Provision of a Computer Graphics Specialist

The Maritime Division, located at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Melbourne (Fishermans Bend), is modelling visible signatures of land vehicles.Different vehicles that may be considered for Australian Defence Force acquisition will produce different signatures, and DSTO wishes to be able to model the effects of different signatures in a variety of conditions.This signature modelling project requires the creation of synthetic computer graphic images and animations to demonstrate effects of different vehicle options and camouflage strategies in a variety of scenarios and environmental conditions.

This procurement will be critical to development of visible signature evaluation tools.Under this work package, DSTO seeks to procure the services of a computer graphics specialist to create synthetic images for the further development of visible signature evaluation software tools. This software will be used to assess the visible signature of various vehicle options to inform decision making for vehicle acquisitions. The research and development services of a professional with expertise in computer graphics are critical to supporting the program to deliver results in a timely manner.
