    Abstract: The device includes at least: a set of optical and/or electromagnetic elementary sensors which are able to fly and means of command for piloting the flight of the sensors; processing means; a communication link between each sensor and the processing means; to produce an image of a given scene, the sensors fly while forming an array whose configuration is controlled by the command means, the processing means fusing the signals provided by the sensors with a view to delivering an image of the scene, the signals provided being representative of the scene.

    Abstract: Upon each new detection, called pivot detection, by a radar system, the method includes the steps consisting of: grouping together, with the pivot detection, grouped detections, defined as detections that belong to a sweep preceding the sweep of the pivot detection and that have a non-nil probability according to a grouping criterion; filtering the grouped detections so as to keep only detections that are kinematically strictly coherent with the pivot detection, by: initializing a histogram, each dimension of which is a temporal variation of a coordinate measured by the radar system; computing a potential value interval for each coordinate of the pivot detection and each grouped detection; computing a minimum temporal variation and a maximum temporal variation for the or each coordinate from potential value intervals of the pivot detection and each grouped detection; incrementing the set of classes of the histogram whose index along each dimension is located between the computed minimum and maximum temporal variations; and detecting a target once at least one class of the histogram reaches a predefined value.

    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: A method for determining wave height by means of a radar carried by an aircraft, the method implementing the following steps: a first step of pointing the antenna of the radar; a second step of determining the clutter acquisition plan according to the altitude of the aircraft; a third step of determining, for each clutter zone defined by the acquisition plan, two Doppler parameters PARA1 and PARA2 characterising the zone as a whole; a fourth step of calculating the average values of the parameters PARA1 and PARA2 over all of the zones in question; and a fifth step of estimating the wave height from the averages of the parameters PARA1 and PARA2. The wave height estimated in this way is transmitted to the aircraft and used to determine the conditions for the water landing of the aircraft.
