  • a radar system which is followed by a data processing system, is generally used to monitor such action areas.

  • the method according to the invention thus creates numerous possibilities for considerably simplifying and improving the interpretation of a radar image not only with regard to moving targets, but also with regard to temporarily or temporarily existing solid objects or targets.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, un système radar fixe couvrant une zone d'action placée sous surveillance, telle qu'un aéroport, un port maritime ou un port fluvial, génère des images radar. Une image optique (image aérienne) de ladite zone d'action est superposée, au moyen d'un système de traitement de données, sur chaque image radar de cette zone d'action sous surveillance, qui est générée au moyen du système radar. L'image combinée de la zone d'action, obtenue par cette superposition, est transmise à une plate-forme d'observation et de surveillance d'une tour, puis à des moniteurs de réception de cibles mobiles dans la zone d'action, et représentée sur ceux-ci. A partir de cette pluralité de cibles mobiles d'une image combinée, la position instantanée de, et éventuellement également une partie de la trajectoire déjà parcourue par, une cible mobile peut être mise en surbrillance (par luminescence résiduelle), sur son moniteur de réception, au moyen d'un système de réception GPS en mode différentiel, qui est associé à ladite cible mobile et avec laquelle il peut se raccorder.
