DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PLANNING A SURVEILLANCE MISSION ON AREAS OF INTEREST THAT CAN BE PERFORMED WITH A RECONNOITRING SYSTEM USING A RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT

摘要

Described herein is a method for planning a surveillance mission of one or more areas via a reconnaissance aircraft (2), comprising the steps of : establishing (120) at least one first display constraint correlated to a state of visibility of the target within an area and at least one second display constraint correlated to the minimum dimension (DOmin) of the target in the area; determining (140) a set of main parameters correlated to the capacity of observation of the area and a set of secondary parameters correlated to the conditions of environmental visibility; calculating (210) 'a maximum threshold of observability (DMOC) of the target; and calculating a maximum reconnoitring distance (DMR) of the aircraft (2) as a function of the area in order to signal a condition of impossibility of planning of the surveillance mission when the maximum reconnoitring distance (DMR) and the maximum threshold of observability (DMOC) satisfy between them a first pre-set condition of observability.
