Breakdown

<time>

current simulation time

<event>

simulation event recorded in this message

<firing platform>

name of firing platform

<target platform>

name of target platform. If the target has already been killed or removed from the simulation, the message “(Target Not in Simulation)” will appear instead.

<target offset>

name of target offset (if any)

<weapon name>

name of the directed energy weapon that is firing

<weapon type>

type of directed energy weapon that is firing

<target type>

target platform’s type

<N> <E> <D>

The location of the target with respect to the firing platform in local North-East-Down coordinates. These data will only be present if the target has not been killed / removed from the simulation.

<range> <bearing> <elevation>

The location of the target with respect to the firing platform in range, bearing, and elevation. These data will only be present if the target has not been killed / removed from the simulation.

<power>

power on target

<peak irradiance>

irradiance at the center of the beam

<edge irradiance>

irradiance at the damage radius

<damage radius>

the radius within which the beam is effective. This is the bucket size for power in the bucket calculations

<energy density>

the energy density (fluence) on target for this shot

<energy>

the energy on target for this shot

<semi-major axis>

the longitudinal beam size on target, measured from the peak to the point at which irradiance is1/e. This will be the beam spot size divided by the cosine of the incidence angle.

<semi-minor axis>

the transverse beam size on target, measured from the peak to the point at which irradiance is 1/e.
