Interactions - Warlock

Platforms within AFSIM can interact with each other in many different ways, and to visualize these interactions between platforms, different colored lines are drawn between the platforms on the Map Display. Interaction types include detections, tracks, jamming requests, communications, tasking, and weapon engagements.

Hovering the mouse cursor over an interaction will provide a tooltip about the event that created it.

Jam requests are triggered off of the JAMMING_REQUEST_INITIATED and JAMMING_REQUEST_CANCELED events. These events indicate if a platform is actively attempting to jam a target. It does not indicate an effective jamming interaction. It will not show lines for untargeted or location-based jamming or for incidentally jammed platforms.
