STRS Benefits
- Increase the reliability and decrease the development time and cost of deployed Software Defined Radio (SDR) capabilities
- Leverage existing or developing standards, resources, and experience
- Enable waveform portability between compliant SDR platforms
- Obtain artifacts from STRS Application Repository for porting or reuse
- Leverage software and firmware design and implementation processes and tools to lower risk and increase reliability
- Gain knowledge from past experience i.e. lessons learned
- Gain experience that is directly transferable
- SDRs accommodate advances in SDR capabilities with minimal rework
- Adaptable to evolving requirements
- Allows software modification later in development cycle or even after deployment
- Enables cognitive radio concepts
- SDRs are common in commercial and military industries
- SDRs allow encapsulation of functionality.
- Allows vendors to work on different parts of the radio at once
- Allows updates to one part not to affect the other parts of the radio
- Promotes multiple vendors and vendor independence
- Interoperable with existing radios
