OpenJAUS is proud to announce the release of OpenJAUS SDK v2023.0! With our 2019-06 release, we started releasing all of our JAUS implementation packages at the same time as a validated distribution and moved to a naming scheme based on the release date (YYYY-MM) of the distribution instead of specific version numbers. With this release, we make two changes to the way that we release the OpenJAUS SDK. First, we have replaced the use of the release month from the SDK version to a release number which starts at zero (0) and increases by one (1) for every release within a year. We found that knowing the release month wasn’t very useful and could lead to issues if there were two (2) releases ever occurred within the same month. This new versioning scheme removes that issue. Second, we now bundle the SDK as a single download. In previous releases, you had to download each JAUS implementation package separately based on the services you needed. As we look at adding new SAE documents and IOP versions, we saw that this could become a huge burden. As such, we will now package the OpenJAUS SDK as a single download which contains all …
OpenJAUS Releases SDK 2020-07
OpenJAUS is proud to announce the release of the 2020-07 distribution of our software development kit (SDK)! Starting with our 2019-06 release, OpenJAUS releases all of our JAUS implementation packages at the same time as a validated distribution and move to a naming scheme based on the release date of the distribution instead of specific version numbers. The term ‘OpenJAUS SDK’ is used as a blanket term to refer to all of our JAUS implementation libraries (SAE JAUS, IOP, AEODRS, etc) and represents our commitment to supporting all programs of record and ensuring that packages continue to work together as our customers expect. This latest release provides access to all the features you need to be SAE JAUS, IOP, and/or AEODRS compliant. There are also several bug fixes and updates to reduce the time developers spend on JAUS specific details and can instead focus on implementing cutting edge capabilities. A few highlights include: SAE JAUS Feature: Restart discovery process if the discovery server it registered with disappears Feature: Added CommandEvent support IOP v3 Bug Fix: Fixed scaled integer bugs in Communicator service Feature: Removed dependency on org.openjaus.ext.cpp library The OpenJAUS SDK continues to be the only commercially available implementation of the …
OpenJAUS Releases SDK 2019-06
OpenJAUS is proud to announce the release of the 2019-06 distribution of our software development kit (SDK)! Starting with this release, OpenJAUS will release all of our JAUS implementation packages at the same time as a validated distribution and move to a naming scheme based on the release date of the distribution instead of specific version numbers. Over the last few years, the number of programs of record utilizing JAUS has grown, prompting OpenJAUS to introduce additional software development packages to meet new demands; such as the RAS-G Interoperability Profiles and AEODRS packages. This has sometimes led to confusion with knowing which packages work together and some packages lagging others in terms of updates. In 2018, we switched to a semantic versioning scheme to alleviate confusion on dependency compatibility. This transition to a date-based naming scheme allows us to version each package independently without confusion with an ‘overall SDK version number’. Also, moving forward the term ‘OpenJAUS SDK’ will be used as a blanket term to refer to all of our JAUS implementation libraries (SAE JAUS, IOP, AEODRS, etc) and represents our commitment to supporting all programs of record and ensuring that packages continue to work together as our customers expect. This latest …

Industry Team Demonstrates AEODRS Increment 1 and SPAAR Robotic Systems to Navy EOD Officers
Officials from the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab and the US Navy announced Tuesday that the AEODRS Increment 1 and Spherical Platform for AEODRS Appliance Research (SPAAR) systems were successfully demonstrated for Joint Services EOD Action Officers in Indian Head, MD. The Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robotic System (AEODRS) is a family of interoperable EOD robotic systems. The AEODRS Increment 1 system is the first in a family of open-architecture robotic systems designed for interoperability and inter-changeability designed to enable rapid insertion of new technologies to the warfighter. The AEODRS Increment 1 system is currently in development by Northrop Grumman Remotec. The SPAAR robotic vehicle system provides a capability to the AEODRS program developed by GuardBot with support from OpenJAUS. The unique SPAAR robot provides a recon capability for difficult environments such as narrow culverts, marshes, swamps, coastal areas, and small bodies of water. GuardBot developed the SPAAR system based on its proprietary and patented spherical robotic vehicle technology. GuardBot SPAAR robots operate at up to 9 mph and have a range up to 200 meters. SPAAR’s quiet electrical propulsion has an endurance of up to 19 hours. OpenJAUS provided integration of the SPAAR architecture with the AEODRS system …
OpenJAUS Named 2017 Gator100 Honoree
OpenJAUS was named to the University of Florida’s 2017 Gator100 during a ceremony at UF’s J. Wayne Reitz Union Grand Ballroom.
