    Abstract: A method (100; 200) for digital signal processing (S(t)) of a pulse and scanning radar during an observation of a coastal zone in land/sea detection mode, the signal being sampled according to a two-dimensional temporal map, a distance dimension (d) and a recurrence dimension (rec), comprising: selecting a digital terrain model file (MNT) of the observed coastal zone; transforming (110; 210) the temporal map and/or the digital terrain model file to obtain a transformed temporal map and/or a transformed digital terrain model file the data of which are expressed in a common reference frame; constructing (120) a mask (MT; MF) from the transformed digital terrain model file; and applying (130) the mask to the samples (E(d, rec); E(d, Δf)) of the map associated with the transformed temporal map, in such a way as to obtain filtered samples (Ef(d, rec); Ef(d, Δf)).

    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.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an operator terminal of an avionic system for flying an aircraft, suitable for use during a mission including a plurality of mission phases, the operator terminal comprising at least a display module and a computing device, implementing a flight management system suitable for determining a reference trajectory of the aircraft by incorporating at least one environment constraint. This terminal is suitable for displaying, on the display module, the reference trajectory, a current position of the aircraft and a plurality of accessibility zones, at least one of the accessibility zones having an intersection with the reference trajectory, the accessibility zones having an associated calculated accessibility level, the accessibility level being defined as a function of a current mission phase, a trajectory predicted from the reference trajectory and at least one flight constraint associated with the current mission phase.
