Adelaide

Under the direction of DSTO staff, implement Image Processing algorithms, and contribute to improving and developing the DSTO's in-house developed Generic Real-Time Automatic Target Acquisition System (A2G GRATAS), used for modelling and simulation of Imaging Infrared Missile Seekers.

The proposed work programme is:

Using the A2G GRATAS tool, complete a study of real-life tactical data including publication-ready summaries and graphics.   Specific Image Processing modules developed to process this data will be carefully incorporated into the software framework of the tool;

enhance and modify the A2G GRATAS tool towards a Closed-Loop design, allowing it to more effectively interoperate with other DSTO software systems:

implement techniques for advancing the functional decomposition of the system's software architecture, enabling conversion of sub-systems to C++ modules and integration of additional C++ sub-systems (using MATLAB tools);

implement algorithms to advance DSTO's understanding of sophisticated Imaging Missile systems performance in demanding scenarios; and

provide technical support for A2G GRATAS, supporting DSTO Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Anti-Surface Warfare project team and schedule as directed.

Period of tender is seven months to 30 June 2010.

There are two periods for an Option to extend, each of 12 months or parts thereof.

The Commonwealth will exclude a tender from further consideration if the Commonwealth considers that the tenderer does not comply with:

a. the Commonwealth's security requirements set out in clause 1.13;
