Abstract

To provide a function expansion device to be installed on an unmanned flight body having a floating body, in order to stabilize movement on water, and make the unmanned flight body move seamlessly on water and in the air to observe objects in the periphery.SOLUTION: A fixing part 11 fixes a function expansion device 1 to an unmanned flight body 2. An observation part 13 observes objects in the periphery. A movement part 14 is at least partly submerged in and causes the unmanned flight body 2 to move along the water surface, when the unmanned flight body 2 with the function expansion device 1 installed thereon is floating on the water surface. A power receiving part 12 receives power from the unmanned flight body 2 according to electromagnetic induction. A communication part 15 conducts radio communication with a processor that controls the unmanned flight body 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
