Module AI.AI_A2A_Gci

AI - Models the process of Ground Controlled Interception (GCI) for airplanes.

This is a class used in the AI.AI_A2A_Dispatcher.


Author: FlightControl


Global(s)

Global AI_A2A_GCI

Implements the core functions to intercept intruders.

#AI_A2A_GCI AI_A2A_GCI

Implements the core functions to intercept intruders.

Use the Engage trigger to intercept intruders.

The AI_A2A_GCI is assigned a Wrapper.Group and this must be done before the AI_A2A_GCI process can be started using the Start event.

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.

This cycle will continue.

During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the Detected event.

When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.

Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB. When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

1. AI_A2A_GCI constructor

2. AI_A2A_GCI is a FSM

Process

2.1 AI_A2A_GCI States

  • None ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
  • Patrolling ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
  • Engaging ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
  • Returning ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
