Unified National Collection via a secure wireless link. It features:
• Efficient capture of fingerprint details suitable for identifying an individual in an operational
environment;
• Real-time searching of the unified fingerprint collection held on IDENT1 with timely responses to aid the
officer in their decision making process.
CCN014R2 “LANTERN Pilot Phase 2 – Implementation Phase” and the follow-on extension of service
CCN014R2A proved the viability of the LANTERN Concept of Operations, including its operational human-
computer interface and the interface with Central facilities housing the unified fingerprint collection. It validated
the technical approach and business case for LANTERN through the use of ten (10) pilot Forces equipped with
one hundred (100) hand-held Mobile Fingerprint Readers (MFR) to assess workload implications for the
fingerprint matching capacity.
Based on user feedback concerning usability of the solution and validation of the business process model, and on
the fingerprint matching capacity requirements for a larger operational deployment of LANTERN, an expansion
of the scale of the pilot was exercised and is being implemented under CCN040. It doubles the number of MFRs
to two hundred (200), and deploys them to an additional ten Forces for a total of twenty (20).
2. Scope
This description indicates the scope of services covered by the proposed price. It provides an expansion of
LANTERN service to a greater number of police forces throughout England and Wales, making fingerprint
identification readily available to more officers in the pursuit of their duties. This involves procurement of
additional MFRs, with spares and warranty service, and implementation of customised MFR software designed to
meet requirements unique to LANTERN. It also requires expansion of the Central facilities where fingerprint
data is maintained and searches are performed. Higher capacity computational resources will be implemented to
process a larger workload of searches. Refinement of the detailed design, development, integration, and
implementation services will be provided for the expansion, including deployment and support for the added
MFRs.
The features required for LANTERN operation have been previously developed under the aforementioned pilot
(CCN014R2). The proposed LANTERN Service Expansion makes full use of the existing baseline of
capabilities, refining them to ensure robust operation on a larger scale, and expanding their use to a larger user
community.
In order to meet the expected workload increase from MFR deployment to a larger number of users, the
centralised capacity to perform fingerprint searches and return useful and timely responses to LANTERN-
equipped officers is also increased through the addition of kit such as search engines. The search engines are
comprised of matchers using specialised algorithms similar to others used in IDENT1 but tailored to optimise
them for the unique two-index-finger searches of LANTERN.
Software hosted on servers manages the search/match functions, performs fingerprint feature extraction, and
provides a web-based interface through which the mobile devices communicate with the Central facilities. Two

Central facilities each provide similar functions, enabling sharing of search load and continuity of operation in
case of planned or unplanned interruptions in service at one of the sites.
The LANTERN matching resources and associated servers are dedicated to LANTERN operations, so search
performance is not subject to variations due to workload of other search services.
The Central architecture is modular, so the capacity can be augmented as MFRs are added or if workload rises for
other reasons. This proposal enables price points to be ascertained for various quantities of added MFRs, and the
corresponding Central services are provided as needed for the MFR quantity.

Figure 2-1 LANTERN Service Expansion – High Level Architecture
The MFR uses the C&W SRAS client software, namely Credant Mobile Guardian (CMG) to encrypt data at rest
and Aventail virtual private network (VPN) software to provide protection to the data in transit. The MFR is
secured with a single device-level PIN number. Transmissions are carried over GPRS communications provided
under existing carriers used by each Force. LANTERN operates with all of the four leading carriers used by
Forces. The user initiates a secure socket layer (SSL) VPN session without further authentication. Messages are
passed securely over the Internet to the SRAS VPN concentrator. The VPN tunnel ends at the concentrator,
which is located on the CJX. The VPN checks certificate validity against a certificate authority accessing a
certificate revocation list (CRL). Based on the device level cert, the message is decrypted and passed through the
CJX/IDENT1 gateway into IDENT1. There, the LANTERN Central facility processes it, performs the requested
fingerprint search, and returns a response via the same path.
This proposal provides for fingerprint identification services to be provided from a variable number of hand-held
MFRs rolled out to Police Forces without restrictions on quantities per Force. Deployment distribution can be
defined according to Force needs. The MFRs previously provided under the pilot will continue in service under
the terms of their existing contract (CCN014R2A or CCN040).

