Original Abstract Submitted

The control unit of the UAV detects the UAV as a search target on the basis of the sensing data obtained by sensing of the sensor unit , and moves the UAV to a position above the detected UAV . Then, the control unit identifies a current position of the UAV when the UAV has moved to the position above the UAV , and transmits search position information indicating the identified current position as the current position of the UAV
