--- **AI** -- Models the process of air to ground engagement for airplanes and helicopters. -- -- This is a class used in the @{AI_A2G_Dispatcher}. -- -- === -- -- ### Author: **FlightControl** -- -- === -- -- @module AI.AI_A2G_Engage -- @image AI_Air_To_Ground_Engage.JPG --- @type AI_A2G_ENGAGE -- @extends AI.AI_A2G#AI_A2G --- Implements the core functions to intercept intruders. Use the Engage trigger to intercept intruders. -- -- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia3.JPG) -- -- The AI_A2G_ENGAGE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_A2G_ENGAGE process can be started using the **Start** event. -- -- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\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_GCI\Dia5.JPG) -- -- This cycle will continue. -- -- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia6.JPG) -- -- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event. -- -- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia9.JPG) -- -- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy. -- -- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\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_GCI\Dia13.JPG) -- -- ## 1.

Set the Range of Engagement -- -- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\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_GCI#AI_A2G_ENGAGE.SetEngageRange}() to define that range. -- -- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement -- -- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia12.JPG) -- -- An optional @{Zone} can be set, -- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
