OpenJAUS 3.3.0

Now Available: The next-generation of OpenJAUS code!

Over a year in the making, OpenJAUS ver 3.3.0 was released on July 9, 2008. This release is based on the latest version of the JAUS Reference Architecture version 3.3 and has been rebuilt and redesigned to be more reliable, faster and more robust than ever.

JAUS Tool Set

Building JAUS tools for the future

The OpenJAUS Development team has joined with ONR, AFRL, the University of Florida and others to form a team dedicated to developing tools for the JAUS development community which coincide with the advances being done to the JAUS standard. As SAE AS-4 develops the JAUS Service Definition Interface Language (JSIDL) and JAUS Service Set (JSS), OpenJAUS is there with other industry and academic groups to provide free, open-source tools which comply to the latest standards.
