# Title : AN/SPN-46 Precision Approach Landing System (PALS)
#
# File Type : Implementation File
#
# Description : Representative emulation of the functions of the AN/SPN-46 using emesary
# : Where an AN/SPN-46 is required it is sufficient to instantiate a ANSPN46_System connected to the instantiator model.
# : Register with an instance of a Transmitter, and provide a Receive method, periodically send out Active messages
# : expecting ActiveResponse messages which may result in a Communication.
# : This is implemented as a set of messages that models the operation of the PALS

# Notification 1 ANSPN46ActiveNotification from carrier to aircraft
# Transmitted via GlobalTransmitter at 1hz
# - carrier position
# - beam start
# - beam angle
# - channel / frequency information
# - beam range / power
#
# Notification 2 - from aircraft to carrier
# - aircraft position
# - radar return size
# - aircraft altitude, heading, velocity
# - respose indicating tuned or not
#
# Notification 3 - from carrier to aircraft
# - lateral deviation
# - vertical deviation
# - LSO information / messages
# - system status
# - lateral
#
#Operation:
#---------------------
# The ANSPN64 system will send periodically send out a ANSPN46ActiveNotification
# the rest of the logic within this system related to aircraft will be handled when
# the ANSPN46ActiveResponseNotification - which itself in turn will send out a ANSPN46CommunicationNotification
#----------------------
# NOTE: to avoid garbage collection all of the notifications that are sent out are created during construction
# and simply modified prior to sending. This works because emesary is synchronous and therefore the state
# and lifetime are known.

# The main AN/SPN46 system implemented using emesary.
# Periodically the Update method should be called, which will
# send out a notification via the global transmitter so that aircraft within range
# can respond. This is similar to a radar transmit and return.
# There should be an instance of this class created in the nasal section of the model xml
# Once an aircraft is within range it will receive guidance that can be displayed.
# It is the responsibility of the AN/SPN system to decided whether a craft is within range.
# It is the responsibility of the aircraft receiver to indicate whether it is tuned in or not
# if it the aircraft is not tuned into the right channel the receiver (e.g. ARA-63) will not receive anything; however
# the AN/SPN system (being a radar) will still have guidance information that could be relayed over the
# comms channel or displayed on a radar display on the carrier.
