1. Summary

MOD바카라 사이트™s Information Systems and Services (ISS) vision is to deliver information capabilities by developing closer alignment with industry partners. Through this CDE themed competition ISS is looking for a prototype solution to provide an unstructured and open-source data analytics platform for defence.

Your proposed solution should:

  • take in data from documents, raw files, scanned files and structured data sources
  • analyse data and integrate with multiple analysis tools using information structures provided by ISS
  • provide a configurable dictionary
  • visualise the data and its dependencies
  • allow further development of the platform
  • demonstrate innovation and interoperability to open standards

To achieve this you could customise commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), open-source or freely available products, or develop a customised solution with a partner organisation.

2. Total funding

Up to £250,000 in total is available for funding phase 1 of this competition. We expect to fund projects up to £50,000 that demonstrate a prototype and outline of the next phase of work that is required.

ISS intends to take forward successful outputs of CDE-funded projects from this themed competition for phase-2 funding. Subject to exploitable solutions being delivered from phase 1, it바카라 사이트™s anticipated that up to £2 million will be made available for phase 2. Funding will be considered on a per-project basis.

3. Competition close

Competition closes on Thursday 13 August 2015 at 5pm. Proposals must be submitted through the CDE online portal.
