Overview

WSF_LINKED_PROCESSOR is a processor with internal_link (to other processors) and external links (to other platforms through comm). Although this type has limited utility, many other processor types are derived from it, and similarly, have links.

One simple use is a radar post in which the radar reports are to be sent directly to the commander. In this case one would have something like:

platform_type RADAR_POST WSF_PLATFORM
   comm datalink WSF_COMM_TRANSCEIVER
      ...
   end_comm

   sensor radar WSF_RADAR_SENSOR
      ...
      internal_link router
   end_sensor

   processor router WSF_LINKED_PROCESSOR
      external_link commander via datalink
   end_processor
end_platform_type
