Claim Text:
1. A system for operating an aircraft autonomously, comprising: a plurality of aircraft systems; and an autonomous pilot processing unit configured to: acquire first model data representative of a first behavior model comprised of at least one first parameter; acquire second model data representative of a second behavior model comprised of at least one second parameter; acquire input data representative of at least one aircraft system parameter from at least one of the plurality of aircraft systems, where the input data is acquired through the second behavior model, and the at least one second parameter is associated with at least one aircraft system parameter; monitor the plurality of aircraft systems for expected operations, where the expected operation of each aircraft system is indicated by a correlation between the at least one second parameter and the at least one aircraft system parameter associated with the at least one second parameter; generate output data representative of at least one command in response to a lack of correlation between at least one second parameter and at least one aircraft system parameter associated with the at least one second parameter; and provide the output data to at least one aircraft system of the plurality of aircraft systems to control each aircraft system of the plurality of aircraft systems not operating according to its expected operation.
