This Technical Governance is part of the SAE UCS Architecture Library and is primarily concerned with the UCS Architecture Model (AS6518) starting at Revision A and its user extensions. Users of the Model may extend it in accordance with AS6513 to meet the needs of their UCS Products. UCS Products include software components, software configurations and systems that provide or consume UCS services. For further information, refer to AS6513 Revision A or later. Technical Governance is part of the UCS Architecture Framework. This framework governs the UCS views expressed as Packages and Diagrams in the UCS Architecture Model.

This revision of AS6513 concerns conformance to the SAE Unmanned Systems (UxS) Control Segment (UCS) Architecture Revision B, designated AS6512B (or later). The superseded AS6513A concerned conformance to the previous UCS Architecture, designated AS6512A. This document is the authoritative specification within the UCS Architecture for establishing conformance requirements for UCS products. The conformance of UCS products is determined by assessing the conformance of the UCS Product Description to the UCS Architecture. The UCS Product Description includes test artifacts.

This platform specific Interface Control Document (ICD) provides an example mapping to the Object Management Group’s (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) infrastructure middleware. The mapping is based on the Unmanned Systems (UxS) Control Segment (UCS) Architecture: Model, AS6518. A series of non-normative implementation choices have been made that are specific to this ICD. These implementation choices may not be appropriate for different system implementations. The machine readable ICD and result of this mapping and implementation choices are provided with AIR6521. Use and understanding of this document assumes a working knowledge of the UCS Architecture, the model structure and its contents.

This User Guide describes the content of the Enterprise Architect (EA) version of the UCS Architectural Model and how to use this model within the EA modeling tool environment. The purpose of the EA version of the UCS Architectural Interface Control Document (ICD) model is to provide a working model for Enterprise Architect tool users and to serve as the source model for the Rational Software Architect (RSA) and Rhapsody models (AIR6516 and AIR6517). The AIR6515 EA Model has been validated to contain the same content as the AS6518 model for: all UCS ICD interfaces all UCS ICD messages all UCS ICD data directly or indirectly referenced by ICD messages and interfaces the Domain Participant, Information, Service, and Non-Functional Properties Models

This User Guide describes the content of the Rational Software Architect (RSA) version of the UCS Architectural Model and how to use this model within the RSA modeling tool environment. The purpose of the RSA version of the UCS Architectural Interface ICD model is to provide a model for Rational Software Architect (RSA) users, derived from the Enterprise Architect (EA) ICD model (AIR6515). The AIR6515 EA Model, and by derivation, the AIR6516 RSA Model, have been validated to contain the same content as the AS6518 model for: all UCS ICD interfaces all UCS ICD messages all UCS ICD data directly or indirectly referenced by ICD messages and interfaces the Domain Participant, Information, Service and Non-Functional Properties Models

Governance of the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Control Segment (UCS) Architecture was transferred from the United States Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to SAE International in April 2015. Consequently, a subset of the UCS Architecture Library Release 3.4(PR) has been published under SAE as the Unmanned Systems (UxS) Control Segment (UCS) Architecture, AS6512. This Version Description Document (VDD) describes the correspondence and differences between the two architecture libraries.

The Use Case Trace (UCTRACE) is SAE publication AIR6519 of the Department of Defense Unmanned Control Segment (UCS) Architecture. This document is the SAE publication of the Department of Defense UAS Control Segment (UCS) Architecture: Use Case Trace (UCTRACE) Version 3.4(PR) approved for Distribution A public release 15.S-1859. This information is produced from a script run against the System Use Case Model contained in the UCS Architecture Model AS6518-MODEL.eap configuration item. The System Use Case Model includes, at its lowest level of elaboration, use cases Level 2/3 (L2/L3) that describe specific scenarios of message exchanges between Actors and internal system Participants via ServiceInterfaces. These message exchanges provide a way to create detailed traces that answer the question: “What UCS service interfaces must my components implement to satisfy functional requirements represented by a given Level 2/3 UCS use case?”
