SDR-4000 Software Communication Architecture (SCA) Option
SCA Board Support Package (BSP) and Core Framework for SDR-4000 Series

The SDR-4000 SCA option provides the necessary software components to develop and operate SCA-compliant waveforms on SDR-4000-based radios and development systems and includes:

CRC Canada’s implementation of the SCARI++ SCA Core Framework v2.2 ORBexpress RT from Objective Interface Systems, Inc. Green Hills INTEGRITY RTOS Spectrum's flexComm SDR-4000 SCA Board Support Package that includes an SCA Logical Device used to load, execute, and tear down waveform components on an SDR-4000 wireless modem

The SCA is an open, non-proprietary specification defined by the U.S. Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) program. It specifies software, hardware, security, and networking architecture requirements for open, programmable SDR systems with flexible, reprogrammable communication capabilities. Specifically, the SCA specifies a common framework to build-up, configure, connect and tear down distributed, embedded radio applications. The goals of the SCA include open system architecture, cost effective utilization of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, waveform portability, software reuse, interoperability with other communications systems, technology insertion and hardware abstraction.
