- Description
- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (DOC) NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS) PACIFIC ISLANDS FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER (PIFSC) ECOSYSTEM SCIENCES DIVISION (ESD) � STATEMENT OF NEED PSD Bluetooth mobile app 2020 PURPOSE: A mobile app that reads the Bluetooth signal from Yosensi.io BoRa (Bluetooth and Lora) tags/sensors and displays the corresponding animal ID BACKGROUND: Like many NMFS protected species programs, the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center�s Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program (HMSRP) and Marine Turtle Biology and Assessment Program (MTBAP) use various tags in stock assessments of their respective species. One problem with traditional flipper tagging or shell/fur marking is it requires scientists to record the data or the public to observe and then report the information. We will use Bluetooth+LoRa (Long Range) tags to improve remote species detection, identification, and reporting. We require a mobile app to turn mobile devices into animal/tag detection and reporting tools. This will harness the power of citizen scientists to support NMFS� stock assessment requirements while avoiding animal disturbance and laying a foundation for robust automated remote population monitoring. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: We require a Bluetooth (BLE) mobile app this is compatible with Android versions, 7, 8.1 and 9 and shall have the following features Ability to read the Bluetooth (BLE) signal from the Yosensi.io BoRa (Bluetooth and Lora) tags/beacons Ability to assign up to 25 tags/beacons to seals IDs consisting of 8 characters and turtle IDs consisting of up to 20 characters Ability to pull up the animal ID corresponding to the tags within the maximum Bluetooth range of the phone that are transmitting. The animals should be ordered according to the distance from the phone, with the closest one showing first. Ability to sync the assigned tags with other devices that have the same app when an internet connection is available. The default view of the app should show the Seal IDs in the maximum Bluetooth range of the phone sorted by the closest one. A second tab should show the Turtle IDs in the Bluetooth range of the phone sorted by the closest one. A third tab should allow associating animal IDs with the Bluetooth ID of the tag/sensor The app shall be designed in such a way that it can be used with Apple iOS devices in the future as well. This Bluetooth app shall be side loaded on to the phones for the scope of this project. DELIVERY SCHEDULE: September 30, 2020 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: The app developer must be conversant with Yosensi.io Bluetooth tags/sensors. On completion of the contract, the application and its source code will become the property of the United States Government. This location is in Hawaii.
