--- ## AI_A2A constructor
+-- # 1) AI_AIR constructor
 --   
---   * @{#AI_A2A.New}(): Creates a new AI_A2A object.

--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia2.JPG)
+-- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
+-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
 -- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_A2A States
+-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
 -- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.
---   * **Stopped** ( Group ): The process is stopped.
---   * **Crashed** ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.
+--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
 -- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_A2A Events
+-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
+-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
+-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
 -- 
---   * **Start** ( Group ): Start the process.
---   * **Stop** ( Group ): Stop the process.
---   * **Route** ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **RTB** ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **Detect** ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **Detected** ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
+-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
 -- 
--- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
+--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
 --
---   * @{#AI_A2A.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.

+
+--- @type AI_AIR_PATROL
+-- @extends AI.AI_Air#AI_AIR
+
+
+--- The AI_AIR_PATROL class implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group} or @{Wrapper.Group} 
+-- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI_AIR_PATROL is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_PATROL process can be started using the **Start** event.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
+-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
+-- 
+-- This cycle will continue.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
+-- 
+-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
+--
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
+-- 
+-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
+-- 
+-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
+-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia13.JPG)
+-- 
+-- ## 1. AI_AIR_PATROL constructor
+--   
+--   * @{#AI_AIR_PATROL.New}(): Creates a new AI_AIR_PATROL object.

+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia2.JPG)
+-- 
+-- ### 2.1 AI_AIR_PATROL States
+-- 
+--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
+--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
+--   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
+--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
+-- 
+-- ### 2.2 AI_AIR_PATROL Events
+-- 
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.PatrolRoute}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
+--   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
+--
+-- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
+-- 
+-- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
+-- 
+-- An optional range can be set in meters, 
+-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
+-- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
+-- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
+-- Use the method @{AI.AI_CAP#AI_AIR_PATROL.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.
+--
+-- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement
+-- 
+-- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia12.JPG)
+--

+--   * Ships will follow shipping lanes as defined in the Mission Editor.
+--   * Multiple ships can transport multiple cargo as a single group.
+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- ## Test Missions: 
+--
+-- NEED TO DO
+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- ### Author: **acrojason** (derived from AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_APC by FlightControl)
+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Ship
+-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Ship.JPG
+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP
+-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER
+
+
+--- A dynamic cargo transportation capability for AI groups.
+-- 
+-- Naval vessels can be mobilized to semi-intelligently transport cargo within the simulation.
+--
+-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
+--
+-- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!
+--
+-- This will be particularly helpful in order to determine how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**.
+--
+-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framwork.
+-- Also ensure that you fully understand how to declare and setup Cargo objects within the MOOSE framework before using this class.
+-- CARGO derived objects must generally be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP object recognize the cargo.
+--
+--
+-- # 1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP constructor.
+-- 
+--   * @{AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.New}(): Creates a new AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP object.
+--
+-- ---
+--
+-- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP is a Finite State Machine.
+--
+-- This section must be read as follows... Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
+-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
+--
+-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
+--
+--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
+--
+-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
+-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
+-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
+--
+-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation:
+-- 
+--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
+--      
+--   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Load => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Loading => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Loaded => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => PickedUp => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Deploy => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Unload => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Unloaded => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Deployed => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Home => Monitoring
+-- 
+--      
+-- ## 2.1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER States.
+-- 
+--   * **Monitoring**: The process is dispatching.
+--   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
+-- 
+-- ## 2.2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER Events.
+-- 
+--   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
+--   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
+--   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.
+--   
+--   * **Pickup**: Pickup cargo.
+--   * **Load**: Load the cargo.
+--   * **Loading**: The dispatcher is coordinating the loading of a cargo.
+--   * **Loaded**: Flag that the cargo is loaded.
+--   * **PickedUp**: The dispatcher has loaded all requested cargo into the CarrierGroup.
+--   * **Deploy**: Deploy cargo to a location.
+--   * **Unload**: Unload the cargo.
