Detailed Description

DtTurretScanController is a controller that models scanning of a sector by a turret.

End User Description: Scan-rate is a parameter (from the component descriptor). The controller looks at the individual local entity state value for current scan sector center, amount, and turret azimuth and generates slew values (-1. to 1.) to cause the turret to scan the specified area at the indicated rate.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtTurretScanComponentDescriptor
