Abstract: Provided is a work machine and the like that can reduce the possibility of contact with an unmanned aircraft flying around. The degree of possibility of contact between a working mechanism (140) and an unmanned aircraft (40) is recognized on the basis of the relative position of the unmanned aircraft (40) with reference to the working mechanism (140). If it is recognized that the contact possibility is high, then the operation mode of at least one of a lower traveling body (110), an upper pivoting body (120), and the working mechanism (140) is controlled so as to reduce the contact possibility.
