Abstract
An operation system includes: a connecting cable; a winder configured to cause a tensile force to act on the connecting cable; a delivered amount detecting section configured to detect the delivered amount of the connecting cable; a direction detecting section configured to detect a direction of a force acting on a to-be-detected part of the connecting cable; and a position determination section configured to determine a position of an unmanned aircraft. The position determination section determines a distance from a predetermined reference position to the unmanned aircraft based on a detection result from the delivered amount detecting section. The position determination section determines an orientation of the unmanned aircraft on the basis of the to-be-detected part based on a detection result from the direction detecting section.
