Claim 11:
12. A cargo handling system configured for self-assessment and autonomous control, comprising:
a processor in operable communication with a plurality of sensing agents, the plurality of sensing agents configured to transmit a sensor data to the processor; and
an object database configured to store a sensor assessment for testing by the processor the plurality of sensing agents by comparing the sensor database against the sensor assessment, wherein the processor is configured to:
perform a first calibration assessment of the plurality of sensing agents to assess whether an operational status of the cargo handling system has occurred due to a failure of one or more of the plurality of sensing agents based on the testing,
perform a first system assessment to determine whether a level of autonomous control should be modified based on the first calibration assessment; and
reduce the level of autonomous control of the cargo handling system in an event one or more of the plurality of sensing agents has at least one of faulted or failed.
