Tendering Procedures: The bidder must supply Canadian goods
and/or services
Attachment: None
Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
(a) Title: Improvement of the Airborne Optronic Sensor
Performance Predictor
(b) Objective:
The objective of the contract is to improve the airborne EO/IR
sensor performance predictor, primarily with regard to
characterizing and modelling the sensors and calculating
transmittance and radiance.
(c) Tasks:
This task authorisation contract include the following firm
tasks:
Task A: Characterizing and testing sensors
Task B: Modelling the sensors
Task C: Improving radiance and transmittance calculations
Task D: Calculating the DRI and updating the Predictor
Task E: Assist the Scientific Authority with national and
international relations
This task authorisation contract include the following
"as-requested" tasks:
Task A: Charactierizing new sensors (following the example of
the work requested in Task 3A)
Task B : Calculating DRI: for refining the model developed in
Task B
Task C: Reviewing the model for calculating radiative transfer
for varying conditions of distance , or on integrating it into
the EOSPEC environment.
Task D : Improving the physical and computer models of the
EOSPEC modules in relation to the modelling of atmospheric
profiles, calculations of refractive effects, calculations of
atmospheric radiances and luminances with or without SMARTi, or
the calculation of background radiance.
Task E : Improving or updating to the Predictor; the work may
involve the user interface (HMI), modelling of sensors,
characterization and modelling of targets and backgrounds, and
factoring in EC environmental data.
Task F : Taking measurements for experimental validation of
EOSPEC and the Predictor.
Task G : Performing validation analysis using experimental data.
Task H : Assisting the Scientific Authority in his or her
national and international relations and relations with the
client.
For each of the above task many sub-tasks are associted.
(d) Work location:
The work of this contract must be performed at DRDC Valcartier
(2459 Bravoure Road, Québec, QC, Canada, G3J 1X5).
(e) Client department :
The services will be rendered to Defence Research and
Development Canada (DRDC-Valcartier).
(f) Period of the contract :
The period of the contract is from the date of the contract to
March 31, 2017 inclusive.
(g) Estimated funding available
The maximum funding available for the contract resulting from
the bid solicitation is $200,000.00 CAD for the firm portion of
