    Description

    Development Canada (DRDC) Ottawa is performing Research and Development (R&D) in five Quantum Technology Areas in support of defence applications. This requirement is to provide research and development support on an “as and when requested” basis to DRDC Ottawa Research Centre for a period of two years with three option periods of one year each.

    The R&D is related to quantum sensing and related areas (specifically, quantum-enhanced and novel quantum-inspired classical sensing) to support the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)/Department of National Defence (DND) in concept development and the specification of future systems/fleets in terms of equipment modernization and recapitalization.

    To date, the R&D has been very active in the areas of quantum sensing; however, most of the work has been done using metrics that are not relevant for sensor performance in practice. In particular, little guidance is provided in terms of credible performance prediction theory for a sensor based on a quantum-enhanced protocol backed by real experimental data collected in laboratory or outdoor field trials.

    The objective of this requirement is to provide research and development support on an “as and when requested” basis to DRDC Ottawa Research Centre in the

    1. investigation of novel quantum sensing protocols and related areas;
    2. development of credible performance prediction theory for potential quantum sensor design that is validated with experimental data; and,
    3. the generation and processing of real data.

    Up to three contracts may be awarded as a result of this solicitation.
