Module Task_A2A_Dispatcher
Tasking - The TASKA2ADISPATCHER creates and manages player TASK_A2A tasks based on detected targets.
1) #TASKA2ADISPATCHER class, extends #DETECTION_MANAGER
The #TASKA2ADISPATCHER class implements the dynamic dispatching of tasks upon groups of detected units determined a Set of EWR installation groups. The EWR will detect units, will group them, and will dispatch Tasks to groups. Depending on the type of target detected, different tasks will be dispatched. Find a summary below describing for which situation a task type is created:
- INTERCEPT Task: Is created when the target is known, is detected and within a danger zone, and there is no friendly airborne in range.
- SWEEP Task: Is created when the target is unknown, was detected and the last position is only known, and within a danger zone, and there is no friendly airborne in range.
- ENGAGE Task: Is created when the target is known, is detected and within a danger zone, and there is a friendly airborne in range, that will receive this task.
Other task types will follow...
3.1) TASKA2ADISPATCHER constructor:
The TASKA2ADISPATCHER.New() method creates a new TASKA2ADISPATCHER instance.
