Systems and methods for self-contained mission management

A method comprising:

• communicatively coupling a mission manager including one or more mission manager APIs communicatively coupled to a plurality of avionics LRUs to one or more external avionics services via a data gateway to receive one or more updated mission conditions at the mission manager;
• registering at least one of the plurality of avionics LRUs with one or more of the mission manager APIs;
• receiving, at the mission manager, one or more updated mission conditions from the external avionics services via the data gateway;
• and
• providing one or more of the one or more updated mission conditions to the registered avionics LRU based on one or more of an updated mission plan and an unexpected update to the mission condition.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of avionics line-replaceable units (LRUs);
• a mission manager comprising one or more application programming interfaces (API) communicatively coupled to one or more applications;
• a processing device, capable of executing one or more machine readable instructions;
• and
• a memory storing one or more machine readable instructions, that when executed by the processing device cause the system to:
• receive, at the mission manager, a request to register one or more applications via one or more of the application programming interfaces, wherein acceptance of the request to register enables the mission manager to provide mission condition updates the applications;
• provide mission condition updates to the application based on the registration of the one or more applications to the mission manager via the application programming interfaces;
• and
• receive one or more changes to a mission condition from one or more aircraft systems and provide a mission condition update to the application based on receipt of the changes to the mission condition, wherein the provision of the mission condition update to the application is based on a magnitude of the received one or more changes to the mission condition.
