Abstract

A method of facilitating the landing of a civil aircraft on a potential landing zone divided into sub-zones. The method includes a step of producing a digital surface model of the potential landing zone using topographic terrain data. In a placement step, the digital surface model is positioned and/or orientated in space to obtain a placed digital surface model. In a calculation step, an overall risk level is calculated for each sub-zone on the basis of the placed digital surface model and characteristics of the sub-zone including topography, accessibility, loss of visibility, and presence of living beings. A reporting step comprises generating an information signal dependent on the overall risk levels, and/or transmitting a control signal dependent on the overall risk levels.

Abstract

The elementary antenna includes a radiating element, provided with N excitation zones, and a transmit and receive module, including, for each integer i between 1 and N, an i-th chain connected, via an i-th feed line to the i-th excitation zone, the i-th chain including an i-th amplifier. The elementary antenna includes, in the i-th chain, an i-th robustness phase shifter on a first side of the i-th amplifier, between the i-th amplifier and the radiating element, and an i-th compensation phase shifter on a second side of the i-th amplifier, opposite the first side. The sum of phases brought in by the i-th robustness phase shifter and compensation phase shifter is constant whatever the chain considered, and the phase brought in by the i-th robustness phase shifter is strictly different from the phase brought in by the other robustness phase shifters of the other chains of the elementary antenna.

Abstract

A method for establishing a communication of the IP multimedia subsystem in local routing mode where user data are routed directly at one or more interconnected satellites, without passing through the ground, between two UE terminals connected to a regenerative satellite of a communication network comprising a satellite constellation. A session control function of the IMS core network interrogates a server linked to the satellite constellation with the information relating to the satellite access networks of the two terminals. The server is able to determine, by verification of an inter-satellite link between the regenerative satellites corresponding to the information relating to the satellite access networks of the two terminals, whether local routing of the user plane without passing through the ground is available to directly connect the two terminals are connected by link.

Abstract

A radar system with a radome is protected from lightning strikes by a conductive projection projecting into space outside the radome in the manner of a lightning rod, and passing through the wall of the radome to the inside, where its proximal part is in electrical contact with, or in so close proximity as to constitute a spark gap with an internal conductive member which passes within the radome to provide a conductive path for example via a platform on which an antenna may be mounted, to ground, so as to provide a viable path from the conductive projection to ground.
