Overview

Our Agri Drone Flight Operation service offers precision drone flights designed to collect essential data for agricultural analysis, whether for crop monitoring, land surveying, or environmental assessments. These flights utilise RGB, multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal sensors to capture data. The data is collected with aims to help agribusinesses optimise resource management, detect crop health issues, pest management, and make informed decisions. Whether you need to test drone-integrated sensors, gather aerial imagery, or explore new analytics, this service provides a flexible and tailored approach to meet the specific needs of your operation. Customers will receive detailed data, advice, and insights that can be applied to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and support sustainable farming practices.

Service customisation

This service can be customised to meet the customer’s specific needs, such as the type of sensors to be tested (thermal, multispectral, etc.) or the type of data they wish to collect (crop health analysis, land surveys, 3D models, etc.). Limitations may include weather conditions, which can affect the flight schedule, and any restrictions due to local regulations for RPAS. For more information on testing unregulated applications, please enquire about our sandbox services. Additionally, larger fields may require multiple flights for comprehensive data coverage.
