Tool_QueryRCS ( table)

This function calculates and returns a numerical value representing the signature strength of a specified targetunitname from the perspective of a designated sensorunitname. The type of signature being queried is determined by the SIGNATURETYPE parameter. A higher returned value signifies a more easily detectable target in the specified signature spectrum

Parameters

  • table { }
    • sensorunitname stringThe guid/name of the unit that is sensing the target.
    • targetunitname stringThe name of the unit whose signature is being measured.
    • SIGNATURETYPE = SIGNATURETYPE HullSonar_PassiveOnly_VLF, HullSonar_PassiveOnly_LF HullSonar_PassiveOnly_MF HullSonar_PassiveOnly_HF ActiveSonar Visual_Detect Visual_ID IR_Detect IR_ID Radar_A_D Radar_E_M
       A string specifying the type of signature to be queried.

Returns

number Returns a numerical value representing the calculated signature strength
