The ground disaggregated movement system is a system of sensor, controller, and actuator components that comprise the movement model for ground-based aggregate entities.

It only applies when the aggregate is in the disaggregated state (it is explicitly modeling subordinates as distinct entities). In general, the components in this system push down responsibility for carrying out the various behaviors by forwarding movement tasks to its subordinates. This system is configured on several entity types in VR-Forces, such as the Armor Plt (US).

Defined in system definition file: ground-disaggregated-movement.sysdef

This system can be configured as part of an Aggregate.

9.6.1 Components that Make Up the Ground Aggregated Movement System

The figure below shows what systems and simulation components are configured as part of the ground aggregated movement system. The boxes (nodes) represent individual DtSimComponent classes. The edges connecting the boxes indicate port or port group connections between components.

9.6.1.1 Sensors

This system is not configured with any sensors.

9.6.1.2 Controllers

• DtDisaggregatedFormationController – Execute move-into formation tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedMoveIntoFormationController – Execute move-into formation tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedTurnToHeadingController – Execute turn-to heading tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedMoveToController – Execute move-to <waypoint> tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedMoveToLocationController – Execute move-to <location> tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedPatrolBetweenController – Execute patrol-between <waypoint> tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedPatrolAlongController – Execute patrol-along <route> tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedMoveAlongController – Execute move-along <route> tasks.
• DtDisaggregatedWaitController – Stop moving and wait.

9.6.1.3 Actuators

• DtDisaggregatedActuator – Update aggregate position, orientation, and extent

Note

If you modify the system definition file, or any of the components it contains, multiple entity types may be affected. All entity types that include this system in its parameter database file will be modified.
