Abstract

Observing an observation area wider than a cruising distance of a drone, an acquiring observation data of all observation sections and analyzing all the observation area, even when it is impossible for the operator to go to the observation base due to a failure of a traffic infrastructure and when a failure of a communication infrastructure occurs. The drone flies through the observation section from the observation base, where the drone is on standby, to a next observation base to observe, to transmit all observation data after a first observation section stored in the drone to the next drone on standby at the observation base when the drone lands at the next observation base, and to deliver observation data of all observation sections to the observation base, which is a destination, by sequentially repeating the performance of the transmitting of data between the drones in all observation sections.
