Les navires, en général, comportent des passerelles de conduite qui sont situées dans les superstructures et qui permettent à l'officier chargé de la conduite du navire de voir ce qui se passe autour du navire et de prendre les décisions nécessaires pour la conduite du navire. Lorsque ces navires sont des navires militaires, ils comportent en outre une salle de conduite opérationnelle recevant des informations en temps réel sur la situation de l'environnement du navire en général, et plus particulièrement de la situation tactique, et qui permet à des officiers chargés notamment du système d'armes du navire, de prendre les décisions nécessaires et de transmettre les ordres qui s'imposent.Vessels, in general, have walkways located in the superstructures that allow the officer in charge of the ship to see what is going on around the ship and make the necessary decisions for the conduct of the ship . When these vessels are military vessels, they also include an operational control room that receives real-time information on the environment of the ship in general, and in particular the tactical situation, and allows including the ship's weapon system, to make the necessary decisions and to issue the necessary orders.

En général, la salle de conduite opérationnelle est installée à l'intérieur du navire dans un local qui comporte des moyens d'analyse de l'environnement du navire.In general, the operational control room is installed inside the ship in a room that includes means for analyzing the environment of the ship.

Cette disposition présente plusieurs inconvénients.This arrangement has several disadvantages.

Tout d'abord les officiers chargés de la conduite du système d'armes du navire, ne sont pas en contact direct avec la passerelle et n'ont pas une perception directe de l'environnement du navire.First of all the officers in charge of the operation of the ship's weapon system, are not in direct contact with the bridge and do not have a direct perception of the environment of the ship.

Le deuxième inconvénient de cette disposition est que les moyens d'analyse de l'environnement du navire sont limités aux moyens qui peuvent être embarqués sur le navire lui-même. Ces moyens sont limités par la capacité du navire et par la nature et la quantité des informations dont il peut disposer.The second disadvantage of this provision is that the means of analysis of the environment of the ship are limited to the means that can be embarked on the ship itself. These means are limited by the capacity of the ship and the nature and quantity of information available to it.

Par ailleurs, lorsque les conditions météorologiques ne sont pas favorables, la vision directe de l'environnement depuis la passerelle est limitée et les informations fournies par les moyens complémentaires de perception de l'environnement tels que des radars, peuvent être insuffisants. Ces problèmes d'insuffisance de perception de l'environnement du navire, particulièrement cruciaux pour les navires militaires, peuvent également se poser pour des navires civils.In addition, when the weather conditions are not favorable, the direct vision of the environment from the bridge is limited and the information provided by the additional means of perception of the environment such as radars, may be insufficient. These problems of insufficient perception of the ship's environment, particularly crucial for military ships, may also arise for civilian ships.

En outre, cette disposition nécessite la présence sur chaque navire d'un personnel spécialisé qui vient augmenter l'équipage.In addition, this provision requires the presence on each ship of specialized personnel who comes to increase the crew.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une architecture de navires qui permette à l'équipe des officiers de contrôle du navire d'avoir une perception plus directe de l'environnement du navire et qui, éventuellement, leur permette de disposer d'informations plus complètes que celles dont le navire peut disposer directement.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a ship architecture which allows the ship control officer team to have a more direct perception of the ship environment and which, if necessary, allows them to to have more complete information than that which the ship can dispose directly.

The direct view is obtained via portholes arranged on the front face of the bridge, as well as on the rear face, and possibly on the lateral sides of said bridge.

Lorsque la passerelle comporte des hublots ou des parties vitrées sur toutes ses faces, elle permet une vision à 360° de son environnement.When the bridge has portholes or glass parts on all sides, it allows a 360 ° view of its environment.

