    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 processing an error when performing a predetermined avionics procedure, related computer program and detection and alert system is disclosed. In one aspect, the method is carried out automatically by the detection and alert system of an aircraft, the method including monitoring the operation of one or several avionics device(s) of the aircraft, the monitoring based on the tracking of a sequence representative of the predetermined avionics procedure being carried out. The method further includes: detecting a break of the sequence due to an incorrect command and/or skipping of at least one expected command according to the predetermined avionics procedure being performed, and retrieving at least one piece of information representative of the break in the sequence.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring the flight trajectory of an aircraft comprises the steps reiterated in time consisting in receiving and comparing two trajectory objects, the trajectory objects being associated with two initially identical flight trajectories determined independently of each other over time; and, in case of difference between the two trajectory objects, determining a failed trajectory from the two flight trajectories by comparison with the last known state without fault, the last known state without fault corresponding to two identical trajectory objects. Developments describe the use of flight plan segments, of signatures, fault isolation simultaneously to a change of current leg, the use of levels of operational safety according to an RNP-AR procedure and the notification of the pilot of the trajectory determined as having failed. Software and system aspects are also described.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the restitution of alert(s) and/or of system(s) reconfiguration procedure(s), including the surveillance of device(s) of a vehicle and the determination of alert(s) and/or of associated reconfiguration procedure(s) to be restituted for the crew, the vehicle operating according to a mission carried out by using at least one operational capacity, and further including, for a current mission: obtaining a list of operational capacities required by said current mission; from said required operational capacities and at least one piece of information from an accessible database, controlling the restitution of alert(s) and/or of system(s) reconfiguration procedure(s) by: modifying the associated level of alert(s) and/or of procedure(s), and sequencing the restitution of alert(s) and/or of procedure(s) based on said level, and/or filtering said alert(s) and/or reconfiguration procedure(s) before restitution.

    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.
