Abstract: A flight management system for an aircraft, includes a critical first avionics module for trajectory calculation, i.e. a module the integrity level and availability level of which are specified by regulatory standards in force, delivering as output a safe trajectory, based on a flight plan; a second module for trajectory calculation that is less critical than the critical first module, i.e. a module the integrity level and availability level of which are lower than those of the first module, delivering as output an improved trajectory that is less safe than the trajectory delivered by the critical first avionics module, based on a flight plan; a critical avionics module for trajectory verification, configured to validate or invalidate the safety of the less safe improved trajectory; and a critical avionics module for decision-making configured to select a trajectory from the safe trajectory and the less safe trajectory.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an obstacle detection method implemented by an obstacle detection system on-board an aircraft, the aircraft including at least one on-board camera having an associated field of view configured to acquire full-field digital images. The method comprises the steps of: (a)—reception (50) of at least one full-field digital image captured by said at least one on-board camera, b)—determination (54) of a spatial position of a zone of interest of predetermined size in said full-field digital image, and extraction (56) of said zone of interest from said full-field digital image, c)—implementation of an obstacle detection module (58) on said extracted zone of interest, implementing a neural network previously trained to detect and classify obstacles in images having said predetermined size, each obstacle detected being located in said zone of interest.

Abstract: A flight management system of an aircraft includes a first non-critical or open world module for creating an enhanced enriched flight plan, the first module being configured to create the enhanced enriched flight plan iteratively by the following steps: initialisation of pseudo-constraints; and iterative enhancement of the choice of pseudo-constraints, until an objective of enhancement or of absence of enhancement with respect to the last best choice of pseudo-constraints is reached, based on at least one optimisation criterion and on at least one parameter representative of the environment of the flight of the aircraft; the second critical or flight management avionics module certified to calculate a path, comprising at least one critical computer and/or at least one critical piece of software for calculating and delivering as output a secured path, based on the enhanced enriched flight plan supplied by the first module.

Abstract: A method for assisting the piloting of an aircraft, including acquiring an aircraft piloting model and a reward function including a piloting constraint, and application, to the piloting model, of a reinforcement learning algorithm to obtain state variables and piloting commands. The method also includes formation of data group(s) from the state variables and the commands. For the or each group, the method includes assignment of at least one aircraft state to the state variables and at least one piloting action to the commands, to generate a piloting rule including the state(s) and piloting action(s). The method also includes transmission of at least one piloting rule to a display device for display to a pilot of the aircraft.