Le navire comporte également une salle 3 de conduite opérationnelle de son système d'armes qui est reliée à des moyens 4 d'analyse de l'environnement du navire. Ces moyens 4 d'analyse de l'environnement du navire sont constitués d'un certain nombre d'équipements connus en eux-mêmes d'analyse informatique et de visualisation d'informations provenant de capteurs situés à la partie supérieure du navire, et notamment dans la mâture 5.The ship also has a room 3 for the operational conduct of its weapons system which is connected to means 4 for analyzing the environment of the ship. These means 4 of analysis of the environment of the ship consist of a number of equipment known in themselves computer analysis and visualization of information from sensors located at the upper part of the ship, including in the mast 5.

Ces capteurs sont de façon classique des radars, des moyens de détection électromagnétique, des moyens de détection optique ou tout autre moyen de détection dont peut être équipé un navire militaire, ainsi que des moyens de télécommunication recevant des informations émises par des moyens extérieurs au navire.These sensors are conventionally radar, electromagnetic detection means, optical detection means or any other detection means that can be equipped with a military ship, as well as telecommunication means receiving information transmitted by means external to the ship.

L'analyse des informations est faite en partie automatiquement à l'aide d'ordinateurs, et en partie, par des opérateurs qui peuvent transmettre les informations à la salle de conduite opérationnelle 3.Part of the analysis of the information is done automatically using computers, and partly by operators who can transmit the information to the operational control room 3.

Ces informations sont notamment des images qui peuvent être vues de la plate-forme du navire et qui sont fournies par des moyens de vision en lumière visible. Mais ces images peuvent également être des images fournies par des moyens de vision nocturne. Les moyens de vision, en lumière visible ou nocturne, sont constitués de caméras disposées à la périphérie de la passerelle du navire et/ou éventuellement de caméras disposées à la périphérie de la super structure du navire.This information includes images that can be seen from the ship's platform and that are provided by visible light viewing means. But these images can also be images provided by night vision means. The means of vision, in visible or nocturnal light, consist of cameras arranged at the periphery of the ship's bridge and / or possibly cameras disposed at the periphery of the super-structure of the ship.

En outre, sur les écrans peuvent être superposées des images issues de moyens de détection d'objets situés dans l'environnement du navire, et en particulier d'objets en déplacement, tels que d'autres navires, tels que des avions, tels que des missiles, ou même tels que des objets sous-marins, tels que des torpilles.In addition, on the screens can be superimposed images from means for detecting objects located in the environment of the ship, and in particular objects on the move, such as other ships, such as aircraft, such as missiles, or even such as underwater objects, such as torpedoes.

Ces images sont élaborées à partir d'informations fournies par les moyens de détection du navire, et sont mises en forme par des moyens de traitement des images et par des moyens d'analyse d'environnement du navire. Les images peuvent être complétés par des affichages d'informations utilisables par les opérateurs pour analyser la situation tactique. Ces informations sont par exemple des informations relatives à la nature, à la vitesse ou la distance des objets situés autour du navire.These images are developed from information provided by the ship detection means, and are shaped by image processing means and by means of environment analysis of the ship. The images can be supplemented by displays of information that can be used by the operators to analyze the tactical situation. These information is for example information relating to the nature, speed or distance of the objects located around the ship.

Les moyens de détection sont des moyens connus en eux-mêmes, qui peuvent être des caméras en lumière visible 35A avec éventuellement des amplificateurs de lumière et/ou des caméras infrarouges 35B permettant une vision nocturne disposées sur les superstructures du navire, des radars 35C disposés dans la mâture 5, des sonars 35D disposés sur la coque, sous la ligne de flottaison. Tous ces équipements renvoient des informations à des moyens d'analyse informatique en particulier qui élaborent des images en temps réel représentant d'une part les images telles qu'elles sont visibles et d'autre part les informations d'interprétation complémentaires citées précédemment.The detection means are means known per se, which may be visible light cameras 35A possibly with light amplifiers and / or infrared cameras 35B allowing night vision arranged on the superstructures of the ship, 35C radars arranged in the mast 5, sonars 35D disposed on the hull, below the waterline. All these devices return information to computer analysis means in particular that develop real-time images representing on the one hand the images as they are visible and on the other hand the additional interpretation information mentioned above.

