Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of the requirement
The Department of National Defence (DND) requires analysis of lidar data obtained with the Neptec Obscurant Penetrating Autosynchronous LIDAR (OPAL) in a virtual synthetic environment.
The lidar data were obtained in June 2013 with the OPAL system mounted on the National Research Council (NRC) Aerospace helicopter, Flight Research Laboratory (FRL). The trial objectives were to demonstrate the see-through and see and remember capabilities of a ladar based technology solution to Degraded Visibility helicopter operations.
The goal is to identify an area suitable for helicopter landing in the presence of objects on the ground and under conditions of increasing dust concentrations. It is required to produce fused images of the Neptec OPAL Lidar with the Common Data Base (CDB) Operational Training Systems Provider (OTSP) and Medium to Heavy Lift Helicopter (MHLH) data bases developed by CAE for DND and to create movies (approximately 2 minutes each) of this data fusion for ten (10) flight trials.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that it meets the following requirements:
An existing capability (Software) to read OPAL data. An existing capability (Software) to read NRC Nav data. An existing capability (Software) to geo reference OPAL data. An existing capability (Software) to eliminate dust cloud lidar return from the scene. An existing capability (Software) to convert OTSP and MHLH common data bases to a format compatible to a data fusion and display software. An existing capability (Software and hardware) to produce and replay in real time the synthetic images produced by the helicopter environment, through playback of Opal, Nav data and OTSP and MHLH data bases as a function of time. An existing capability to produce videos of the synthetic images in a format compatible with standard PC video players. The work must be completed before March 31 2014.
