--- **Wrapper** - UNIT is a wrapper class for the DCS Class Unit.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- The @{#UNIT} class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Unit objects:
-- 
--  * Support all DCS Unit APIs.
--  * Enhance with Unit specific APIs not in the DCS Unit API set.
--  * Handle local Unit Controller.
--  * Manage the "state" of the DCS Unit.

--- @type UNIT
-- @field #string ClassName Name of the class.
-- @field #string UnitName Name of the unit.
-- @field #string GroupName Name of the group the unit belongs to.
-- @field #table DCSUnit The DCS Unit object from the API.
-- @extends Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE

--- For each DCS Unit object alive within a running mission, a UNIT wrapper object (instance) will be created within the global _DATABASE object (an instance of @{Core.Database#DATABASE}).
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts), and dynamically when new DCS Unit objects are spawned (using the @{Core.Spawn} class).
--  
-- The UNIT class **does not contain a :New()** method, rather it provides **:Find()** methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the DCS Unit or the DCS UnitName.
-- 
-- Another thing to know is that UNIT objects do not "contain" the DCS Unit object. 
-- The UNIT methods will reference the DCS Unit object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Unit object does not exist or is nil, the UNIT methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.
--  
-- The UNIT class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant UNIT instance:
-- 
--  * @{#UNIT.Find}(): Find a UNIT instance from the global _DATABASE object (an instance of @{Core.Database#DATABASE}) using a DCS Unit object.
--  * @{#UNIT.FindByName}(): Find a UNIT instance from the global _DATABASE object (an instance of @{Core.Database#DATABASE}) using a DCS Unit name.
--  
-- IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANITIZE these UNIT OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the UNIT object references nil).
-- 
-- ## DCS UNIT APIs
-- 
-- The DCS Unit APIs are used extensively within MOOSE. The UNIT class has for each DCS Unit API a corresponding method.
-- To be able to distinguish easily in your code the difference between a UNIT API call and a DCS Unit API call,
-- the first letter of the method is also capitalized. So, by example, the DCS Unit method @{DCS#Unit.getName}()
-- is implemented in the UNIT class as @{#UNIT.GetName}().
-- 
-- ## Smoke, Flare Units
-- 
-- The UNIT class provides methods to smoke or flare units easily. 
-- The @{#UNIT.SmokeBlue}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeGreen}(),@{#UNIT.SmokeOrange}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}() methods
-- will smoke the unit in the corresponding color. Note that smoking a unit is done at the current position of the DCS Unit. 
-- When the DCS Unit moves for whatever reason, the smoking will still continue!
-- The @{#UNIT.FlareGreen}(), @{#UNIT.FlareRed}(), @{#UNIT.FlareWhite}(), @{#UNIT.FlareYellow}() 
-- methods will fire off a flare in the air with the corresponding color. Note that a flare is a one-off shot and its effect is of very short duration.
-- 
-- ## Location Position, Point
-- 
-- The UNIT class provides methods to obtain the current point or position of the DCS Unit.
-- The @{#UNIT.GetPointVec2}(), @{#UNIT.GetVec3}() will obtain the current **location** of the DCS Unit in a Vec2 (2D) or a **point** in a Vec3 (3D) vector respectively.
-- If you want to obtain the complete **3D position** including orientation and direction vectors, consult the @{#UNIT.GetPositionVec3}() method respectively.
-- 
-- ## Test if alive
-- 
-- The @{#UNIT.IsAlive}(), @{#UNIT.IsActive}() methods determines if the DCS Unit is alive, meaning, it is existing and active.
-- 
-- ## Test for proximity
-- 
-- The UNIT class contains methods to test the location or proximity against zones or other objects.
-- 
-- ### Zones range
-- 
-- To test whether the Unit is within a **zone**, use the @{#UNIT.IsInZone}() or the @{#UNIT.IsNotInZone}() methods. Any zone can be tested on, but the zone must be derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}. 
-- 
-- ### Unit range
-- 
--   * Test if another DCS Unit is within a given radius of the current DCS Unit, use the @{#UNIT.OtherUnitInRadius}() method.
--   
-- ## Test Line of Sight
-- 
--   * Use the @{#UNIT.IsLOS}() method to check if the given unit is within line of sight.
