+--
+-- 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.
+--

+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- @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.

---- **Core** - Is responsible for everything that is related to radio transmission and you can hear in DCS, be it TACAN beacons, Radio transmissions.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- ## Features:
--- 
---   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
---   * Provide beacon functionality to assist pilots.
---
--- The Radio contains 2 classes : RADIO and BEACON
---  
--- What are radio communications in DCS?
--- 
---   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
---   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
--- 
--- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
---   
---   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
---   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
---   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
---   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
---   
--- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
---   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.
---   
--- Note that obviously, the **frequency** and the **modulation** of the transmission are important only if the players are piloting an **Advanced System Modelling** enabled aircraft,
--- like the A10C or the Mirage 2000C. They will **hear the transmission** if they are tuned on the **right frequency and modulation** (and if they are close enough - more on that below).
--- If an FC3 aircraft is used, it will **hear every communication, whatever the frequency and the modulation** is set to. The same is true for TACAN beacons. If your aircraft isn't compatible,
--- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

---- Models the radio capability.
--- 
--- ## RADIO usage
--- 
--- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
--- 
---   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
---   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
---   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
---   
--- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
---   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
---   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
---   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
--- 
--- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
---   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
---   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- What is this power thing?
--- 
---   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
---   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
---   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
---   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
---   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
---   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

+-- Simple Class for a more intelligent Short Range Air Defense System
+-- 
+-- #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.

+--- **Sound** - Radio transmissions.
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Features:
+-- 
+--   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
+--  
+-- What are radio communications in DCS?
+-- 
+--   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
+--   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
+-- 
+-- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
+--   
+--   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
+--   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
+--   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
+--   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
+--   
+-- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
+--   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.
+--   
+-- Note that obviously, the **frequency** and the **modulation** of the transmission are important only if the players are piloting an **Advanced System Modelling** enabled aircraft,
+-- like the A10C or the Mirage 2000C. They will **hear the transmission** if they are tuned on the **right frequency and modulation** (and if they are close enough - more on that below).
+-- If an FC3 aircraft is used, it will **hear every communication, whatever the frequency and the modulation** is set to. The same is true for TACAN beacons. If your aircraft isn't compatible,
+-- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

+
+--- *It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.* -- Marilyn Monroe
+-- 
+-- # RADIO usage
+-- 
+-- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
+-- 
+--   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
+--   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
+--   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
+--   
+-- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
+-- 
+-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- What is this power thing?
+-- 
+--   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
+--   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
+--   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
+--   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
+--   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
+--   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

+  -- # The SOUNDFILE Concept
+  --   
+  -- A SOUNDFILE object hold the important properties that are necessary to play the sound file, e.g. its file name, path, duration.
+  -- 
+  -- It can be created with the @{#SOUNDFILE.New}(*FileName*, *Path*, *Duration*) function:
+  -- 
+  --     local soundfile=SOUNDFILE:New("My Soundfile.ogg", "Sound File/", 3.5)
+  -- 
+  -- ## SRS
+  -- 
+  -- If sound files are supposed to be played via SRS, you need to use the @{#SOUNDFILE.SetPlayWithSRS}() function.
+  -- 
+  -- # Location/Path
+  -- 
+  -- ## DCS
+  -- 
+  -- DCS can only play sound files that are located inside the mission (.miz) file. In particular, DCS cannot make use of files that are stored on
+  -- your hard drive.
+  -- 
+  -- The default location where sound files are stored in DCS is the directory "l10n/DEFAULT/". This is where sound files are placed, if they are
+  -- added via the mission editor (TRIGGERS-->ACTIONS-->SOUND TO ALL). Note however, that sound files which are not added with a trigger command,
+  -- will be deleted each time the mission is saved! Therefore, this directory is not ideal to be used especially if many sound files are to
+  -- be included since for each file a trigger action needs to be created. Which is cumbersome, to say the least.
+  -- 
+  -- The recommended way is to create a new folder inside the mission (.miz) file (a miz file is essentially zip file and can be opened, e.g., with 7-Zip)
+  -- and to place the sound files in there. Sound files in these folders are not wiped out by DCS on the next save.

+-- @image MOOSE.JPG
+
+--- [DCS Enum world](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_world)
+-- @type STTS
+-- @field #string DIRECTORY Path of the SRS directory.
+
+--- Simple Text-To-Speech
+--  
+-- Version 0.4 - Compatible with SRS version 1.9.6.0+
+-- 
+-- # DCS Modification Required
+-- 
+-- You will need to edit MissionScripting.lua in DCS World/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua and remove the sanitisation.
+-- To do this remove all the code below the comment - the line starts "local function sanitizeModule(name)"
+-- Do this without DCS running to allow mission scripts to use os functions.
+-- 
+-- *You WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY AFTER EVERY DCS UPDATE*
+-- 
+-- # USAGE:
+-- 
+-- Add this script into the mission as a DO SCRIPT or DO SCRIPT FROM FILE to initialise it
+-- Make sure to edit the STTS.SRS_PORT and STTS.DIRECTORY to the correct values before adding to the mission.
+-- Then its as simple as calling the correct function in LUA as a DO SCRIPT or in your own scripts.
+-- 
+-- Example calls:
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2)
+-- 
+-- Arguments in order are:
+-- 
+--  * Message to say, make sure not to use a newline (\n) !
+--  * Frequency in MHz
+--  * Modulation - AM/FM
+--  * Volume - 1.0 max, 0.5 half
+--  * Name of the transmitter - ATC, RockFM etc
+--  * Coalition - 0 spectator, 1 red 2 blue
+--  * OPTIONAL - Vec3 Point i.e Unit.getByName("A UNIT"):getPoint() - needs Vec3 for Height! OR null if not needed
+--  * OPTIONAL - Speed -10 to +10
+--  * OPTIONAL - Gender male, female or neuter
+--  * OPTIONAL - Culture - en-US, en-GB etc
+--  * OPTIONAL - Voice - a specfic voice by name. Run DCS-SR-ExternalAudio.exe with --help to get the ones you can use on the command line
+--  * OPTIONAL - Google TTS - Switch to Google Text To Speech - Requires STTS.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS path and Google project setup correctly
+--
+--
+-- ## Example
+--
+-- This example will say the words "Hello DCS WORLD" on 251 MHz AM at maximum volume with a client called SRS and to the Blue coalition only
+-- 
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2,null,-5,"male","en-GB")
+-- 
+-- ## Example
+-- 
+--This example will say the words "Hello DCS WORLD" on 251 MHz AM at maximum volume with a client called SRS and to the Blue coalition only centered on the position of the Unit called "A UNIT"
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2,Unit.getByName("A UNIT"):getPoint(),-5,"male","en-GB")
+-- 
+-- Arguments in order are:
+-- 
+--  * FULL path to the MP3 OR OGG to play
+--  * Frequency in MHz - to use multiple separate with a comma - Number of frequencies MUST match number of Modulations
+--  * Modulation - AM/FM - to use multiple
+--  * Volume - 1.0 max, 0.5 half
+--  * Name of the transmitter - ATC, RockFM etc
+--  * Coalition - 0 spectator, 1 red 2 blue
