NewsNovember 03, 2025
ARLINGTON, Virginia. AeroVironment (AV) will integrate the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) standard into its AV_Halo Command software through a collaboration with OpenJAUS to enhance interoperability across uncrewed systems, the company announced in a statement.
The effort will combine AV_Halo Command’s modular software and application programming interfaces with the OpenJAUS software development kit to enable compatibility with JAUS-compliant platforms, the statement reads. According to the company, the integration supports a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and is intended to simplify how original equipment manufacturers connect platforms and payloads to command and control systems.
AV says the update will allow AV_Halo Command users to monitor and operate more than 25 uncrewed systems from multiple manufacturers through a single interface when paired with AV’s Tomahawk ground control system hardware. The company adds that the system is designed to be platform-agnostic and supports integration of additional payloads, sensors, and artificial intelligence capabilities.
AV_Halo Command is currently compatible with systems from Parrot, Ghost Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Skydio, QinetiQ North America, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, and other suppliers, the company says.
