The Contractor shall supply all the necessary hardware, firmware, and software for a completely integrated system, including a graphical user interface. The Contractor shall also supply user manual(s) that describe the hardware, programing examples, and calibration procedures with supplied wave gauges and maintenance procedures. While the Contractor is calibrating the system they shall provide concurrent on-site training for three (3) individuals of the CRREL technical staff.
Akamina Technologies, Inc. was identified as the only vendor capable of providing a wave generating framework that can be ported to the new wave system that utilized an electro-mechanical actuator with a servo. Akamina Technologies has the exclusive license for the Generalized Experiment control and Data Acquisition Package (GEDAP) that was developed by the National Research Council Canada, an internationally recognized hydrodynamic physical modeling laboratory.