+--   * **Unloaded**: Flag that the cargo is unloaded.
+--   * **Deployed**: All cargo is unloaded from the carriers in the group.
+--   * **Home**: A Carrier is going home.
+-- 
+-- ## 2.3) Enhance your mission scripts with **Tailored** Event Handling!
+-- 
+-- Within your mission, you can capture these events when triggered, and tailor the events with your own code!
+-- Check out the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER} class at chapter 3 for details on the different event handlers that are available and how to use them.
+-- 
+-- **There are a lot of templates available that allows you to quickly setup an event handler for a specific event type!**
+--

+-- # 3) Set the pickup parameters.
+-- 
+-- Several parameters can be set to pickup cargo:
+-- 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetPickupRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the pickup location for the Ship around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and optional inner radius. 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetPickupSpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to pickup the cargo.
+--    
+-- # 4) Set the deploy parameters.
+-- 
+-- Several parameters can be set to deploy cargo:
+-- 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetDeployRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the deploy location for the Ship around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and an optional inner radius. 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetDeploySpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to deploy the cargo.
+-- 
+-- # 5) Set the home zone when there isn't any more cargo to pickup.
+-- 
+-- A home zone can be specified to where the Ship will move when there isn't any cargo left for pickup.
+-- Use @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetHomeZone}() to specify the home zone.
+-- 
+-- If no home zone is specified, the Ship will wait near the deploy zone for a new pickup command.

+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Ship
+-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Ship.JPG
+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_SHIP
+-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO
+
+--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI naval group.
+--
+-- Naval ships can be utilized to transport cargo around the map following naval shipping lanes.
+-- The AI_CARGO_SHIP class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework. 
+-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission or warehouse to make the AI_CARGO_SHIP recognize the cargo.
+-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information.
+--
+-- ## Cargo loading.
+-- 
+-- The module will automatically load cargo when the Ship is within boarding or loading radius. 
+-- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation and depends on the type of 
+-- cargo and the specified boarding radius.
+--
+-- ## Defending the Ship when enemies are nearby
+-- This is not supported for naval cargo because most tanks don't float. Protect your transports...
+--
+-- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
+-- When cargo is unboarded from the Ship, the cargo is actually respawned into the battlefield.
+-- As a result, the unboarding cargo is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
+-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of newly spawned units as a parameter.
+-- However, cargo that was destroyed when unboarded and following the Ship won't be respawned again (this is likely not a thing for
+-- naval cargo due to the lack of support for defending the Ship mentioned above). Destroyed is destroyed.
+-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance
+-- this has marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Given the relatively short duration of DCS missions and the somewhat
+-- lengthy naval transport times, most units entering the Ship as cargo will be freshly en route to an amphibious landing or transporting 
+-- between warehouses.
+--
+-- ## Control the Ships on the map.
+-- 
+-- Currently, naval transports can only be controlled via scripts due to their reliance upon predefined Shipping Lanes created in the Mission
+-- Editor. An interesting future enhancement could leverage new pathfinding functionality for ships in the Ops module.
+--
+-- ## Cargo deployment.
+--
+-- Using the @{AI_CARGO_SHIP.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Deploy zone to unboard/unload the cargo at the
+-- specified coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.
+--
+-- ## Cargo pickup.
+--
+-- Using the @{AI_CARGO_SHIP.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Pickup zone to board/load the cargo at the specified
+-- coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.

+--   * Make escort to execute a defined mission or path.
+--   * Escort tactical situation reporting.
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Missions:
+-- 
+-- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/ESC%20-%20Escorting)
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
+-- 
+-- Each escorting group can be commanded with a complete set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
+--
+-- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with helicopters and airPlanes.
+-- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
+-- 
+-- Escorts detect targets using a built-in detection mechanism. The detected targets are reported at a specified time interval.
+-- Once targets are reported, each escort has these targets as menu options to command the attack of these targets.
+-- Targets are by default grouped per area of 5000 meters, but the kind of detection and the grouping range can be altered.
