Abstract: The invention relates to a target characterisation method for a detection device of multi-panel radar or sonar type with electronic scanning, comprising the steps of:



generating a plurality of pulses on a plurality of antenna panels (PE1, PE2, PE3) of the detection device according to a temporal and angular interleaving pattern, so as to perform a scan over all of the relative bearing domain of the detection device;
generating a plurality of detection maps, by the acquisition of a plurality of observations combined with one another by coherent or non-coherent integration of the echoes corresponding to the plurality of pulses, each detection map being obtained in a given direction (EL1, EL2, EL3) corresponding to the width of the main lobe of the antenna panel;
combining the detection maps so as to detect a presence of a target in the relative bearing domain of the detection device.
