  • Publication number: 20240046802
    Abstract: A flight management system is configured to manage the flight of a flight vehicle in communication with a user terminal operated by a user. The flight management system includes a receiver configured to receive from the user terminal the flight application information including the identification information of the flight vehicle, a flight path preferred by the user, and a flight time preferred by the user; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not to permit utilization of predetermined radio waves with the flight vehicle to fly along the flight path at the flight time based on the flight application information; and a transmitter configured to transmit the flight information instructing the flight vehicle to fly along the flight path to the flight vehicle identified by the identification information on the condition that the determination unit determines to permit utilization of predetermined radio waves.

  • Publication number: 20230260407
    Abstract: A flight management device includes: a reception unit which receives flight schedule information including a flight range, flight date and time, and radio communication information; a determination unit which determines whether or not a relationship between the flight range and the flight date and time of a first flight vehicle, and the flight range and the flight date and time of a second flight vehicle becomes a predetermined positional relationship defined to determine whether or not flight vehicles are approaching each other; and a transmission unit which transmits to a radio wave use application device, on condition that the determination unit has determined the first flight vehicle as not approaching the second flight vehicle, radio wave use application information which is application information and includes the flight range, the flight date and time, and the radio communication information of the first flight vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220238024
    Abstract: A flight route generation device is configured to generate a plurality of flight routes for a flight vehicle to fly over a plurality of working areas in a one-time flight. The flight route generation device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire the working-area information for designating a plurality of working areas intended for a plurality of operations to be performed by a flight vehicle during its flight and the interregional information for determining a plurality of interregional flight routes along which the flight vehicle is permitted to fly over a plurality of working areas, and a generator configured to generate a plurality of intraregional flight routes for the flight vehicle to fly through the plurality of working areas based on the working-area information and a plurality of interregional flight routes based on the interregional information to prevent the flight vehicle from entering into a flight-prohibited area.