+-- 
+-- Different formations can be selected in the Flight menu: Trail, Stack, Left Line, Right Line, Left Wing, Right Wing, Central Wing and Boxed formations are available.
+-- The Flight menu also allows for a mass attack, where all of the escorts are commanded to attack a target.
+-- 
+-- Escorts can emit flares to reports their location. They can be commanded to hold at a location, which can be their current or the leader location.
+-- In this way, you can spread out the escorts over the battle field before a coordinated attack.
+-- 
+-- But basically, the escort class provides 4 modes of operation, and depending on the mode, you are either leading the flight, or following the flight.
+-- 
+-- ## Leading the flight
+-- 
+-- When leading the flight, you are expected to guide the escorts towards the target areas, 
+-- and carefully coordinate the attack based on the threat levels reported, and the available weapons
+-- carried by the escorts. Ground ships or ground troops can execute A-assisted attacks, when they have long-range ground precision weapons for attack.
+-- 
+-- ## Following the flight
+-- 
+-- Escorts can be commanded to execute a specific mission path. In this mode, the escorts are in the lead.
+-- You as a player, are following the escorts, and are commanding them to progress the mission while
+-- ensuring that the escorts survive. You are joining the escorts in the battlefield. They will detect and report targets
+-- and you will ensure that the attacks are well coordinated, assigning the correct escort type for the detected target
+-- type. Once the attack is finished, the escort will resume the mission it was assigned.
+-- In other words, you can use the escorts for reconnaissance, and for guiding the attack.
+-- Imagine you as a mi-8 pilot, assigned to pickup cargo. Two ka-50s are guiding the way, and you are
+-- following. You are in control. The ka-50s detect targets, report them, and you command how the attack
+-- will commence and from where. You can control where the escorts are holding position and which targets
+-- are attacked first. You are in control how the ka-50s will follow their mission path.
+-- 
+-- Escorts can act as part of a AI A2G dispatcher offensive. In this way, You was a player are in control.
+-- The mission is defined by the A2G dispatcher, and you are responsible to join the flight and ensure that the
+-- attack is well coordinated.
+-- 
+-- It is with great proud that I present you this class, and I hope you will enjoy the functionality and the dynamism
+-- it brings in your DCS world simulations.
+-- 
+-- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
+-- 
+-- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
+--
+-- ## Navigation ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort group navigation functions:
+--
+--   * **"Join-Up":** The escort group fill follow you in the assigned formation.
+--   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
+--   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
+--
+-- ## Hold position ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort group navigation functions:
+--
+--   * **"At current location":** The escort group will hover above the ground at the position they were. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
+--   * **"At my location":** The escort group will hover or orbit at the position where you are. The escort will fly to your location and hold position. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
+--
+-- ## Report targets ...:
+-- 
+-- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within detection range. Any detected target can be attacked using the "Attack Targets" menu function. (see below).
+--
+--   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
+--   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escorts to report the detected targets and will fill the "Attack Targets" menu list.
+--   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
+--
+-- ## Attack targets ...:
+-- 
+-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
+-- This menu will be available in Flight menu or in each Escort menu.
+--
+-- ## Scan targets ...:
+-- 
+-- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or rejoin formation.
+--
+--   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
+--   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
+--
+-- ## Request assistance from ...:
+-- 
+-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, similar as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
+-- This menu item allows to request attack support from other ground based escorts supporting the current escort.
+-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
+-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
+--
+-- ## ROE ...:
+-- 
+-- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
+--
+--   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
+--   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
+--   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
+--   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
+--
+-- ## Evasion ...:
+-- 
+-- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
+--
+--   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
+--   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
+--   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
+--   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
+--
+-- ## Resume Mission ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
+-- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

+-- 
+-- New spawned @{Static}s get **the same name** as the name of the template Static, or gets the given name when a new name is provided at the Spawn method.  
 -- By default, spawned @{Static}s will follow a naming convention at run-time:
 -- 
---   * Spawned @{Static}s will have the name _StaticName_#_nnn_, where _StaticName_ is the name of the **Template Static**, 
---   and _nnn_ is a **counter from 0 to 99999**.
