Abstract
Electronic system and method for preventing a risk of collision for an aircraft, associated computer program The invention relates to an electronic system for preventing a risk of collision for an aircraft (10), comprising: - a module for receiving a position of the aircraft; - a module for obtaining, from an obstacle database and according to the aircraft position, at least one obstacle volume; and - a control module for displaying at least one obstacle volume, and / or for generating an alert in case of risk of penetration into an obstacle volume.At least one obstacle volume is a global obstacle volume (GOV) encompassing at least partially a plurality of obstacles (70) and comprising an envelope (72) with an upper surface (74) of area (A) greater than a predefined minimum area, the upper surface (74) having a constant elevation and being, at at least one point, at least a predefined minimum height from the ground (76).
