--- **AI** - Models the intelligent transportation of infantry and other cargo using Planes.
--
-- ## Features:
--
-- * The airplanes will fly towards the pickup airbases to pickup the cargo.
-- * The airplanes will fly towards the deploy airbases to deploy the cargo.
--

--
-- ## Test Missions:
--
-- Test missions can be located on the main GITHUB site.

-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Airplane
-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Airplanes.JPG
--- @type AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE
-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER
--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for AI groups.
--
-- Airplanes can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--
-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
--
-- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!**
--
-- Especially to learn how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**, this will be very useful!
--
-- On top, the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
-- 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 be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
--
-- # 1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE constructor.
--
-- * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE.New}(): Creates a new AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE object.
--
-- ---
--
-- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE 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!**
