  • a console (20) provided with a directional antenna (34) adapted to be directed towards the drone to maintain the quality of the wireless link, andvirtual reality glasses (40) rendering images (I) taken by means of the imaging means and transmitted from the drone by the wireless link, as well as visual indications included in the rendered images,the system being characterized in that it further includes;

    means (15, 38, 39, 410-450) for determining a defined angular coordinate (γ

    ) between a heading direction (CC) of the console and a direction (D) of the drone; and

    means sensitive to said determination means, to include in said visual indications an indication of misalignment (C, Ce, G, Id) of the drone with respect to the console heading, this indication of misalignment being function of said determined angular coordinate (γ

    ),so as to allow a user of the console to perform a corrective action of reorientation of the console towards a reduction of said angular coordinate (γ

    ).
