#MANTIS MANTIS

The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. - Frédéric Bastiat

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.

Usage:

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.

Start up your MANTIS

`myredmantis = MANTIS:New("myredmantis","Red SAM","Red EWR",nil,"red",false)`
[optional] Use `MANTIS:SetEWRGrouping(radius)`, `MANTIS:SetEWRRange(radius)`, `MANTIS:SetSAMRadius(radius)`, `MANTIS:SetDetectInterval(interval)` to fine-tune your setup.

`myredmantis:Start()`