+--   * Spawned @{Static}s will have the name _StaticName_#_nnn_, where _StaticName_ is the name of the **Template Static**, and _nnn_ is a **counter from 0 to 99999**.
 -- 
+-- # SPAWNSTATIC Constructors
 -- 
--- ## SPAWNSTATIC construction methods
+-- Firstly, we need to create a SPAWNSTATIC object that will be used to spawn new statics into the mission. There are three ways to do this.
 -- 
--- Create a new SPAWNSTATIC object with the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}():
+-- ## Use another Static
 -- 
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}(): Creates a new SPAWNSTATIC object given a name that is used as the base of the naming of each spawned Static.
+-- A new SPAWNSTATIC object can be created using another static by the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}() function. All parameters such as position, heading, country will be initialized
+-- from the static.
 -- 
--- ## **Spawn** methods
+-- ## From a Template
 -- 
--- Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
+-- A SPAWNSTATIC object can also be created from a template table using the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromTemplate}(SpawnTemplate, CountryID) function. All parameters are taken from the template.
 -- 
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2}(): Spawn a new group from a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. 
---   (The group will be spawned at land height ).
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone}(): Spawn a new group in a @{Zone}.
+-- ## From a Type
+-- 
+-- A very basic method is to create a SPAWNSTATIC object by just giving the type of the static. All parameters must be initialized from the InitXYZ functions described below. Otherwise default values
+-- are used. For example, if no spawn coordinate is given, the static will be created at the origin of the map.
+-- 
+-- # Setting Parameters
+-- 
+-- Parameters such as the spawn position, heading, country etc. can be set via :Init*XYZ* functions. Note that these functions must be given before the actual spawn command!
+-- 
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitCoordinate}(Coordinate) Sets the coordinate where the static is spawned. Statics are always spawnd on the ground.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitHeading}(Heading) sets the orientation of the static.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitLivery}(LiveryName) sets the livery of the static. Not all statics support this.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitType}(StaticType) sets the type of the static.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitShape}(StaticType) sets the shape of the static. Not all statics have this parameter.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitNamePrefix}(NamePrefix) sets the name prefix of the spawned statics.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitCountry}(CountryID) sets the country and therefore the coalition of the spawned statics.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitLinkToUnit}(Unit, OffsetX, OffsetY, OffsetAngle) links the static to a unit, e.g. to an aircraft carrier.
+--
+-- # Spawning the Statics
+-- 
+-- Once the SPAWNSTATIC object is created and parameters are initialized, the spawn command can be given. There are different methods where some can be used to directly set parameters
+-- such as position and heading.
+-- 
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.Spawn}(Heading, NewName) spawns the static with the set parameters. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromCoordinate}(Coordinate, Heading, NewName) spawn the static at the given coordinate. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2}(PointVec2, Heading, NewName) spawns the static at a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone}(Zone, Heading, NewName) spawns the static at the center of a @{Zone}. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!

+--
+-- # The TIMER Concept
+-- 
+-- The TIMER class is the little sister of the @{Core.Scheduler#SCHEDULER} class. It does the same thing but is a bit easier to use and has less overhead. It should be sufficient in many cases.
+-- 
+-- It provides an easy interface to the DCS [timer.scheduleFunction](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_scheduleFunction).
+-- 
+-- # Construction
+-- 
+-- A new TIMER is created by the @{#TIMER.New}(*func*, *...*) function
+-- 
+--     local mytimer=TIMER:New(myfunction, a, b)
+--     
+-- The first parameter *func* is the function that is called followed by the necessary comma separeted parameters that are passed to that function.
+-- 
+-- ## Starting the Timer
+-- 
+-- The timer is started by the @{#TIMER.Start}(*Tstart*, *dT*, *Duration*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Start(5, 1, 20)
+--     
+-- where
+-- 
+-- * *Tstart* is the relative start time in seconds. In the example, the first function call happens after 5 sec.
