Wireless Innovation Forum Publishes Report on SCA and SOSA® Interoperability for Military Communications
New Concept of Operations Document Details Integration Scenarios for Advanced Defense Systems
Washington, DC, 24 September 2025 – The Wireless Innovation Forum’s (WInnForum) Software Defined Systems Committee today announced the release of a technical report providing a comprehensive Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for integrating Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliant waveform applications within ecosystems designed under the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA®) Technical Standard. This initiative is crucial for enhancing military communication systems through improved interoperability. The project was chaired by Kevin Richardson of MITRE.
“This new technical report is a significant step forward in ensuring seamless interoperability between SCA and SOSA standards,” says Sarvpreet Singh of Viavi Solutions, the Software Defined Systems Committee chair. “By detailing the functional operation and providing concrete CONOPS scenarios, we are enabling the stakeholders of the military community to leverage the full potential of both architectures for enhanced communication systems.”
