Abstract: The method uses a fleet of aircraft being equipped with at least one radar sensor, it includes at least: a step of collective collection of radar images by a set of aircraft (A1, . . . AN) of the fleet, the radar images being obtained by the radar sensors of the aircraft (A1, . . . AN) in nominal landing phases on the runway, a step wherein each image collected by an aircraft is labelled with at least information on the position of the runway relative to the aircraft, the labelled image being sent to a shared database and stored in the database; a step of learning by a neural network of the runway from the labelled images stored in the shared database, at the end of the step the neural network being trained; a step of sending of the trained neural network to at least one of the aircraft (A1).

Abstract: The method carries out a measurement of the distance from the ground of an aircraft by undertaking the emission of waveforms making it possible to obtain, after demodulation, of the signals received in return and sampling of the demodulated signals at a frequency Féch, two signals E0*(t) and E1*(t), taking the form of two frequency ramps, of respective slopes K0 and K1, of respective passbands B0 and B1 and of respective durations TE0 and TE1, the N-point FFT spectral analysis of which is carried out. The values of the durations TE0 and TE1 as well as those of the passbands B0 and B1, are defined in such a way as to be able to determine, on the basis of the spectra of the signals E0*(t) and E1*(t), a measurement of non-ambiguous distance d1 covering the maximum distance dmax to be instrumented and an ambiguous distance d0 exhibiting the desired distance resolution. The distance d to be measured being determined by combining these two measurements.

Abstract: A proximity radar method for a rotary-wing aircraft includes a sequence of phases T(k) of steps. In a first phase T(1), the electronic computer of the radar system computes unambiguous synthetic patterns on the basis of a first activated interferometric pattern M(1) of N unitary radiating groups. In the following phases T(k) of steps, executed successively in increasing order of k, the electronic computer computes synthetic patterns on the basis of interferometric patterns M(k) of rank k, wherein the N unitary radiating groups of a series deviate simultaneously in terms of azimuth and in terms of elevation as k increases, and establishes maps of rank k of the surroundings in terms of azimuth distance/direction and/or elevation distance/direction cells wherein the detected obstacle ambiguities, associated with the network lobes, are removed by virtue of the map(s) provided in the preceding phase or phases.