+-- * *dT* is the time interval between function calls in seconds. Above, the function is called once per second.
+-- * *Duration* is the duration in seconds after which the timer is stopped. This is relative to the start time. Here, the timer will run for 20 seconds.
+--  
+-- Note that
+-- 
+-- * if *Tstart* is not specified (*nil*), the first function call happens immediately, i.e. after one millisecond.
+-- * if *dT* is not specified (*nil*), the function is called only once.
+-- * if *Duration* is not specified (*nil*), the timer runs forever or until stopped manually or until the max function calls are reached (see below).
+--
+-- For example,
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Start(3)            -- Will call the function once after 3 seconds.
+--     mytimer:Start(nil, 0.5)     -- Will call right now and then every 0.5 sec until all eternity.
+--     mytimer:Start(nil, 2.0, 20) -- Will call right now and then every 2.0 sec for 20 sec.
+--     mytimer:Start(1.0, nil, 10) -- Does not make sense as the function is only called once anyway. 
+--
+-- ## Stopping the Timer
+--
+-- The timer can be stopped manually by the @{#TIMER.Stop}(*Delay*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Stop()
+--
+-- If the optional paramter *Delay* is specified, the timer is stopped after *delay* seconds.
+-- 
+-- ## Limit Function Calls
+-- 
+-- The timer can be stopped after a certain amount of function calles with the @{#TIMER.SetMaxFunctionCalls}(*Nmax*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(20)
+--
+-- where *Nmax* is the number of calls after which the timer is stopped, here 20.
+-- 
+-- For example,
+-- 
+--     mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(66):Start(1.0, 0.1)
+--     
+-- will start the timer after one second and call the function every 0.1 seconds. Once the function has been called 66 times, the timer is stopped.

+-- 
+-- Simple Class for a more intelligent Air Defense System
+-- 
+-- #MANTIS
+-- Moose derived  Modular, Automatic and Network capable Targeting and Interception System.
+-- Controls a network of SAM sites. Use detection to switch on the AA site closest to the enemy.
+-- Leverage evasiveness from @{Functional.Sead#SEAD}.
+-- Leverage attack range setup added by DCS in 11/20.
+--
+-- Set up your SAM sites in the mission editor. Name the groups with common prefix like "Red SAM".
+-- Set up your EWR system in the mission editor. Name the groups with common prefix like "Red EWR". Can be e.g. AWACS or a combination of AWACS and Search Radars like e.g. EWR 1L13 etc.
+-- [optional] Set up your HQ. Can be any group, e.g. a command vehicle.
+-- 
+-- # 1. Basic tactical considerations when setting up your SAM sites
+-- 
+-- ## 1.1 Radar systems and AWACS
+-- 
+--  Typically, your setup should consist of EWR (early warning) radars to detect and track targets, accompanied by AWACS if your scenario forsees that. Ensure that your EWR radars have a good coverage of the area you want to track.
+--  **Location** is of highest importantance here. Whilst AWACS in DCS has almost the "all seeing eye", EWR don't have that. Choose your location wisely, against a mountain backdrop or inside a valley even the best EWR system
+--  doesn't work well. Prefer higher-up locations with a good view; use F7 in-game to check where you actually placed your EWR and have a look around. Apart from the obvious choice, do also consider other radar units
+--  for this role, most have "SR" (search radar) or "STR" (search and track radar) in their names, use the encyclopedia to see what they actually do.  
+--  
+-- ## 1.2 SAM sites
+-- 
+-- Typically your SAM should cover all attack ranges. The closer the enemy gets, the more systems you will need to deploy to defend your location. Use a combination of long-range systems like the SA-10/11, midrange like SA-6 and short-range like 
+-- SA-2 for defense (Patriot, Hawk, Gepard, Blindfire for the blue side). For close-up defense and defense against HARMs or low-flying aircraft, helicopters it is also advisable to deploy SA-15 TOR systems, Shilka, Strela and Tunguska units, as well as manpads (Think Gepard, Avenger, Chaparral, 
+-- Linebacker, Roland systems for the blue side). If possible, overlap ranges for mutual coverage.
