Uninhabited aerial vehicle, uninhabited aerial vehicla control system, and uninhabited aerial vehicle control method

An uninhabited aerial vehicle control system comprising:

• an uninhabited aerial vehicle including a calculator configured to calculate position information indicating a current position and an altitude of the uninhabited aerial vehicle, image capturing means for capturing an image, a lightning rod that couples to a conducting wire with one end grounded, a controller configured to control the position and the altitude of the uninhabited aerial vehicle, and a communicator which performs information communication with an outside;
• and
• a ground station,
• wherein the calculator transmits the position information to the communicator,
• wherein the image capturing unit calculates a position of an object to be protected against a thunderbolt from the captured image, and transmits the calculated position of the object to the communicator,
• wherein the communicator transmits the position information received from the calculator and the position of the object received from the image capturing unit to the ground station,
• wherein the ground station calculates flight instruction information based on the received position information and the received position of the object and transmits the calculated flight instruction information to the communicator,
• the communicator receives the flight instruction information from the ground station, and
• the controller controls the position and the altitude based on the received flight instruction information.
