The present invention relates to a method for determining positions by an optronic system in a scene, the scene comprising reference elements of known geographic coordinates, the optronic system comprising the following elements integrated into said optronic system:
a. a digital imager,
b. a memory wherein is stored, for each reference element of the scene, an indicator representative of said point associated with the geographic coordinates of said point,
c. a display element that displays the indicators stored in the memory,
d. a measurement module comprising at least one element chosen from among: a compass, a goniometer and a telemeter,
e. a calculation unit,
the method being implemented by the elements integrated in the optronic system.
A method for selecting at least one satellite navigation service provider from a plurality of predetermined providers, the selection method being computer-implemented and comprising: a step for receiving a geographical position; a step of determining an indication relating to the authorization of use of at least one provider of the plurality of predetermined providers, the determining step being implemented by at least one artificial neural network (24) associated with said provider, an input variable of the artificial neural network (24) being the geographical position, an output variable of the artificial neural network (24) being said indication; a step for selecting at least one provider for satellite navigation of an aircraft.
