Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present disclosure is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can fly in midair and includes a propulsion unit configured to generate a propulsion force for fly in midair, a laser light source configured to illuminate laser light, an imaging unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing vertically below the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight in midair, and a controller configured to control an operation of the propulsion unit. The controller analyzes a captured image, extracts a light spot formed by laser light, measures a positional relationship with another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the extracted light spot, and executes a collision avoidance operation with respect to another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the measured positional relationship.
