Abstract
A system, device, and method for operating an aircraft autonomously are disclosed. The widget creating system may include a plurality of aircraft systems and autonomous pilot processing unit (APPU). The APPU may be configured to acquire first model data representative of either a combined strategic/operational behavior model or an operational behavior model; acquire second model data representative of an execution behavior model; acquire third model data representative of a strategic behavior model when a combined strategic/operational behavior model is not employed; acquire input data representative of at least one aircraft system parameter of each aircraft system of the plurality of aircraft systems, where the input data is acquired through the execution behavior model; monitor each aircraft system of the plurality of aircraft systems for an expected operation; and generate output data representative of at least one command provided to at least one aircraft system of the plurality of aircraft systems.
