1. A method of autonomous operation of an earth moving machine (EMM) configured for shoving matter, said EMM comprising at least one implement, the method comprising:

  • (a) receiving a mission objective;

    (b) providing mapping data in respect of a mission area;

    (c) determining a position of said EMM in respect of said mission area;

    (d) determining, based on at least said mapping data and said mission objective, one or more segments within said mission area, wherein each segment is associated with a disposal point;

    (e) in respect of each of said one or more segments, based on at least the mission objective, the mapping data, a length of said segment and shoving capability data of said EMM, calculating an implement trajectory of said at least one implement along said segment, thereby enabling accumulation of matter by said at least one implement along said segment as said EMM progresses and disposal of said accumulated matter upon arrival at said disposal point.
