Abstract
Autonomous system (AS) will be in close future one of the main driver of progress in our society. However operationalization of AS in the military domain is still challenging because of not speaking the same language by all actors involved. The article deals with the importance of using the same existing standards and best practices in all phases of AS life cycle. Testing and deployment phase was the main object of the study. Gap analysis of common languages and standards related to entities in experimental frameworks was carried out and the missing areas of common languages were identified. In this context a new term of hybrid experimental framework was introduced as a key instrument to operationalize AS implementation in the current and future missions. Standards like Military Scenario Description Language, Coalition Battle Management Language, High Level Architecture, and Robot Operating System are discussed in relation to AS testing and deployment.
