Control system for a flying object, control device therefor, and marker thereof

A controller for controlling a flying object comprising:

• a reading unit which reads control information from a marker which corresponds to control information relating to control of a flying object, the control information comprising:
• control information for the flying object to move from the marker to a next marker along a flight route;
• and
• fail-safe information relating to behavior of the flying object when an abnormality occurs with respect to the controller or the flying object along the flight route from the marker to the next marker;
• a flight information transmitting unit which generates flight information in a form readable by the flying object and transmits the flight information to the flying object based on the control information read by the reading unit;
• and
• an abnormality detection unit which detects an abnormality with respect to the controller or the flying object,
• wherein upon detection of an abnormality with respect to the controller or the flying object along the flight route from the marker to the next marker, the controller selects and transmits predetermined overriding flight information corresponding to the fail-safe information of the marker to the flying object.

A marker for use in a flying object control system comprising;

• first control information relating to a movement vector of the flying object from the marker to a next marker along a flight route;
• second control information relating to a flight state of the flying object from the marker to the next marker along a flight route;
• and
• third control information relating to behavior of the flying object when an abnormality occurs with respect to the flying object or a controller that controls the flying object along the flight route from the marker to the next marker, the third control information corresponding to predetermined overriding flight information for controlling the flying object.
