An uninhabited aerial vehicle includes: a calculator that calculates position information indicating a position and an altitude of the vehicle; an image capturing unit that captures an image; a lightning rod; a controller that controls the position and altitude of the vehicle; and a communicator which performs information communication, wherein the calculator transmits the position information to the communicator, the image capturing unit calculates a position of an object to be protected against a thunderbolt from the image, and transmits the calculated position to the communicator, the communicator transmits the position information received from the calculator and the position of the object received from the image capturing unit to the outside, and receives flight instruction information, and the controller controls the position and the altitude of the vehicle based on received flight instruction information of the received flight instruction information.
