Job description

6.1 Development of C/C++ software to implement an ensemble algorithm.

The Contractor must develop software applications in C/C++ to access the existing DLLs of 5 SEI algorithms. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) will provide these DLLs at the start of the contract. These DLLs were developed by DRDC and its partners.

6.1.1 The Contractor must complete the following subtasks:

• Develop software applications in C/C++ to access DLL libraries.
• Develop software to input Radio Frequency files and pass them to the selected DLL for further signal processing.
• Display the results from DLLs in a Graphical User Interface and in plain text formats.
• Implement an ensemble SEI algorithm in C/C++ and display its results in plain text format.

6.2 Development of C/C++ software to compare each individual SEI algorithm.

The Contractor must develop software programs in C/C++, to compare the performance of 5 existing SEI algorithms.

6.2.1 The Contractor must complete the following subtasks:

• Develop a software application to record the results from all 5 existing DLLs and store them in a confusion matrix.
• Produce performance plots, such as Receiver Operating Characteristics, and produce a performance comparison report-based radar signals.
• Produce a technical report to describe all software implementations.

LANGUAGE OF WORK

English.

LOCATION OF WORK

The work must be performed on the Contractor site as much as possible. However, with the permission of DRDC, the Contractor will be allowed to work in the following DRDC office, under the conditions of the Canadian federal and provincial government COVID restrictions.