+-- 
+-- ## 1.3 Typical problems
+-- 
+-- Often times, people complain because the detection cannot "see" oncoming targets and/or Mantis switches on too late. Three typial problems here are  
+--  
+--   * bad placement of radar units, 
+--   * overestimation how far units can "see" and 
+--   * not taking into account that a SAM site will take (e.g for a SA-6) 30-40 seconds between switching to RED, acquiring the target and firing. 
+-- 
+-- An attacker doing 350knots will cover ca 180meters/second or thus more than 6km until the SA-6 fires. Use triggers zones and the ruler in the missione editor to understand distances and zones. Take into account that the ranges given by the circles
+-- in the mission editor are absolute maximum ranges; in-game this is rather 50-75% of that depending on the system. Fiddle with placement and options to see what works best for your scenario, and remember **everything in here is in meters**.
+-- 
+-- # 2. Start up your MANTIS with a basic setting
+-- 
+--    `myredmantis = MANTIS:New("myredmantis","Red SAM","Red EWR",nil,"red",false)`  
+--    `myredmantis:Start()`
+--    
+-- [optional] Use  
+-- 
+--  * `MANTIS:SetEWRGrouping(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetEWRRange(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetSAMRadius(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetDetectInterval(interval)`
+--  * `MANTIS:SetAutoRelocate(hq, ewr)`
+--        
+-- before starting #MANTIS to fine-tune your setup.
+-- 
+-- If you want to use a separate AWACS unit (default detection range: 250km) to support your EWR system, use e.g. the following setup:
+-- 
+--    `mybluemantis = MANTIS:New("bluemantis","Blue SAM","Blue EWR",nil,"blue",false,"Blue Awacs")`  
+--    `mybluemantis:Start()`
+--
+-- # 3. Default settings
+-- 
+-- By default, the following settings are active:
+--
+--  * SAM_Templates_Prefix = "Red SAM" - SAM site group names in the mission editor begin with "Red SAM"
+--  * EWR_Templates_Prefix = "Red EWR" - EWR group names in the mission editor begin with "Red EWR" - can also be combined with an AWACS unit
+--  * checkradius = 25000 (meters) - SAMs will engage enemy flights, if they are within a 25km around each SAM site - `MANTIS:SetSAMRadius(radius)`
+--  * grouping = 5000 (meters) - Detection (EWR) will group enemy flights to areas of 5km for tracking - `MANTIS:SetEWRGrouping(radius)`
+--  * acceptrange = 80000 (meters) - Detection (EWR) will on consider flights inside a 80km radius - `MANTIS:SetEWRRange(radius)`  
+--  * detectinterval = 30 (seconds) - MANTIS will decide every 30 seconds which SAM to activate - `MANTIS:SetDetectInterval(interval)`
+--  * engagerange = 85 (percent) - SAMs will only fire if flights are inside of a 85% radius of their max firerange - `MANTIS:SetSAMRange(range)`
+--  * dynamic = false - Group filtering is set to once, i.e. newly added groups will not be part of the setup by default - `MANTIS:New(name,samprefix,ewrprefix,hq,coaltion,dynamic)`
+--  * autorelocate = false - HQ and (mobile) EWR system will not relocate in random intervals between 30mins and 1 hour - `MANTIS:SetAutoRelocate(hq, ewr)`
+--  * debug = false - Debugging reports on screen are set to off - `MANTIS:Debug(onoff)`
+--
+-- # 4. Advanced Mode
+-- 
+--  Advanced mode will *decrease* reactivity of MANTIS, if HQ and/or EWR  network dies.  Awacs is counted as one EWR unit. It will set SAMs to RED state if both are dead.  Requires usage of an **HQ** object and the **dynamic** option.  
+--  
+--  E.g.        `mymantis:SetAdvancedMode( true, 90 )`  
+--  
+--  Use this option if you want to make use of or allow advanced SEAD tactics.  
