    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).

    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.
