Search Patterns Feature
Search patterns are predefined rectangular areas including a path with a predefined shape. Several different shapes are offered.
They are intended to be followed by all kind of entities (submarine, surface, ground or air vehicles).
A search pattern is typically used as an holding pattern, by an aircraft, before landing or as a search procedure for a patroller, a UAV or a ground robot.
The path inside a search pattern can be one or both ways.
It has two extremity points: an entry (in green) and an exit (in red). These points cannot be modified.
