Abstract
A method of navigation of an aerial drone in the presence of at least one intruding aircraft in an airspace zone surrounding the drone, wherein an estimated distance between the drone and the intruding aircraft is calculated based on a strength of the signal received and validated if an estimated value of an element of positioning data calculated by the drone using the estimated distance substantially corresponds to a measured value of the element of positioning data. An aerial drone designed for implementation of this method.
