<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />How can I generate a response surface plot with a projection, as seen in the following diagram:

The Surface Plot can do something similar if you select the correct options. See the documentation, particularly Surface Plot Controls and Settings.
The code below shows an example: Do 'File > New > New Script', cut and paste it, then 'Edit > Run Script'.
NamesDefaultToHere(1);
dt = New Table( "Surface Plot Options",
Add Rows( 0 ),
New Column( "x", Numeric, "Continuous", Format( "Best", 12 ), Set Values( [] ) ),
New Column( "y", Numeric, "Continuous", Format( "Best", 12 ), Set Values( [] ) ),
New Column( "z",
Numeric,
"Continuous",
Format( "Best", 12 ),
Formula( Sin( Sqrt( :x ^ 2 + :y ^ 2 ) ) / Sqrt( :x ^ 2 + :y ^ 2 ) )
)
);
dt << Surface Plot(
Columns( :z ),
Show Contour( "Below" ),
Formula( "z" ),
);
