  • Dynamic runtime modular mission management
    Patent number: 10110703
    Abstract: There is a mission management system includes core software modules instantiable, configurable, and deployable at runtime to complete a mission objective. The system also includes asset platforms directable to complete the mission objective or another mission objective. An operational node is further included for instantiating and configuring the core software modules at runtime to direct the asset platforms to complete the mission objective or the another mission objective. The asset platforms are connectable to establish a session with the operational node to enable the direction. The configured software modules are migratable between the operational node and the asset platforms at runtime. A computer-readable medium is active across the system to provide architecture and processor-executable instructions for the instantiation, configuration, and deployment of software modules.
