What is being bought

Published requirement description

UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, for the provision of research and development consultancy services to the UKAEA.

The project seeks to apply state of the art methods and techniques from the field of uncertainty quantification to the development of real-time plasma control systems.

The goal is to develop specific software components which must integrate effectively with existing control frameworks developed in C++. There is some flexibility in exactly how the new capabilities should be interfaced but the resulting system is required to have highly deterministic behaviour with bounded latency and jitter suitable for deployment in the plasma control environment.
