JAUS Primer
The Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) started in 1995 as the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Ground Systems (JAUGS) under the UGV/S JPO. In 1997, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) established a charter for the JAUGS WG with initial drafts of the architectural documents being developed through 2002 when OSD recharters the Working Group as JAUS and increases the mandate to include all classes of unmanned systems.
In April 2004, the Society for Automotive Engineers adopts JAUS as part of the SAE standard under AS-4 and in April 2005 the US Navy mandated that all Unmanned Underwater Vehicle(UUV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles(USV) are to use JAUS.
The charter of the JAUS WG can be summarized as follows:
Purpose: The primary purpose of JAUS is interoperability: the ability to operate unlike systems with unlike controllers.
Product: A standard messaging set to support the rapid and cost effective development of unmanned systems.
Payoff: o More efficient development
o Reduced ownership cost
o An expanded range of vendors

JAUS focuses on message and service specification, supporting any network or communication system, and remaining independent of the following: Computing hardware and software; System configurations; Technologies; Communication mediums.
It is an open and available standard that focuses on interface definition.
The JAUS committee contains over 100 members and over 50 organizations.
The Reference Architecture (RA) contains the JAUS protocol message set which contains (JAUS 3-3):
* 23 System messages;
* 8 Datalink messages;
* 41 Vehicle messages;
* 18 Camera messages; and
* 20 Manipulator messages.
