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 system and method for the avoidance of one or more obstacles by an aircraft, and a related computer program product, electronic system and aircraft are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes a) generating an alert by a warning system on detection of an obstacle and b) if no manual avoidance maneuver is detected for a time period longer than a first determined time and if the alert is maintained during this first time period, automatically activating an automatic avoidance guide mode to determine an obstacle-avoidance guidance rule. The method further including c) if an autopilot device of the aircraft is coupled to the automatic avoidance guide mode, transmitting to the autopilot device the avoidance guidance rule determined in step b) for automatic performing of a maneuver to avoid the obstacle.