Ces moyens d'analyse peuvent ne représenter qu'une partie des moyens 4 d'analyse de l'environnement cités précédemment. Ils peuvent, éventuellement, nécessiter l'intervention d'opérateurs humains pour élaborer certaines informations.These analysis means may represent only part of the means 4 for analyzing the environment mentioned above. They may eventually require the intervention of human operators to develop certain information.

Dans le mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, la salle de conduite opérationnelle 3 permet un accès direct à la passerelle, ce qui à l'avantage de permettre aux opérateurs et aux officiers qui interviennent dans la salle de conduite opérationnelle de pouvoir intervenir également dans la passerelle selon les circonstances.In the embodiment just described, the operational control room 3 allows direct access to the bridge, which has the advantage of allowing operators and officers who intervene in the operational control room to be able to intervene. also in the gateway depending on the circumstances.

En revanche, les moyens d'analyse de l'environnement 4 sont séparés et sont situés à l'intérieur du navire dans une zone qui est plus en profondeur dans la structure du navire et qui est protégée de l'environnement. Cette disposition permet de réduire les effectifs de personnels qui sont nécessaires pour assurer la conduite du navire tout en gardant l'autonomie et l'indépendance des moyens d'analyse de l'environnement.On the other hand, the environmental analysis means 4 are separated and are located inside the ship in an area that is deeper in the ship's structure and is protected from the environment. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the number of personnel that are necessary to ensure the conduct of the ship while maintaining the autonomy and independence of the means of environmental analysis.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, représenté à la figure 3, le navire 1', comporte une passerelle 2', et une salle de conduite opérationnelle 3', qui permet un accès direct à la passerelle de conduite 2'. Le navire comporte également des moyens de détection et de télécommunication propres 5'. Cependant le navire est en relation par des moyens de télécommunication externe 20, qui sont par exemple un satellite, avec un poste d'analyse de la situation tactique 21 qui est, par exemple, situé à terre.In another embodiment, shown in Figure 3, the vessel 1 'comprises a bridge 2', and an operational control room 3 ', which allows direct access to the conduit 2'. The ship also has own detection and telecommunication means 5 '. However, the ship is in communication by external telecommunication means 20, which are for example a satellite, with a tactical situation analysis station 21 which is, for example, located on the ground.

Dans cette disposition, le poste d'analyse de la situation tactique 21 d'une part peut recevoir des informations en provenance d'autres navires ou d'autres moyens de surveillance de la situation tactique, tels que des avions de surveillance, des satellites, des moyens d'écoute sous-marins etc..., et d'autre part peut disposer de moyens très lourds de mise en forme de l'analyse de la situation tactique.In this provision, the Tactical Situation Analysis Station 21 may receive information from other vessels or other tactical surveillance means, such as surveillance aircraft, satellites, underwater listening equipment etc ..., and on the other hand can have very heavy means of formatting the analysis of the tactical situation.

Avec cette disposition les informations qui sont mises à disposition des opérateurs dans la salle de conduite tactique 3', sont élaborées par des moyens d'analyse de la situation tactique 21 et sont transmis par l'intermédiaire de moyens de télécommunication, notamment du satellite 20 au navire. Dans cette disposition, d'une part les besoins de moyens d'analyse de la situation tactique embarquée dans le navire sont sensiblement diminués, d'autre part un ensemble de navires intervenant de façon groupée, par exemple une escadre, peuvent recevoir des informations cohérentes venant d'un seul moyen d'analyse de la situation tactique.With this provision, the information that is made available to the operators in the tactical control room 3 'is developed by means of analysis of the tactical situation 21 and is transmitted by means of telecommunication means, in particular the satellite 20 to the ship. In this provision, on the one hand, the need for means of analysis of the tactical situation onboard the ship are substantially reduced, on the other hand a group of ships operating in a grouped manner, for example a squadron, can receive consistent information. coming from a single means of analyzing the tactical situation.

