The method leverages the Docker containerization environment coupled with automatic configuration and deployment modules and a standardized autonomy framework. The result is a quickly-deployable, easily reconfigurable, and vehicle-agnostic autonomy solution for use when assets are shared and repeatedly re-baselining the system is necessary. For an initial implementation of the containerization system, we leverage the Mission-Oriented Operating Suite - Interval Programming autonomy framework.}}
