Abstract :
Mission specification for autonomous or robotic vehicles can be fairly straightforward if everything goes well. However, if part of the mission fails for any reason, the vehicle must have some type of backup plan. Unfortunately, this failure planning adds to the complexity of the overall mission. We are developing the spreadsheet approach for mission specification to make failure planning as easy as possible for the user of the vehicle
