ABSTRACT

The Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) Operator Control Units and Payloads Committee (will be conducting a series of experiments to expedite the production of cost-effective interoperable unmanned systems, user control interfaces, payloads, et cetera. The objective of the initial experiment will be to demonstrate teleoperation of heterogeneous unmanned systems. The experiment will test Level 1 compliance between multiple JAUS subsystems and will include unmanned air, ground, and surface vehicles developed by vendors in the government and commercial sectors. Insight gained from participants initial planning, development,  integration phases will help identify areas of the JAUS standard which can be improved to better facilitate interoperability between Operator Control Units (OCU) and unmanned systems. The process of preparing Mobius, an OCU developed by Autonomous Solutions, Inc., for JAUS Level 1 compliance is discussed.