Dans les modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, les moyens d'analyse tactique sont situés dans le navire ou sont situés à terre. Mais, ces moyens peuvent aussi être situés dans un navire amiral d'une escadre, ou dans un navire d'assistance dont la fonction est une fonction spécialisée dans l'analyse de la situation tactique, ou enfin peuvent être disposés dans un aéronef qui accompagne le navire.In the embodiments just described, the tactical analysis means are located in the ship or are located on land. But, these means can also be located in a flagship of a wing, or in a service ship whose function is a specialized function in the analysis of the tactical situation, or finally can be arranged in an aircraft that accompanies vessel.

La seule nécessité est de disposer de moyens de télécommunication qui permettent d'une part d'envoyer au moyen d'analyse tactique des informations sur un environnement qui concerne le navire. D'autre part des moyens de télécommunication qui permettent de renvoyer ces informations vers le navire concerné. Enfin dans tous les cas, le navire doit comporter une salle dite "tactique opérationnelle" disposant de moyens de réalité virtuelle et/ou de réalité augmentée.The only need is to have telecommunication means that allow on the one hand to send by means of tactical analysis information on an environment that concerns the ship. On the other hand telecommunication means that allow to send this information to the ship concerned. Finally, in all cases, the ship must include a room called "operational tactics" with means of virtual reality and / or augmented reality.

Dans les modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, les navires sont a priori des navires militaires et reçoivent des informations relatives à leur environnement qui concernent d'une part la nature, la position et les actions des navires alliés, et d'autre part la nature et la position de navires ennemis, ainsi que des informations sur des objets mobiles agressifs se déplaçant en direction des navires, tels que des missiles, des avions ou des torpilles.In the embodiments which have just been described, the ships are a priori military ships and receive information relating to their environment which concerns on the one hand the nature, the position and the actions of the allied ships, and on the other hand the nature and position of enemy ships, as well as information on aggressive moving objects moving towards ships, such as missiles, planes or torpedoes.

Mais, les moyens de réalité virtuelle et/ou de réalité augmentée peuvent être adaptés pour faciliter le pilotage de navires dans des zones encombrées telles que des ports ou des zones d'intervention au large à proximité d'autres navires ou d'installation telles que des plates-formes pétrolières. Ces moyens peuvent améliorer sensiblement les conditions de sécurité, notamment lorsque la visibilité est très réduite du fait du brouillard, de la présence de fumée, ou du fait de la nuit.But, the virtual reality and / or augmented reality means can be adapted to facilitate the piloting of vessels in congested areas such as ports or offshore intervention areas near other vessels or facilities such as oil platforms. These means can significantly improve safety conditions, especially when the visibility is very low due to fog, the presence of smoke, or because of the night.

Aussi, un tel système d'analyse de l'environnement du navire peut être utilisé également à des fins civiles. En particulier, un moyen d'analyser la situation tactique situé à terre peut, par exemple, être un moyen de surveillance d'une zone de circulation intense de navires marchands. Ce système peut alors envoyer à chacun des navires qui circulent dans la zone les informations qui peuvent être visualisées dans une salle de conduite tactique et qui permet aux opérateurs de conduire le navire dans de meilleures conditions de sécurité, notamment lorsque la visibilité est très réduite.Also, such a system of analysis of the environment of the ship can be used also for civil purposes. In particular, a means of analyzing the tactical situation on the ground may, for example, be a means of monitoring an area of heavy traffic of merchant ships. This system can then send to each ship that circulates in the area information that can be viewed in a tactical control room and allows operators to drive the ship in better safety, especially when visibility is very reduced.

