Abstract: A method for guiding an autonomous aircraft, the aircraft includes an automatic pilot, a plurality of sensors and an imaging unit, the aircraft being configured to fly over a geographic zone comprising overflight prohibited zones, the guidance method can advantageously comprise a phase of real flight of the autonomous aircraft by using a given guidance law, comprising the following steps: determining a current state of the autonomous aircraft; determining an optimum action to be executed by using a neural network receiving the current state; determining a plurality of control instructions compatible with the guidance law based on the optimum action to be executed; transmitting to the automatic pilot the plurality of control instructions, which provides a new state of the autonomous aircraft.
