Abstract: A detection method for a given mission comprises at least: one phase of analysing the environment using a waveform chosen beforehand, the signals acquired with this waveform being analysed by processing means in order to deduce therefrom environmental characteristics; and one phase of generating an optimal detection wave depending on the environmental characteristics and characteristics of the mission.

Abstract: A radar imaging device having a mission to produce a radar image of a given target, comprising a step of determining the trajectory of the carrier of the imaging device comprises at least: a phase of determining a segment of trajectory for the picture capture, as a function of the position of the target and of the type of image to be produced, the picture capture segment being dedicated to the picture capture of the target by the imaging device; a phase of adding a segment of trajectory of stabilizing the carrier, situated upstream in the extension of the picture capture segment; a phase of addition of a segment of trajectory for homing the carrier onto the stabilizing segment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for the automated computation of a length or width dimension of a moving platform. The method includes sending radio waves toward the platform along a predetermined transmission axis and acquiring at least one digital power profile signal representative of a received reflected signal power as a function of a radial distance along the transmission axis relative to a reference point. This method next includes applying a filtering operator on the acquired digital power profile signal, making it possible to obtain a filtered digital signal, determining, by computation, a first radial distance corresponding to a first variation peak of the filtered digital signal and a second radial distance corresponding to a second variation peak of the filtered digital signal, and the computing a radial dimension of the platform as a function of the first and second radial distances.
