Mission Requirements Input
• Mission Input
– Receive mission details from specialist
• Record details on whiteboard/UI medium
– Available mission profiles are displayed as icons
• Profile deemed ‘optimal’ is pre-selected. SDR feature set associated with the
mission profile is displayed.
• Gesture to or verbally accept or reject pre-selection
– If rejecting pre-selection and defining new mission profile
• Draw an icon to express a new profile and collection of sub-icons to represent the
set of SDR features associated with it
– Erase the whiteboard/UI medium to indicate completion of the mission
requirements stage

Physical Platform Selection
• Selection of physical platform to host the SDR
– Available physical platforms of various form factors and HW elements
associated with the selected mission profile are displayed as icons
• Applicable constraints and trade-offs, i.e. selecting a particular HW element may
preclude another from being selected, are displayed
• Gesture to, or verbally or graphically select the applicable physical platform after
performing HW resource trade-offs
– If desired platform is not available, draw a new icon to represent a new
platform
• List and provide details for its associated HW elements
– Erase the whiteboard/UI medium to indicate completion of this stage

SCA Devices Selection
• Selection of SCA Devices
– Available SCA Devices (abstraction of HW devices) associated with the
selected mission profile and physical platform are displayed as icons
• All applicable SCA Devices have been preselected
• Gesture or verbally accept or reject the preselection.
– If new mission profile, physical platform or rejecting preselection
• Missing HW abstractions are highlighted if new platform. A prompt for more details
is displayed.
• Draw icons to represent new SCA Devices that will provide the missing
abstractions
• Fill in all prompted details
– Erase whiteboard/UI medium to indicate end of this stage

SCA Services Selection
• Selection of SCA Services
– Available SCA Services (SW infrastructure of the SDR that performs specific
system support functions) associated with the selected mission profile are
displayed as icons
• All applicable SCA Services have been preselected
• Gesture or verbally accept or reject preselection
– If new mission profile, physical platform, new SCA Devices, or rejecting
preselection
• A prompt for more details is displayed.
• Draw icons to represent new SCA Services that will provide the missing
functionalities
• List out all applicable details on the whiteboard/UI medium
– Erase whiteboard/UI medium to indicate completion of this stage

Waveform Selection and Synthesis
• Waveform Selection
– Available waveforms associated with the selected mission profile are
displayed as icons
• All waveform features are displayed
– Waveforms deemed optimal for the mission profile have been preselected
• Gesture or verbally accept or reject preselection
– If accepting waveform selection, gesture or verbally accept or reject its
features
• If rejecting some features
• Draw icons to represent new features that will replace these
• or verbally confirm removal of these features from the waveform
– If rejecting waveform selection
• A prompt for more details is displayed.
• Draw icons to represent new waveform and its features as SCA Resources
• List out all applicable details on the whiteboard/UI medium
– Erase whiteboard/UI medium to indicate completion of this stage

SDR Architecture Synthesis
• Connectivity Definition
– High level connectivity view showing prefabricated interconnections between
SCA ports in the SDR Devices, Services and Resources associated with the
selected mission profile is displayed
• Gesture or verbally accept or reject this architecture
– If rejecting connectivity
• Gesture (trace boundary and point on the whiteboard/UI medium) to define scope
of architecture that needs to be changed
• Erase and redraw connections in the selected area as appropriate
– Erase the whiteboard/UI medium to indicate completion of this stage

Design Review
• Final SDR design is displayed
• Edit/add/delete in appropriate views as needed
• Gesture or verbally accept the final design
– This triggers automatic system synthesis, testing and deployment
