The UCS technical governance comprises a set of policies, processes, and standard definitions to establish consistency and quality in the development of architecture artifacts and documents. It provides guidance for the use of adopted industry standards and modeling conventions in the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Service Oriented Architecture Modeling Language (SoaML), including where the UCS Architecture deviates from normal UML conventions.
This document identifies the defining policies, guidelines, and standards of technical governance in the following subjects:
Industry standards adopted by the AS-4UCS Technical Committee: These are the industry standards and specifications adopted by AS-4UCS in the generation and documentation of the architecture.
UCS Architecture Development: UCS specific policies on the development of the UCS Architecture.
The AS-4UCS Technical Committee governance policies are intentionally minimal. The object is to provide direction specific to the intent and scope of developing architecture artifacts that follow a consistent set of specifications and industry best practices.
Standards are referenced within policies. Standards may place constraints on policies that are implemented by processes. Each process is intended to guide the development of architecture artifacts. For example, a standard may dictate that a UML diagram be modeled in a particular methodology using only approved stereotypes from the SoaML UML profile.
UCS technical governance applies to the following technical work products that are generated within the AS-4UCS Technical Committee. It is not applicable to third party developers, programs, or any other consumer of the UCS Architecture.
The technical governance applies to the following item:
○
UxS Control Segment (UCS) Architecture: Model AS6518: Structure, diagrams, packages, and artifacts shall be defined in individual policies.
NOTE: Examples in this document are correct per UxS Control Segment (UCS) Architecture: Architecture Technical Governance AS6522 content but may not necessarily reflect the latest revision of the UCS Architectural Model.
Rationale
This document is the SAE publication of the Department of Defense UAS Control Segment (UCS) Architecture: Architecture Technical Governance Version 2.5 (PR) approved for Distribution A public release 15.S-1859.
The AS-4UCS Technical Committee shall support the charter of the AS-4 Committee in the field of the Unmanned Systems (UxS) Control Segment (UCS). The UCS is defined as the system or family of systems that controls and monitors one or more unmanned systems and their payloads, where an unmanned system is defined as a vehicle that does not convey its pilot or operator, and a payload is defined as a device carried by the unmanned system to support its assigned mission. The scope of the AS-4UCS Technical Committee is to define UCS architectures and architecture frameworks, develop associated Technical Reports to support the UCS Ecosystem, and support alignment of the UCS architecture with peer architectures.
* 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.
