SAE AS8024

This document defines a set of standard application layer interfaces called JAUS Autonomous Capabilities Services. JAUS Services provide the means for software entities in an unmanned system or system of unmanned systems to communicate and coordinate their activities. The Autonomous Behaviors Services represent the platform-independent capabilities commonly found in platforms across domains, including air, maritime, and ground. At present five (5) services are defined in this document. These services are: Comms Lost Policy Manager: Detect and recover from loss of communications with a control station Retrotraverse: Return along a path previously traveled Self-Righting: Attempt to recover from a tip over condition Cost Map 2D: Provides information about the current operating environment of the platform Path Reporter: Provides information about the previous or future planned path of the platform This document, the JAUS Autonomous Capabilities Service Set (AS8024), defines a message-passing interface for services commonly found in unmanned vehicle systems. These services represent the platform-independent capabilities common across multiple vehicle types, including air, sea, and ground. Inherited capabilities are specified in the JAUS Core Service Set (AS5710) and are frequently referenced herein. AS8024 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.
