Abstract
The invention relates to a reconfiguration process for an aircraft environment surveillance device including at least two redundant electronic systems (2, 2′), where each system includes at least two surveillance sets (4-10, 4′-10′) able to provide information about the aircraft's environment. The inventive method and apparatus includes the following steps and structures: detection of simultaneous unavailability (S1, S4) of at least one surveillance set of the first system (4-10) and of at least one surveillance set of a second system (4′-10′); and, in the case where at least two unavailable sets (4-10, 4′-10′) are not redundant sets, automatic selection (S3, S6) of the information obtained, on the one hand, from the available surveillance sets of the first system (4-10), and, on the other hand, from the redundant surveillance set or sets of the second system (4′-10′) that matches the unavailable surveillance set or sets of the first system (4-10).
