Role Duties and Responsibilities D1- Updated, maintained, and release-ready NIRIS software baseline aligned with supported Java LTS releases. Output: Updated, maintained, improved, and release-prepared NIRIS software modules delivered in accordance with agreed requirements, assigned work items, technical guidance, project priorities, release planning, and supported Java Long-Term Support (LTS) runtime requirements. This includes software development, defect correction, stabilization, integration into the relevant NIRIS baseline or release branch, and Java module updates, refactoring, or uplift where required to maintain compatibility with the agreed Java LTS version used by NIRIS. The deliverable also includes the implementation or integration of agreed functional enhancements within the NIRIS baseline, including CESMO integration and historic track data capabilities, where included in the agreed release scope. For the historic track data capability, this includes enabling users to receive a potentially filtered set of tracks read and processed from storage where NIRIS recordings have previously been saved. The existing RTS subscription mechanism and corresponding user interface shall be enhanced, where required, to support these data sources and to allow filtering based on agreed parameters such as source name, time interval, geolocation, and track number. Outcome: The NIRIS software baseline remains functional, maintainable, secure, stable, and aligned with the agreed NIRIS roadmap and planned releases, including NIRIS 4.7 and NIRIS 4.8. The deliverable strengthens NIRIS interoperability and operational utility by enabling agreed enhancements such as CESMO integration and historic track data access.
