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
