MARITIME ACOUSTIC PROCESSING SYSTEM
Defence Research Development Canada Atlantic (DRDC - Atlantic)
has a requirement for ruggedized computers and servers (CPU's)
for sea-going systems for acoustic processing research and
display. The CPU's will form a processing and display cluster
of computers and must be sized to fit into the expected spaces
aboard ship. Although focussed on acoustic processing, it is
expected that the CPU's will be based on standard computing
components running applications and code in Linux (Ubuntu and
Red Hat Enterprise License) and Microsoft Windows environments.
The CPUs must meet MIL specs as they are expected to deploy for
extended periods from a few weeks to a few months at a time
aboard military and research ships.
There are 5 types of CPU's required in each system. The various
CPU's are expected to be built up from common components, such
as common motherboard, common processor, video cards etc. This
will allow for ease of maintenance and the ability to exchange
parts between units in the event of failures while the systems
are fielded at sea. The requirements for the CPU's are
described in the Request for Proposal with quantities to build 2
of our systems plus some spare parts.
It is requested that all the deliverables must be received on or
before 28 March 2013.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
