Mover Creator Standard Vehicle Templates¶

Mover Creator provides a set of predefined standard templates from which users can derive their vehicles. These templates follow a naming convention that establishes a common means to name unclassified, semi-generic vehicles. The naming is arranged into two groups - Aircraft and Weapons - and the names are designed to be as short as possible, yet convey information about the function/mission of the vehicle. The sections below will detail the structure of the naming convention. The templates currently available include:

AIRCRAFT

Fighter	Attack	Bomber	ISR	AEW	Tanker	Cargo and Transport	Maritime Patrol	Drone
F-H4-21C-1	A-M4-22A-1	B-H3-81A-1	R-MJ-11A-1	E-HJ-41A-1	K-MJ-21A-1	C-HJ-41A-1	P-MJ-21A-1	D-L4-11V-1
F-H4-22A-1		B-H1-80W-1						D-L4-11Z-1
F-H4-22B-1		B-H4-40W-1

Aircraft¶

Aircraft names are composed of four sections, separated by dashes.

Section 1¶

The first section is a single letter that defines the primary definition/function of the aircraft, which can be:

A: Attack
B: Bomber
C: Cargo
D: Drone
E: AEW
F: Fighter
K: Tanker
P: Maritime
R: ISR

Section 2¶

The second section is variable, depending on the type of aircraft. It consists of two letters/numbers. The first letter defines the weight class (L=Light, M=Medium, H=Heavy). The second letter/number is type dependent.

Fighters, Bombers, Drones, and Attack Aircraft¶

For attack aircraft, fighters, and bombers, a number is used to denote the generation:

3: Third Gen
4: Fourth Gen
5: Fifth Gen
6: Sixth Gen

Recon/ISR, AEW/AWACS, Tankers, Cargo/Transports, and Patrol Aircraft¶

For ISR aircraft, AEW aircraft, tankers, cargo/transport aircraft, and maritime patrol aircraft, a letter defines the type of propulsion:

J: Turbojet/Turbofan
P: Propeller

Section 3¶

The third section is composed of two numbers and a letter.

The first number is the number of engines, the second number is the number of vertical tails, and the last letter denotes the method of pitch control. This can be:

A: Aft Stab (conventional stabilizer/elevator control)
B: Both Stabs/Canards
C: Canard (canard control)
V: V-Tail
W: Wing
Z: Inverted V-Tail

Section 4¶

The final section is a number that indicates a variant. It starts with 1 and increments as each new type of aircraft in that specific category is defined.

Weapons¶

Weapon names are composed of three sections, separated by dashes.

Section 1¶

The first section uses a three letter identifier. In most cases, this is the 1963 United States Tri-Service designation system, which is composed of 3 letters, consisting of launch environment, mission, and type. In addition to the Tri-Service designation system, the first section may alternately include GBU (guided bomb unit), MUN (unguided munitions, such as bombs/rockets), or TNK (external fuel tanks).

The three letter identifiers currently used in the standard templates include:

AIM: Air-Launched Intercept-Air Missiles
MIM: Ground-Launched Intercept-Air Missiles
RIM: Ship-Launched Intercept-Air Missiles
FIM: Infantry-Launched Intercept-Air Missiles
AGM: Air-Launched Surface Attack Missiles
BGM: Ground-Launched Surface Attack Missiles
RGM: Ship-Launched Surface Attack Missiles
UGM: Sub-Launched Surface Attack Missiles
ADM: Air-Launched Decoy Missiles
AQM: Air-Launched Drone Missiles
BQM: Ground-Launched Drone Missiles
GBU: Guided Bomb Unit
MUN: Unguided Munitions
TNK: External Fuel Tanks

Launch Environment¶

A: Air-launched
B: Multiple Launch options (often land)
F: Infantry-launched
L: Silo-launched
M: Mobile Ground-launched
R: Ship-launched
U: Sub-launched

Mission¶

D: Decoy
E: Electronic Attack
G: Surface Attack
I: Intercept (Air)
Q: Drone
S: Space Attack
U: Underwater Attack

Type¶

M: Missile, Guided
R: Rocket, Unguided

Section 2¶

The second section is variable, consisting of up to three letters/numbers, depending on the type of weapon.

Most Missiles¶

For most missiles, two letters are used to denote the range class:

SR: Short-Range
MR: Medium-Range
LR: Long-Range
ER: Extreme-Range

Cruise Missiles¶

Cruise missiles are an exception to the nominal missile range class. For cruise missiles, CM is used.

Guided Bomb Units (GBUs)¶

For GBUs, a single letter is used to denote type of fins (F=Fins, S=Strakes, W=Wing).

Munitions¶

For MUN weapons, a single letter is used to denote the type of munition:

B: Bomb
R: Rocket

External Fuel Tanks¶

For TNK objects, the quantity of fuel carried (in gallons) is used for section 2.

Section 3¶

The final section is a number that indicates a variant. It starts with 1 and increments as each new type of weapon/item in that specific category is defined.
