13:30 Standardisation Within Military Robotics

Many thousands of technical standards exist at regional, national and international levels, all playing an important part in facilitating advantages throughout the supply chain. A number of standards exist specifically for unmanned systems and many efforts such as the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) and NATO STANAG 4586 are becoming de-facto standards in this domain.

This workshop will provide an overview of these standards and look at how other programmes such as the Advanced EOD Robotic System (AEODRS) are using these standards to define a common architecture for use within the unmanned systems domain.

By attending this workshop you will gain awareness of some of the current efforts in military robotics standardisation. The workshop will provide an opportunity to listen to and discuss developments of standards for use within military robotics including logical, physical and electrical interfaces.
