Abstract:
1. A device for the surveillance of an aircraft, comprising: an intrusion detection module; an image acquisition module; an energy management module connected to the intrusion detection and image acquisition modules; and an autonomous power source that supplies power to the intrusion detection module, the image acquisition module and the energy management module, wherein the intrusion detection module is configured to furnish the energy management module with a detection signal having a first predetermined state when an intrusion is detected and a second predetermined state otherwise, the energy management module is configured to make the device change over from a waiting mode to a working mode by activating the supply of power, from the autonomous power source, to the image acquisition module when the detection signal changes over from the second predetermined state to the first predetermined state, and the energy management module includes a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) control circuit, the CPLD control circuit being configured to in the waiting mode, only the CPLD control circuit is supplied with power.
