Abstract
A software framework for an autonomous system can include a sortie controller that receives a sortie spawn request from at least one of a station controller, a vehicle controller and a mission controller that are each in communication with at least one of a plurality external systems. The sortie controller can instantiate a given sortie spawn with a reference to a given station model in a set of station models, a given vehicle model in a set of vehicle models and a given mission model in the set of the mission models. The software framework can also include a plurality of functions defined by the station controller, the vehicle controller and the mission controller. Each function can be configured to operate on the sortie spawn. The software frame work can further include a plurality of capabilities. Each capability can includes a plurality of properties.
