  • Method for exchanging data between drones of a drone swarm
    Patent number: 12009902
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for exchanging data between drones of a drone swarm comprising at least four drones, the method comprising: emitting, by each drone, a signal comprising data to be emitted comprising the identifier of the drone, the direction and the identifier of each signal received at the preceding moment by the drone, receiving, by a drone, called receiver drone, the signal emitted by another drone of the swarm, determining, by the receiver drone, the direction of each received signal, and determining, by the receiver drone, for each received signal, the relative position of the drone corresponding to the identifier of the received signal.

  • Optronic passive surveillance device
    Patent number: 7126110
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optronic passive surveillance device, especially for infrared surveillance. It comprises a front optic (1) of given useful instantaneous field, means (2) for scanning a scene with a given total field of observation, means (3) for forming the image of the scene and means (4) for detecting said image. According to the invention, the detection means (4) comprise a two-dimensional matrix detector (41), the field of the detector along each of the dimensions being greater than or equal to said useful instantaneous field of the front optic along said dimension, and allow the acquisition, for each elementary area of the scene corresponding to the useful instantaneous field of the front optic, of N subimages formed on said detector (N?1), with a given integration time for each subimage.
