CCA Protocols

Software Communications Architecture/ SCA

Open architecture for portable software-defined radio waveforms.

Definition

SCA is the open architecture, originated under JTRS and now stewarded by the JTNC, that defines how waveform applications, the underlying operating environment, and radio hardware interact. SCA conformance allows a waveform certified on one radio to be ported to another with bounded effort and is a foundational standard for multi-waveform CCA control radios.
