Abstract
Method and device for steering a convoy (1) having a follower vehicle (2) to be protected and a weight-based decoy system (4), this method and these device being relative to the following steps: steering a controller of yaw-wise direction of the weight-based decoy system (4) depending on a route to follow, the weight-based decoy system (4) defining a safe track that is made so by passage of at least one axle-and-wheels assembly (5) suitable for exerting pressure on the ground; steering the follower vehicle (2) so that its wheels follow a path that falls on the safe track defined by the weight-based decoy system (4).
