  • Patent number: 10854097
    Abstract: An anti-collision device of an aircraft including a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors including at least two separate sensors, each sensor being configured to respectively deliver its own set of captured data as a function of the proximity of at least one obstruction, the anti-collision device including: at least one data homogenization module configured to transform at least one set of captured data in a corresponding set of unmarked data, each set of unmarked data respectively associated with at least one sensor being made up of a plurality of identical data types from one set of unmarked data to another, and a data processing module configured to generate, from said sets of unmarked data, at least one piece of information representative of the presence or absence of obstruction(s).

  • Publication number: 20200286394
    Abstract: A method for enhanced three-dimensional awareness of the environment linked to the ground around an aircraft and anticipation of the potential threats of the environment is implemented by a system for enhanced 3D awareness of the environment around the aircraft comprising an electronic enhanced three-dimensional environment awareness and piloting assistance computer, an obstruction database, and a primary flight display PFD, included in a synthetic vision system SVS or derivative. The method for enhanced three-dimensional awareness of the environment and anticipation of potential environmental threats comprising: a first step of calculation of a panoramic curve of safe minimum slope as a function of the azimuth angle of vision from the aircraft in a local horizontal plane; and a second step, consecutive and executed on command, of display of the panoramic curve of safe minimum slope and of any piloting assistance information.

  • Publication number: 20190122570
    Abstract: A method for determining endpoint(s) for deciding to trigger evasive maneuver by an aircraft, an associated device and computer program are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes obtaining an anticipated route of the aircraft and a set of locations on the route presenting a collision risk for the aircraft, determining, for each location of the set, an endpoint for deciding to trigger an evasive maneuver associated with the location, by applying a rule for determining an endpoint associated with the location, and segmenting the route into a set of N route segments, with N?2. The rule for determining the endpoint associated with the location of the set is a function of the route segment in which the location associated with the set is located.

  • Publication number: 20190122566
    Abstract: A method for securing a provisional aircraft itinerary with respect to potential threats associated with geographical coordinates, according to which the provisional itinerary includes geographical coordinates of waypoints, two successive waypoints defining an anticipated route segment with the two waypoints as ends, the method comprising carrying out a first risk detection, as a function of at least the geographical coordinates of the ends of each segment between two waypoints and threats to identify potentially at-risk (segment, threat) pairs, wherein each segment is split into segment sections, and carrying out a second risk detection for each pair, in order, based on at least the geographical coordinates of the sections of the segment of the pair and at least the geographical coordinates of the threat of the pair, to determine whether the threat is confirmed as presenting a collision risk with the segment.
