Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of configuring an unmanned vehicle for a data collection mission for an asset or facility, the method comprising:
providing an initial hardware configuration recommendation based at least on expected weather conditions during the data collection mission;
implementing a dynamic simulation based at least on the initial hardware configuration recommendation, a mission plan, and parameters for the data collection mission to evaluate a success probability of the mission, the implementing comprising generating a series of simulations using a simplified model of the unmanned vehicle with insertion of randomness in aspects of the simplified model in individual simulations in the series, wherein the randomness comprises weather conditions and battery performance, and wherein the success probability is calculated by calculating a number of successful simulations against a total number of simulations in the series; and
generating, in response to determining that the success probability is below a predetermined threshold, a revised initial hardware configuration recommendation.
