Hi all,

 

Would this ME scenario work without script?

I’m trying to work out how to get a reaper set to AFAC to search along a route (highway for example) and find targets and then it sends a message to the pilot with Lat and Long. 
 

I don’t want to do it via 9L. More a simple message.

Yes and no.

Yes - only if the targets are always at the same (i.e. known) locations, and you only vary when the drone finds them. In that case you send a message with the (known in advance) latLon and all is well.

No - if you want anything more dynamic (e.g. display a moving unit's latLon) then you'll have to resort to scripting. 

There are scripting libraries available that can make this easier, if I have the time I'll see if I can make a proof of concept with DML (a.k.a. "Mission Lego"), the 'recon' module should fit your bill

Here's a simple how on demo to do that. When the drone sees targets, it reports how many, and their location in lat/lon/ele. It also puts a mark on the map that contains that information as well.

As it's using DML, your work in mission design is editing the trigger zone's attributes to control how the scripts work (you must not edit the scripts, they are self-contained and are configured with trigger zone attributes as well).

Thank you very much for that. Much appreciated.
