SEARCH SYSTEM USING FLYING OBJECT

To provide a search system using a flying object, which can quickly find a person to be rescued.SOLUTION: The search system comprises: a plurality of drones 10 (10a-10j) each of which is provided with a communication machine 50 and a camera 25; and a general control unit 80 that controls the communication machine 50, the camera 25, and the drones 10. The general control unit 80 causes the drones 10 (10a-10j) to fly from a search station 100 to a search region, causes them to fly low in teams formed at predetermined intervals D in the search region upon reaching the search region, when one of the communication machines 50 (50a-50j) included in the drones 10 (10a-10j) receives a rescue signal RS transmitted from a person P to be rescued, causes the camera 25 (25b) of the drone 10 (10b) equipped with the communication machine 50 (50b) that has received the rescue signal RS to photograph the state of the person P to be rescued, and causes the communication machine 50 (50b) that has received the rescue signal RS to transmit photographing data of the camera 25 (25b) and position information of the person P to be rescued to the search station 100.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】救助対象者を迅速に発見することができる飛行体を用いた捜索システムを提供すること。【解決手段】通信機５０とカメラ２５とを備える複数のドローン１０（１０ａ～１０ｊ）と、通信機５０、カメラ２５、及びドローン１０を制御する統括制御部８０と、を有し、統括制御部８０は、複数のドローン１０（１０ａ～１０ｊ）を、捜索本部１００から捜索領域へ飛行させ、捜索領域へ到達すると、捜索領域にて予め決められた間隔Ｄで隊列を組みながら低空飛行させて、救助対象者Ｐから発信されている救援信号ＲＳを、複数のドローン１０（１０ａ～１０ｊ）に備わる通信機５０（５０ａ～５０ｊ）のいずれかが受信すると、救援信号ＲＳを受信した通信機５０（５０ｂ）を備えるドローン１０（１０ｂ）のカメラ２５（２５ｂ）に、救助対象者Ｐの状況を撮影させ、救援信号ＲＳを受信した通信機５０（５０ｂ）に、カメラ２５（２５ｂ）の撮影データと救助対象者Ｐの位置情報を捜索本部１００へ送信させる。【選択図】図８
