This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines a set of standard application layer interfaces called JAUS UMV 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 UMV Services represent the platform-specific capabilities commonly found in UMVs and augment the Mobility Service Set (refer to AS6009) which is platform-agnostic. At present, 12 services are defined in this document. While these services are presented alphabetically within this document, they also can be logically categorized as:

• Platform Description Services: This service provides information about the vehicle platform, including mobility limits and geometric properties:
  1. ○ Platform Specification Service.
• Propulsion and Driver Services: These services provide the control and monitoring capabilities to the vehicle’s propulsion system(s). These services can be applied selectively to facilitate primitive mobility teleoperation.
  1. ○ Propulsion Service,
  2. ○ Bucket Driver Service, and
  3. ○ Control Surface Service.
• Auxiliary Services: These services provide an interface to auxiliary sensors and devices, including depth sensors, annunciating devices, components such as generators, bilge pumps, ballast pumps, etc.
  1. ○ Annunciator Service,
  2. ○ CTD Sensor Service,
  3. ○ Compartment Sensor Service,
  4. ○ Sea State Sensor Service,
  5. ○ Bilge Pump Control Service,
  6. ○ Ballast Tank Control Service,
  7. ○ Power Plant Service, and
  8. ○ Anchor Service.
