This invention relates to the field of sea surveillance and to the detection of drifting slicks of pollutants. The method according to the invention uses rotating-antenna pulse radar to implement two separate processing modes: - one conventional operating mode in which the radar carries out the detection, positioning and trajectory analysis of the objects (11) situated in the region of space that is scanned, - a mapping-type operating mode, in which the radar maps two bands of the surface (12) extending laterally in relation to the forward-moving direction of the aircraft, while producing the high-resolution image of the scanned areas, the two operating modes being implemented for different angular sectors at each rotation of the antenna. The invention applies in particular to radar systems equipping aircraft responsible for maritime and coastal patrol missions.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la surveillance maritime et de la détection de nappes dérivantes de produits polluants. Le procédé selon l'invention exploite une radar à impulsions, à antenne rotative, pour mettre en oeuvre deux modes de traitement distincts: - un mode de fonctionnement classique dans lequel le radar effectue la détection, la localisation et l'analyse de la trajectoire des objets (11 ) situés dans la région de l'espace balayée, - un mode de fonctionnement de type cartographique, dans lequel le radar réalise la cartographie de deux bandes de la surface (12) s'étendant latéralement par rapport à la direction de progression de l'aéronef en élaborant l'image à haute résolution des zones balayées les deux modes de fonctionnement étant mis en AEuvre pour des secteurs angulaires différents à chaque tour d'antenne. L'invention s'applique en particulier au systèmes radar équipement les aéronefs chargés de missions de patrouille maritime et côtière.