+--  
+-- # 5. Integrate SHORAD
+--  
+--  You can also choose to integrate Mantis with @{Functional.Shorad#SHORAD} for protection against HARMs and AGMs. When SHORAD detects a missile fired at one of MANTIS' SAM sites, it will activate SHORAD systems in
+--  the given defense checkradius around that SAM site. Create a SHORAD object first, then integrate with MANTIS like so:
+--  
+--      `local SamSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("Blue SAM"):FilterCoalitions("blue"):FilterStart()`
+--      `myshorad = SHORAD:New("BlueShorad", "Blue SHORAD", SamSet, 22000, 600, "blue")`
+--      `-- now set up MANTIS`
+--      `mymantis = MANTIS:New("BlueMantis","Blue SAM","Blue EWR",nil,"blue",false,"Blue Awacs")`
+--      `mymantis:AddShorad(myshorad,720)`
+--      `mymantis:Start()`
+-- 
+--  and (optionally) remove the link later on with
+--  
+--        `mymantis:RemoveShorad()`    
+--

+-- #SHORAD
+-- Moose derived missile intercepting short range defense system.
+-- Protects a network of SAM sites. Uses events to switch on the defense groups closest to the enemy.
+-- Easily integrated with @{Functional.Mantis#MANTIS} to complete the defensive system setup.
+--
+-- ## Usage
+--
+-- Set up a #SET_GROUP for the SAM sites to be protected:  
+-- 
+--        `local SamSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("Red SAM"):FilterCoalitions("red"):FilterStart()`   
+--    
+-- By default, SHORAD will defense against both HARMs and AG-Missiles with short to medium range. The default defense probability is 70-90%.
+-- When a missile is detected, SHORAD will activate defense groups in the given radius around the target for 10 minutes. It will *not* react to friendly fire.    
+--        
+-- ### Start a new SHORAD system, parameters are:
+--   
+--  * Name: Name of this SHORAD.  
+--  * ShoradPrefix: Filter for the Shorad #SET_GROUP.  
+--  * Samset: The #SET_GROUP of SAM sites to defend.  
+--  * Radius: Defense radius in meters. 
+--  * ActiveTimer: Determines how many seconds the systems stay on red alert after wake-up call.  
+--  * Coalition: Coalition, i.e. "blue", "red", or "neutral".* 
+--

+--  
+-- The dispatcher will implement for you mechanisms to create capture zone tasks:
+--  
+--   * As setup by the mission designer.
+--   * Dynamically capture zone tasks.
+--   
+-- 
+--   
+-- **Specific features:**
+-- 
+--   * Creates a task to capture zones and achieve mission goals.
+--   * Orchestrate the task flow, so go from Planned to Assigned to Success, Failed or Cancelled.
+--   * Co-operation tasking, so a player joins a group of players executing the same task.
+-- 
+-- 
+-- **A complete task menu system to allow players to:**
+--   
+--   * Join the task, abort the task.
+--   * Mark the location of the zones to capture on the map.
+--   * Provide details of the zones.
+--   * Route to the zones.
+--   * Display the task briefing.
+--   
+--   
+-- **A complete mission menu system to allow players to:**
+--   
+--   * Join a task, abort the task.
+--   * Display task reports.
+--   * Display mission statistics.
+--   * Mark the task locations on the map.
+--   * Provide details of the zones.
+--   * Display the mission briefing.
+--   * Provide status updates as retrieved from the command center.
+--   * Automatically assign a random task as part of a mission.
+--   * Manually assign a specific task as part of a mission.
+--   
+--   
+--  **A settings system, using the settings menu:**
+--  
+--   * Tweak the duration of the display of messages.
+--   * Switch between metric and imperial measurement system.
+--   * Switch between coordinate formats used in messages: BR, BRA, LL DMS, LL DDM, MGRS.
+--   * Various other options.

+  -- 
+  -- The **TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
+  -- players capture zones in a co-operation effort. 