Il convient de souligner que la salle de conduite opérationnelle équipée des moyens de visualisation panoramique de l'environnement du navire est distincte de la passerelle de conduite et en est séparée ou peut en être séparée physiquement. En général, la salle de conduite opérationnelle ne comporte pas de hublots ou de baies vitrées permettant une vue directe sur l'environnement. Lorsque la salle de conduite opérationnelle comporte des ouvertures permettant une vue directe sur l'environnement, cette vue est très limitée. Dans tous les cas, les moyens de visualisation permettent d'avoir une vue panoramique sur l'environnement, réaliste, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de visualisation d'image tels que les écrans. Ces moyens sont adaptés pour permettre la conduite du navire dans des conditions de sécurité pour la navigation au moins égales à celles qui sont offertes par la passerelle de conduite. Ces moyens peuvent afficher des moyens ou des informations fournis non seulement par des caméras, mais également par des radars, des senseurs infrarouges, des sonars, des cartes électroniques etc.It should be emphasized that the operational control room equipped with means of panoramic visualization of the environment of the ship is distinct from the driving bridge and is separate or physically separate therefrom. In general, the operational control room does not have portholes or bay windows allowing a direct view of the environment. When the operational control room has openings allowing a direct view of the environment, this view is very limited. In all cases, the display means allow to have a realistic panoramic view of the environment through image display means such as screens. These means are adapted to allow the conduct of the ship in conditions of safety for navigation at least equal to those offered by the bridge. These means can display means or information provided not only by cameras, but also by radars, infrared sensors, sonars, electronic cards etc.

Il convient également de souligner que la salle de conduite opérationnelle selon l'invention est destinée non seulement à permettre de conduire le navire sans être dans la passerelle de conduite, mais également à assurer d'autres fonctions de gestion et de conduite des navires. En particulier, lorsque le navire est un navire militaire, la salle de conduite opérationnelle est destinée ou peut être destinée à la conduite du système d'armes du navire et à la gestion de la sécurité interne du navire, en particulier à la gestion de la sécurité incendie.It should also be emphasized that the operational driving room according to the invention is intended not only to allow the ship to be driven without being in the driving bridge, but also to provide other management and ship management functions. In particular, when the ship is a military ship, the operational control room is intended or may be intended for the operation of the ship's weapon system and for the management of the internal safety of the ship, in particular the management of the ship. fire safety.

Pour pouvoir assurer la conduite du système d'arme la salle de conduite opérationnelle reçoit des informations de nature tactique fournies par des moyens de détection d'objets et notamment d'objets agressifs, ainsi que des informations élaborées par des moyens d'analyse tactique qui peuvent être soit des opérateurs humains soit des ordinateurs équipés de logiciels adaptés. Ces moyens sont connus de l'homme du métier. En général, ces moyens sont situés hors de la salle de conduite opérationnelle. Néanmoins, certain de ces moyens peuvent être situés dans la salle de conduite opérationnelle, le cas échéant.In order to be able to drive the weapon system, the operational control room receives tactical information provided by means for detecting objects, particularly aggressive objects, as well as information developed by means of tactical analysis which can be either human operators or computers equipped with appropriate software. These means are known to those skilled in the art. In general, these means are located outside the operational control room. Nevertheless, some of these means may be located in the Operative Control Room, as appropriate.

L'homme du métier comprendra que les informations reçues dans la salle de conduite opérationnelle peuvent comprendre, à la fois, des informations provenant de moyens situés sur le navire et des informations provenant de moyens extérieurs au navire.Those skilled in the art will understand that the information received in the operational control room may include both information from means on the ship and information from means external to the ship.

Enfin, afin de permettre une meilleure coopération entre les différents opérateurs qui interviennent dans la salle de conduite opérationnelle, on peut prévoir des postes d'opérateurs équipés d'écrans comportant des zones d'écrans partagées permettant d'afficher des informations complémentaires.Finally, in order to allow a better cooperation between the various operators who intervene in the operational control room, one can provide operator stations equipped with screens with shared screen areas to display additional information.