The rate of deployment will be raised from the current 20 MFRs per week at 2 Forces to meet the greater volumes
of the LANTERN Service Expansion. Using the current resources and procedures as a baseline, staff allocations
and multiple shifts will be combined with procedure improvements that raise productivity to sustain MFR build
and deployment at greater rates. It is a key objective to deploy to the Forces as fast as practicable so the value of
LANTERN begins to accrue as soon as possible. Specific scheduling of deployments to each Force will be
subject to agreement with the Authority and the Forces.
Service including implementation, deployment and operation of the MFRs and Central facilities is included for a
period of three (3) years from start of the contract. Extensions beyond the period of performance and technical
refresh of MFRs will be provided through the change control process upon the Authority’s request.
The LANTERN Service Expansion adds to the dedicated LANTERN matching subsystem residing on the
IDENT1 SISP. Its database is updated from the IDENT1 database to keep it current as changes are made to the
Unified National Collection. The matching subsystem provides print-to-print searches of index fingers against
composite prints in the database. It is not required to search multiple registrations, nor fingers other than index
fingers (numbers 2 and 7). The capacity and matching response times are summarised in the LANTERN
Performance and Scalability Report (CCN014R2-20.2-1.0). The Central search capacity is based on analysis of
usage statistics collected during the LANTERN Pilot Phase 2 - Implementation Phase. It defines the matcher
capacity as a function of the number of MFRs deployed. That capacity is less than would be needed for the
unlikely worst case in which every MFR submitted a search at exactly the same time, but is greater than the
capacity required to only keep pace with the mean search request rate averaged over a long period of time. That
is, it allows for limiting queues to short lengths to permit fast response times in the face of any reasonable
expectation of peak loads.
2.2 Approach
The general approach of the LANTERN Service Expansion is in four (4) strands:
1. Customisation of the third generation SAGEM RapID to meet LANTERN MFR requirements
2. Refinement of the existing functionality of the Central software and its interface to the MFR
3. Boosting centralised search capacity
4. Strengthening of the process infrastructure providing build and support services.
The approach for the first two strands is shown in Figure 2-2. The figure shows an Incremental CDR, which
covers any changes to the pilot design. The changes in design and processes are to provide a more robust
LANTERN infrastructure commensurate with the larger scale of operations. The LANTERN Service Expansion
does not propose changes in design to add new functions, but rather to strengthen the implementation of existing
LANTERN functions. Integration of the MFR with GPRS and the SRAS software takes place in the UK, while
MFR/Central integration and test takes place in parallel in the US. After the Central interface is proven (factory
test in the IDENT1 Fairfax facility to test the device functionality and Central search functionality without
SRAS), then the complete integration is performed in the UK.

Figure 2-2 LANTERN Implementation Approach
Northrop Grumman will test the LANTERN functions including the communications infrastructure. The system
test will run against the production IDENT1 data on the LANTERN KBMs seeded with a few individuals to
allow testing using searches returning respondents and those with no respondents. At the completion of the
system test and subsequent review, the phased rollout will commence as set out in a schedule to be agreed. The
Fairfax test bed will be updated to reflect the operational configuration.
2.3 Pricing Structure
Northrop Grumman has designed its commercial offer to the Authority to enable them to tailor the procurement to
fit an undisclosed budget. The approach used segments the fixed cost (not dependant on quantity) and the
variable costs (depended on the quantity of MFRs and service). This is a logical approach because the costs of
the MFRs and of the corresponding matchers to process their search volume represent a major share of the total
cost.
Fixed costs include non-recurring and recurring costs incurred for project activities regardless of MFR quantity
and provides for technical engineering, development, and program management to support the Service Expansion
over the contract term. The majority of these fixed costs will be expensed in the first year to move the
LANTERN capability from a Pilot to an Operational Service delivery. The fixed costs cover development of
refinements to the existing LANTERN functionality, and first article verification activities of integration and test.
Fixed costs also cover the implementation of a more robust project infrastructure suitable to support the expanded
scale of operations of the LANTERN Service Expansion.
Variable costs include a wide range of costs incurred per the incremental deployment of the MFR quantities.
Variable costs include not only the MFR itself, but also the Central upgrades along with the matchers (KBM kit
and software licences) needed to process the higher search volumes expected from a larger number of MFRs, and
the associated labour to prepare and support the deployed MFRs.
The unit cost per MFR is lower at higher quantities due to economies of scale, wider amortisation of fixed costs,
and progressive discounts from our suppliers.

