An aircraft position control system to make a position of an aircraft follow movement of a target landing point due to motion includes a motion quantity estimation processing unit that estimates a motion quantity of the target landing point, based on attitude correction acceleration for correcting attitude of the aircraft and a relative position between the aircraft and the target landing point, and a target information generation unit that outputs a target relative position between the aircraft and the target landing point to be achieved and target relative velocity between the aircraft and the target landing point to be achieved, based on the estimated motion quantity.

An automatic landing system for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes: a camera mounted on a vertical take-off and landing aircraft; a relative-position acquisition unit configured to perform image processing on an image captured by the camera, the image including a marker group provided at a target landing point, to acquire a relative position between the vertical take-off and landing aircraft and the target landing point; and a control unit configured to control the vertical take-off and landing aircraft such that the relative position becomes zero, in which the marker group includes a plurality of markers that are arranged side by side and that have different center positions from each other, the markers are larger as arranged farther away from the target landing point, and the relative-position acquisition unit acquires the relative position based on a distance between the marker recognized in the image and the target landing point.

A drone port is portable to be disposed on a landing surface for a drone and includes a covering section configured to cover the landing surface and provided with markers of different sizes. The covering section includes a restraining section configured to restrain the drone on the covering section. The restraining section includes a first hook-and-loop fastener disposed on the covering section. The first hook-and-loop fastener is configured to join with a second hook-and-loop fastener configured to be disposed on the drone.

An amphibious vehicle includes: an engine; at least one land traveling device; at least one water propelling device; a power distribution device configured to distribute power outputted from the engine between land travel power to be supplied to the at least one land traveling device and water propulsion power to be supplied to the at least one water propelling device; a slippage-amount detection device configured to detect a slippage amount of the at least one land traveling device relative to ground; and a controller configured to adjust at least the land travel power, of the land travel power and the water propulsion power, on the basis of the slippage amount detected by the slippage-amount detection device. The controller is configured to reduce the land travel power if the slippage amount detected by the slippage-amount detection device is greater than a threshold while the land travel power and the water propulsion power are supplied respectively to the at least one land traveling device and the at least one water propelling device for landing from water to land.