+  --  
+  -- Let's explore **step by step** how to setup the task capture zone dispatcher.
+  -- 
+  -- # 1. Setup a mission environment.
+  -- 
+  -- It is easy, as it works just like any other task setup, so setup a command center and a mission.
+  -- 
+  -- ## 1.1. Create a command center.
+  -- 
+  -- First you need to create a command center using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
+  -- The command assumes that you´ve setup a group in the mission editor with the name HQ.
+  -- This group will act as the command center object.
+  -- It is a good practice to mark this group as invisible and invulnerable.
+  -- 
+  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
+  --        :New( GROUP:FindByName( "HQ" ), "HQ" ) -- Create the CommandCenter.
+  --     
+  -- ## 1.2. Create a mission.
+  -- 
+  -- Tasks work in a **mission**, which groups these tasks to achieve a joint **mission goal**. A command center can **govern multiple missions**.
+  -- 
+  -- Create a new mission, using the @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION.New}() constructor.
+  -- 
+  --     -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
+  --     local Mission = MISSION
+  --       :New( CommandCenter, 
+  --             "Overlord", 
+  --             "High", 
+  --             "Capture the blue zones.", 
+  --             coalition.side.RED 
+  --           ) 
+  -- 
+  -- 
+  -- # 2. Dispatch a **capture zone** task.
+  -- 
+  -- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the capture zone task.
+  -- We create the capture zone task using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() constructor.
+  -- 
+  -- ## 2.1. Create the capture zones.
+  -- 
+  -- Because a capture zone task will not generate the capture zones, you'll need to create them first.
+  -- 
+  --     
+  --     -- We define here a capture zone; of the type ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.
+  --     -- The zone to be captured has the name Alpha, and was defined in the mission editor as a trigger zone.
+  --     CaptureZone = ZONE:New( "Alpha" )
+  --     CaptureZoneCoalitionApha = ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION:New( CaptureZone, coalition.side.RED )
+  -- 
+  -- ## 2.2. Create a set of player groups.
+  --    
+  -- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
+  -- 
+  --     -- Allocate the player slots, which must be aircraft (airplanes or helicopters), that can be manned by players.
+  --     -- We use the method FilterPrefixes to filter those player groups that have client slots, as defined in the mission editor.
+  --     -- In this example, we filter the groups where the name starts with "Blue Player", which captures the blue player slots.
+  --     local PlayerGroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Blue Player" ):FilterStart()
+  -- 
+  -- ## 2.3. Setup the capture zone task.
+  -- 
+  -- First, we need to create a TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER object.
+  -- 
+  --     TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher = TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, PilotGroupSet )
+  -- 
+  -- So, the variable `TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher` will contain the object of class TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER, 
+  -- which will allow you to dispatch capture zone tasks:
+  --  
+  --   * for mission `Mission`, as was defined in section 1.2.
+  --   * for the group set `PilotGroupSet`, as was defined in section 2.2.
+  -- 
+  -- Now that we have `TaskDispatcher` object, we can now **create the TaskCaptureZone**, using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() method!
+  -- 
+  --     local TaskCaptureZone = TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher:AddCaptureZoneTask( 
+  --       "Capture zone Alpha", 
+  --       CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha, 
+  --       "Fly to zone Alpha and eliminate all enemy forces to capture it." )
+  -- 
+  -- As a result of this code, the `TaskCaptureZone` (returned) variable will contain an object of @{#TASK_CAPTURE_ZONE}!
+  -- We pass to the method the title of the task, and the `CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha`, which is the zone to be captured, as defined in section 2.1!
+  -- This returned `TaskCaptureZone` object can now be used to setup additional task configurations, or to control this specific task with special events.
+  -- 
+  -- And you're done! As you can see, it is a small bit of work, but the reward is great.
+  -- And, because all this is done using program interfaces, you can easily build a mission to capture zones yourself!
+  -- Based on various events happening within your mission, you can use the above methods to create new capture zones, 
+  -- and setup a new capture zone task and assign it to a group of players, while your mission is running!
