To provide measurement data on a real time basis from a laser measurement
device mounted on an air vehicle to a ground station. The laser
measurement unit sequentially outputs laser measurement data during a
measurement period in which the air vehicle flies along a straight line
flight fairway (32). The transmission unit desirably compresses the laser
measurement data when the laser measurement data is accumulated to a file
size while the air vehicle flies along straight line flight fairway (32),
and transmits the laser measurement data to the ground station. The
transmission units does not transmit the flight state data obtained by
the GPS/IMU to the ground station on the straight line flight fairway
(32), but transmits during a measurement suspended period in which the
air vehicle flies along a turn fairway (34).
