    Abstract: A system includes antennas to receive satellite signals, modems for managing data received from the antennas, and a switching unit for managing the allocation and the transmission of the data from the various antennas to the various modems, the data from any one of the antennas being able to be allocated and transmitted to any one of the modems, the system thus being able to adapt the allocation of the data such that each modem is able to continue to receive data relating to signals transmitted by one and the same satellite upon a change of position of the antennas, thereby making it possible to maintain communication to one or more given satellite communication services.

    Abstract: Method and system for optimizing the arrangement of a set of aircraft parts on a plate. The system includes a selection module which selects, from a set of data on the material of the set of parts and a set of geometric data associated with the set of parts, part grouping criteria including at least one optimized plate thickness value, an optimization module for optimizing the arrangement of the set of parts on a plate as a function of the part grouping criteria, cutting criteria and optimization criteria and a transmission module generating and transmitting, to a user system, optimization data representative of the optimization of the arrangement of the set of parts. The system makes it possible to take account of the parameters linked to the dimensions of the plate to optimize the arrangement of the set of parts.

    Abstract: A laser communication system for an aircraft has optical head units, separate laser transmitting unit, laser receiving unit, optical fiber for each optical head unit, optical switching device for coupling an optical head unit and a separate laser transmitting unit, and a central control unit, the optical head units connected to the optical switching device through the optical fiber, the optical head units having an optical axis, parallel to which light is emitted or received, and an optical pointing mechanism for adjusting the respective optical axis. The separate laser transmitting unit has a laser. The control unit connects to the optical switching device, laser transmitting unit, laser receiving unit and optical head unit to control a laser based data communication through coupling an optical head unit, which is in a free line of sight to a target outside the aircraft, to the laser transmitting unit and to modulate operation of the laser transmitting unit for emitting a signal.

    Abstract: A system and a method for estimating a transmission channel of a communication link. A transmitter can transmit a first transmission signal and a receiver can receive the first transmission signal through the transmission channel. The first transmission signal includes data elements and pilots, each of the pilots being located at specified locations within a time-frequency domain of the first transmission signal. The receiver can determine a level of interference for each of the pilots, the level of interference being indicative of an extent of distortion on a respective pilot caused by a second transmission signal interfering with the first transmission signal. The receiver can further determine an interference-mitigated pilot for each pilot based on the determined level of interference determined for each respective pilot. The receiver can use the determined interference-mitigated pilots to estimate the transmission channel of the first transmission signal.

    Abstract: A human-machine interface for displaying an intuitive and accurate graphic representation for assisting in take-off or landing, based on a fully autonomous system essentially using only images captured by embedded cameras and data from avionics systems of the aircraft, the graphic representation including indicators based on a processing of a stream of images taken by embedded cameras and comprising a representation of a runway straight line indicative of the central longitudinal axis of the runway and of at least one deviation indicator representative of the difference between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the central longitudinal axis of the runway.
