Description
Trade Agreement: Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) 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: TITLE : WORK IN ATMOSPHERIC OPTICS The objectives of this contract with task authorizations are as follows: 1) Carry out research work in the field of atmospheric optics relating to airborne and remote panchromatic, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging applications. 2) Provide tools to determine the atmosphere's effects on the formation of remote sensing images and tools for the correction or compensation of atmospheric effects in these images in order to derive as much information as possible from the images. This contract includes a firm portion and a task authorization portion. i. Firm portion The Contractor must carry out the three tasks described below. Task A: Estimation of the level of performance required for the atmospheric correction of thermal hyperspectral images for airborne sensors - 1) Determine a set of performance parameters required by atmospheric correction algorithms in the context of target detection for airborne remote sensing; 2) Construct a model that will provide the performance objectives to be attained for the parameters determined in objective 1) required by atmospheric correction algorithms in a specific detection context. Task B: Studies on atmospheric correction under difficult conditions - Provide a tool for determining whether, under specific operating conditions, thermal hyperspectral imaging in the LWIR wavelength range is practical based on the user's intended application (military). The intended application is the detection of gas, liquid and solid targets of all kinds. Task C: Simulation of the polarization characteristics of the radiation emitted by a target in thermal hyperspectral imaging - Determine the scientific and technical work that must be carried out, the potential prospects for developing atmospheric correction tools and techniques involving the use of polarization data in airborne thermal hyperspectral imaging as well as any problems likely to be encountered. ii. Tasks subject to the task authorization process The Contractor must provide the services described in tasks 3A to 3I below. The tasks will be carried out on an "as and when requested basis" through task authorizations (TAs). A TA may refer to more than one task and the same task may be repeated several times during the term of the contract. Task 3A: Theoretical studies of imaging-related atmospheric optics Task 3B: Processing and analysis of imaging data relating to atmospheric optics Task 3C: Development, implementation and testing of image processing algorithms Task 3D: Evaluation, validation and comparison of image processing algorithms Task 3E: Design and development of experiments in atmospheric optics Task 3F: Conducting experimental work in atmospheric optics Task 3G: Processing and analysis of ground data acquired during experiments Task 3H: Development and maintenance of measuring systems for the acquisition of ground-truth data Task 3I: Participate with the Technical Authority in international exchange programs The organization for which the services are to be rendered is Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier (DRDC - Valcartier). The period of the Contract is from date of Contract to March 31st, 2016, inclusive. Firm portion of the Work must be completed no later than 12 months after Contract award. Available funding for this contract : $150,000, GST extra, for the firm portion of the Work and $750,000, GST extra, for the portion of the Work to be performed on an "as and when requested basis" using a Task Authorization. Most of the work is to be carried out on site at Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier, located at 2459 Pie-XI Blvd North, Quebec City, Quebec. Pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2003, a Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form, must be submitted with the bid, by the bid solicitation closing date, for each individual who is currently on the Bidder's Board of Directors. The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
