This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) discusses characteristics of data communications for the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS). This document provides guidance on the aspects of transport media, unmanned systems and the characteristics of JAUS itself that are relevant to the definition of a JAUS transport specification.
Rationale
The use of unmanned systems is a key component in a strategy to reduce exposing personnel to hazardous situations and harmful environments. Unmanned systems can also provide cost-effective solutions to the performance of repetitive tasks. As a result, a large number of unmanned system products are being introduced to the market. Many of these systems are characterized as task specific and non-interoperable. An open standard for unmanned systems is required to support the rapid and cost-effective development and maintenance of unmanned systems.
The Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) defines a suite of standards for use in the research, development, design, acquisition and deployment of unmanned systems. Information Reports (such as this document) discuss aspects of JAUS and the environments in which JAUS operates; these reports should be viewed as guidance to those who would wish to understand the derivation of current standards and/or to extend the JAUS standards into new areas.
This document, the JAUS Transport Considerations report, discusses the concerns and characteristics that are important in the design of transport standards for JAUS messages between JAUS-compliant entities. This document provides reference and background information pertaining to the design of such transports. This document should be considered an adjunct to the JAUS Transport Specification standard.
This is a living document. Subsequent revisions of this document will identify and discuss transport needs uncovered in the definition of additional specific transports.
The AS-4JAUS Technical Committee supports the charter of AS-4 (Unmanned Systems) by developing standards enabling external and internal interoperability between Unmanned Systems and their subsystems and payloads. JAUS employs a service oriented architecture approach, representing unmanned system capabilities as defined services with defined message-based interfaces. The standardization of these service and interface definitions facilitates the development of modular systems with increased interoperability; the use of standard services and their interfaces also facilitates rapid technology insertion.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
