A subjective cost greater than 0 does not necessarily mean the target is an enemy unit. Any unit, that have yet to be identified by the unit, have a small positive cost in the range 0 to 1.

When an unit dies, it is nearTargets array gets emptied after some seconds.

When an unit dies, its reference will get removed from other units nearTargets' arrays immediately.

A target will be removed from the array after about 360 seconds without contact.

Position accuracy seems to be a radius in meters from the perceived position.