Some non-recurring activities are necessary to move beyond the waivers and compromises that were accepted for
the pilot, and into a more expanded deployment. These include changes in the Certificate Authority and user
level authentication, extension of load balancing to use resources most efficiently, resolution of operational issues
that were identified during pilot usage, and consolidation of LANTERN metrics to enable more effective use even
as the data grows. A mix of fixed and variable costs cover activities to continue and strengthen the services
provided to ensure successful LANTERN operations including Service Desk incident response and management,
as well as trouble ticket escalation needed to resolve problems. Deployment of new MFRs is supported by
integration, testing, build, installation and commissioning of MFRs and Central resources.
To keep training and service economical in the face of an enlarging scale of operations, we have included
development of computer-based training (CBT), which can be replicated inexpensively on CD for the additional
Force IT and trainer personnel, and an enhanced distributed support model to handle the scale of the larger and
more dispersed complement of MFRs.
The approach has been planned for compatibility with future implementations that may be dictated by even larger
deployments, added functionality or extended period of service. These include such activities as:
• Source selection and certification of multiple MFR types
• Supplanting of GPRS as the wireless link for LANTERN
• Central facility upgrades of space, power and HVAC
• Extension of service period beyond the proposed period of performance
• Technical refresh of the MFRs
• Implementation of new desirable LANTERN functions such as photo capture or GPS geo-location
• Instantiation of service level requirements (SLR).
Because of the complexity and number of issues that require further discussions between Northrop Grumman and
the Authority, these are not priced at this time.
The costing is based on a contract start date of 1 April 2008, and a period of performance of 3 years concluding
on 31 March 2011. Services from the full MFR quantity desired must be ordered at the outset in order to allow
the economies on which the pricing is based.
3. Component Provision
3.1 Mobile Fingerprint Readers (MFRs)
Mobile Fingerprint Readers (MFRs) from SAGEM Sécurité (SAGEM) have been used in the LANTERN pilot.
The first generation MR100 was criticised for losing its software load when the battery was allowed to run flat by
failure to recharge it promptly. The second generation MR100b solved that problem by storing software in a non-
volatile memory. The third generation is offered for the LANTERN Service Expansion. It also uses non-volatile
memory, and adds an industrial grade PDA computer to the handheld unit. It uses a modem that is integral to the
PDA rather than an external peripheral. This measure will avoid problems of compatibility between the modem
and the operating system. It also has a camera, which opens future opportunities for operational benefits such as
local facial image capture to link subjects to searches, transmission of photos from LANTERN to Central
facilities for further uses such as facial recognition or sharing with a facial image database (e.g., FIND).
An alternate MFR source, Cross Match Technologies, Inc. (Cross Match), was evaluated during CCN009
“LANTERN Pilot Phase 2 - Specification Phase”. It was offered as an option under CCN014R2, but was not
exercised by the Authority.
A plan for certification of multiple MFRs has been discussed with the Authority, but is not proposed for this
phase of LANTERN. Northrop Grumman offers to discuss with the Authority its role in this important
endeavour. We believe that development of multiple MFR sources can result in risk reduction and substantial

cost savings, especially at large MFR quantities, because it will improve procurement stability and encourage
price competition. The non-recurring cost for this is not included in the price for the LANTERN Service
Expansion.
3.2 Secure Infrastructure
One of the Authority’s challenges in providing mobile identification has been the incorporation of a security
infrastructure providing authentication and a secure communications path for the mobile environment. A secure
infrastructure is required for police mobile communications and is not limited to LANTERN Pilot Phase 2. As
part of PNN3, Cable and Wireless (C&W) implements such an infrastructure (Secure Remote Access Solution –
SRAS) designed to work with PDAs. As the SRAS was used in the LANTERN pilot, Northrop Grumman
assumes this infrastructure is suitable for use in this LANTERN Service Expansion phase.
The Authority shall provide all SRAS deliverables as required for this LANTERN Service Expansion phase,
including the approved SRAS software (Credant Mobile Guardian and Aventail VPN) in versions compatible
with the MFR, to Northrop Grumman as Customer Furnished Equipment/Customer Furnished Information
(CFE/CFI).
The Schedule sets out the critical date(s) by which these items are required from the Authority. Northrop
Grumman’s ability to meet the Schedule is dependent on the receipt of these items meeting the LANTERN
Service Expansion requirements and quantities, by the critical dates set out in the Schedule. Accordingly,
Northrop Grumman will not be held responsible for any delays to the Schedule due to delays beyond the critical
dates set forth for receiving these items from the Authority.
3.3 Data Connectivity
The LANTERN Pilot Phase 2 - Implementation Phase utilised General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
connectivity, which was already in use at the selected pilot Forces. The intent was to capitalise on Force
investments in mobile data connectivity. Whilst alternate radio links are under investigation by the Authority and
could be adopted in the future for LANTERN, GPRS has performed satisfactorily in the pilot and is the proposed
connectivity method for the LANTERN Service Expansion.
A minor improvement in the method of implementing subscriber information in the MFR for the specific cellular
provider used by the Force receiving the MFR, is being tried in the pilot expansion under CCN040. It centralises
the provision of SIMs by the Authority, which provides them to Northrop Grumman to install in the MFR prior to
shipment. This has advantages over the previous method in which each Force acquired their own SIMs for
LANTERN and the installation had to be done at the Force location. Advantages include faster build and setup,
lower travel costs, and elimination of the need to open the MFR case repeatedly for each build. The LANTERN
Service Expansion will also use this approach.
The Authority shall provide the liaison with the Forces. The Authority shall provide all Force and GPRS
hardware and software required for this CCN014R2 “LANTERN Pilot Phase 2 - Implementation Phase” to
Northrop Grumman as Customer Furnished Equipment/Customer Furnished Information (CFE/CFI).
Northrop Grumman’s ability to meet the Schedule is dependant on the receipt of all Force GPRS hardware and
software by the critical dates as set out in the Schedule.
Accordingly, Northrop Grumman will not be held responsible for any delays to the Schedule due to any delays
receiving this GPRS hardware and software from the Authority on or before the critical dates set forth and/or that
do not meet the LANTERN Service Expansion requirements.
