What does SCA stand for?

The JTRS is built on the software communications architecture, a nonproprietary open systems architecture.

Specific topics covered include an active space recycling mechanism for flash storage systems in real-time application environment; optimization of hierarchically scheduled heterogeneous embedded systems; elements of an extreme scale wireless sensor network; extended software communications architecture for QoS support in SDR signal processing; feedback control static scheduling for real-time distributed embedded systems; model-based development of automotive embedded systems in the case of continuously variable transmission; and data collection with battery and buffer consideration in a large scale sensor network.

What sets it apart, however, is its compliance with the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Software Communications Architecture (SCA).

Operating on the JTRS Software Communications Architecture, the AN/PRC-117G manpack adheres to the DoD's open-standards approach to radio technology, allowing easy integration of pre-planned upgrades that include the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS).

Christensen has been involved in SDR development beginning with the SpeakEasy program and the Programmable Modular Communications System (PMCS) guidance document, the forerunner to the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Software Communications Architecture (SCA).

This radio is compliant with the JTRS Software Communications Architecture and adheres to the DoD's open-standards approach to radio technology," said Steve Marschilok, President, Department of Defense Business Unit, Harris RF Communications.

org), a nonprofit international industry association dedicated to promoting the success of next-generation radio technologies, announced today that it will host an all-day workshop on Software Communications Architecture (SCA) test, evaluation and certification.
