TITLE : MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF MILITARY PLATFORM SYSTEMS
AND BEHAVIOURS

Objectives

1.	Plan, implement, test, validate, verify, integrate and
document models of platforms, decoy cartridges, weapons and
sensors to study the protection and behaviours of certain
platforms as well as the mission results using modelling and
simulation;
2.	Design, develop, test, validate, verify and document software
components;
3.	Design and execute military scenarios;
4.	Analyze simulations;
5.	Collect data from real systems; and
6.	Manage and coordinate projects, which include, but are not
limited to, ensuring effective coordination between various
project stakeholders, determine the schedule and ensure that it
is adhered to, assign tasks and manage the development team.

Background/History

In order to respond to military requirements more directly, the
Defence experimentation Valcartier (DeV) section was created at
DRDC Valcartier. The purpose of the section, which works jointly
with defence scientists, is to transfer DRDC Valcartier
knowledge to the Canadian Forces more effectively. The DeV
section is committed to responding as best as possible to many
of their queries concerning their current and future platforms
and their equipment. Numerous projects have been set up to do
this. Because of its versatility and integration capability,
numerical simulation was one method selected to evaluate the
performance of current and future military systems. 

To be able to respond appropriately to clients using modelling
and simulation, models will need to be created, tested,
verified, validated and improved through iteration in order to
achieve the desired level of fidelity. Since these models must
accurately represent complex systems or phenomena, experimental
work is done in advance or in parallel in order to better
characterize the physics of the situation that is to be
reproduced. This characterization work may be entrusted to the
contractor.

The technical authority will decide on the optimal level of
fidelity based on available information and data. The desired
level of fidelity will be defined in the task authorizations.
The contractor will be able to benefit from DRDC Valcartier
expertise in terms of fine-tuning and validating the simulation
components.

On numerous occasions, the contractor will verify and validate
numerical models using a formal V&V process developed by DRDC
Valcartier (based on the MSCO process).

Additional Information :

The Work or a portion of the Work to be performed under the
Contract will be on an "as and when requested basis" using a
Task Authorization (TA).

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, 2017, inclusive.

Estimated amount of available funding for this contract :
$860,000.00, Applicable Taxes extra.

The contractor will work with software for which DRDC Valcartier
has site licences (RotorLib, 3D models, etc.). Also, the project
encourages continued integration into a database used by several
projects. The contractor shall be required to work in DRDC
Valcartier laboratories to collect data to be used to create
models. For this reason, classified and unclassified work must
be done at the DRDC Valcartier site.

Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier has
determined that any intellectual property rights arising from
the performance of the Work under the resulting contract will
belong to Canada.
