UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM AND FLIGHT CONTROL METHOD

To provide an unmanned aircraft system in which an unmanned aircraft has improved operability.SOLUTION: An unmanned aircraft system 100 includes: an unmanned aircraft 110; and a transmitter 120 capable of remotely controlling the unmanned aircraft 110. The unmanned aircraft 110 includes: an object detection unit for detecting a location of an object; a control unit for controlling flight of the unmanned aircraft; and a communication unit for communicating with the transmitter 120. The control unit has an operation mode for enabling interruption flight control with an operation signal when receiving the operation signal relating to remote control from the transmitter 120 via the communication unit while controlling automatic flight of the unmanned aircraft on the basis of a detection result by the object detection unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】無人航空機の操作性を改善した無人航空機システムを提供する。【解決手段】本発明の無人航空機システム１００は、無人航空機１１０と、無人航空機１１０を遠隔操作可能な送信機１２０とを含む。無人航空機１１０は、対象物の位置を検出する物体検出部と、無人航空機の飛行を制御する制御部と、送信機１２０と通信する通信部とを含み、制御部は、物体検出部の検出結果に基づき無人航空機の自動飛行の制御中に、通信部を介して送信機１２０から遠隔操作に関する操作信号を受け取ったとき、当該操作信号による割り込み飛行制御を可能にする操作モードを有する。【選択図】図３
