    Abstract: Method for controlling an unmanned aircraft piloted by a fully autonomous control system including a first decision module and a simplex piloting control module including a high-performance controller, a high-safety controller and a second decision module, the high-performance and high-safety controllers determining piloting commands for the robot-aircraft, according to which: —as long as a set of conditions is verified, implementation by the first decision module of a nominal piloting mode with delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex piloting control module; —otherwise, switching to an emergency piloting mode, an emergency piloting command is delivered to the output of the automatic control system for execution by the robot-aircraft, the first decision module preventing the delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex module.
