Abstract

The flying object control deviceincludes a generator, a drive source, a battery, an electric motor, a battery status determination unit, and a state-of-charge control unit. The battery status determination unitdetermines a first amount of charge power, which is a current state of charge of the battery. After a flying object starts cruising, the state-of-charge control unitcalculates a second amount of charge power, which is a state of charge of the batteryrequired for takeoff during the next flight, based on flight plansandof the flying object, predicts timing of supplying electric power from the generatorto the batterybased on the first amount of charge power and the second amount of charge power, and starts power supply from the generatorto the batteryat this timing.
