Any resemblance or approximations to actual weapon system capabilities
in this demo are purely accidental. The intent of this DEMONSTRATION is
to illustrate how to setup a processor to launch an anti-ballistic missile
at sometime in the future to intercept a ballistic missile.
(processors/anti_ballistic_missile_processor.txt)
For the demo, a red_mrbm_1 is launched from Ontario Canada at Washington DC. An anti
ballistic missile (in this case a blue_naval_sam) is fired to intercept the
red_mrbm_1(s) to save Washington.

The top startup file to run is “ballistic_shootdown.txt”.
This is a one on one example.

The “many_ballistic_shootdown.txt” is another top startup file
that depicts a nine against nine shootdown by only changing out
the scenario files. Take note that there are nine launchers for the red_mrbm_1’s
and only six for the blue_naval_sam’s. One of the launchers has more than one weapon.

The command “show_graphics” provides output for Mystic concerning
the interceptor evaluation criteria on the ballistic path of what is being
evaluated to be shot down. (The show_graphics subcommand is located within the
WSF_GUIDANCE_COMPUTER block on the weapon.)
An orange dot is created at the time of evaluation.
A green dot is displayed at the target location when the interceptor will launch.
A red dot at the point of possible intercepts
A white dot shows the last possible intercept location.
A yellow dot shows the final location of the weapon intercept.
