Abstract: Embodiments relate to an autonomous action deployment system having one or more processors. The system includes a mission behavior manager (MBM) module and an autonomous action controller (AAC) module. A processor is configured to interface with one or more autonomous vehicle platforms. The MBM module is configured to receive a mission script that includes a text file, parse the text file into actions, create a data structure where each action exists as a node in a connected graph, validate that each node corresponds with a plug-in stored in a plug-in library specific to an autonomous vehicle platform, and generate an action request command. The AAC module is configured to receive the action request command and execute steps to accomplish the action request command for the autonomous vehicle platform via a corresponding driver.
