Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method includes a takeoff process, a following process and a landing process, wherein the takeoff process includes the following steps: unlocking the UAV, and detecting the current horizontal position of the UAV in the horizontal direction and the current altitude of the UAV in the vertical direction; determining whether the current horizontal position and the current altitude meet takeoff criteria, and controlling the UAV to bounce off and enter into a takeoff state if the determination result is positive. The system provided by the present disclosure employs the above-mentioned method to control a UAV. The method and system provided by the present disclosure meet three functional requirements for a UAV on a moving base platform, namely, stable takeoff, following process and accurate landing, thus decrease the difficulties in the use of a UAV on a moving platform.
