A technique for more reliably capturing a lost unmanned aerial vehicle in tracking the unmanned aerial vehicle by a surveying device is provided. A UAV search controlling part configured to be used in a search for an unmanned aerial vehicle that flies along a predetermined flight path includes an estimating part and a search controlling part. The estimating part estimates, on the basis of location data of a surveying device that surveys a location of the unmanned aerial vehicle by using laser light and on the basis of the predetermined flight path, a direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle as seen from the surveying device at a specific time. The search controlling part controls to allow the surveying device to search for the unmanned aerial vehicle, on the basis of the estimated direction.
