Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for controlling the takeoff and landing of a drone. The system for controlling the takeoff and landing of a drone includes: a landing control device configured to vary the transmission range of Low Frequency (LF) landing control signals based on whether a response signal to a transmitted landing control signal in the transmission range is received, and to transmit a landing signal if the varied transmission range is less than a minimum radius; and a drone configured to fly in a control signal-based flight mode based on a landing control signal when receiving the landing control signal transmitted from the landing control device during GPS signal-based flight, and to land at a destination by flying in a landing mode when receiving a landing signal from the landing control device during flight in the control signal-based flight mode.
