3. REQUIREMENT

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Suffield Research Centre 

(SRC) is seeking the services of a contractor for the design of a BigData proof of concept prototype software tool for the analysis of complex diagnostic measurements of biological and chemical agent data. The prototype tool would not necessarily be end-user compatible. It could require an expert or developer to demonstrate its function. DRDC SRC has been experimenting with colourimetric sensor arrays to identify an unknown
 against a library of known samples aspossible diagnostic or detection tools. Each data set has associated metadata (for example: time, quantity, mixture) which are not a priori predictable, which may also be u
seful to identify an unknown against a library of known samples. If the 
 prototype proof of concept is successful, SRC will consider optional development to deliver an operator usable system deployable on a portable computer (WIN7) or cell phone (IOS preferred). This tool will be a complete end-user system.
