7.2 - Adding a Sensor Component

The radarWarnRx example demonstrates how to create a new sensor component and connect it to controller components.

It adds the following new capabilities and behaviors to existing simulation objects in VR-Forces:

• Radar warning receiver
• Radar sensor
• Reactive behavior in response to a radar threat detected by the radar warning receiver.

This example extends the CIS generic attack/strike fixed-wing entity to have a radar warning receiver. It also adds a reactive behavior to the plane, such that when its radar warning receiver detects a radar, the entity moves to a designated safe location. The safe location is a control point positioned out of range of the radar threat. Once it has reached the safe location, it resumes the task it was executing (if any).

Note

The sensors and behaviors implemented in this example are not realistic.The purpose of the example is to show how and where you would incorporate your own algorithms and models into VR-Forces.
