The DTIS (InformationProcessing and Systems Department) conducts study and research related to methods and tools for certification, autonomy, multidisciplinary design, systems of systems, intelligence and surveillance, applied mathematics
Its featured technical fields therefore include aerodynamics, propulsion, materials, structures, physics, sensors, informationprocessing, and systems engineering. Each issue focuses on a specific field of interest to the international scientific community
Its featured technical fields therefore include aerodynamics, propulsion, materials, structures, physics, sensors, informationprocessing, and systems engineering. Most of the articles of this issue address numerical simulations and the thorough understanding of noise generation, topics which are directly linked to" the reduction of noise at the source", probably the most conventional axis for noise reduction among those promoted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) "balanced approach"
We asked Claude Barrouil, head of Onera's InformationProcessing and Systems branch, to shed some light on drone autonomy... Claude Barrouil, head of Onera's InformationProcessing and Systems branch... "Our aim is to give drones eyes", says Guy Le Besnerais, research leader in the InformationProcessing and Modeling department
"Unfortunately, there is no universal calculation software", regrets François Xavier Roux, researcher at the ONERA" Modeling and InformationProcessing" Department (DTIM). "The fluid and mechanical structure calculations are already complex, and the same language isn't used in these fields, nor the same meshing (dividing space into small volumes, or elements) and it would thus be very complicated to create a new calculation code integrating both branches of physics"

The new information systems will completely change the interaction of operators with the system and will facilitate the acquisition, processing, transfer and storage of test data. ONERA's systems, although fully operational, had missed" some IT revolutions" and were longer really suitable for the automatic operation of recent types of tests, such as PIV (particle image velocimetry), PSP (pressure sensitive paint), or the processing of very large volumes of aeroacoustics results
According to information provided by public databases in the United States, there are over 8 000 man-made objects in orbit around the Earth (excluding American military satellites, which is very confidential information)... These are fed into the orbital processing algorithms developed by ONERA's researchers to calculate the orbital parameters of the detected satellites
In order to facilitate access to these technologies and master their complexity, Onera will provide operating tools to its partners and customers, such as databases, processing and computer operating channels, as well as the necessary support (training, research partnership, etc.). The organization of" the idea to completed result" airborne campaigns, the in-flight performance evaluation and the experimental characterization of the processing and results are part of the service provided by LIMA
