13. A machine fleet planning and controlling system, comprising:
-
a plurality of machines, each machine configured to compute (i) a plurality of system capabilities and (ii) a machine mission capability from the plurality of computed system capabilities, each machine further configured to transmit data representative of the plurality of system capabilities and data representative of the machine mission capability; and a central management processor configured to receive the data representative of the plurality of system capabilities and data representative of the machine mission capability, and further configured to (i) assign a mission to each machine of the plurality of machines and (ii) selectively reassign the mission of one or more of the machines based on the computed machine mission capability of each machine. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
