Agriculture Research Drone
The Agriculture Research Drone brings the flight platform of our SD15 surveillance drone to agriculture. It flies pre-planned survey missions over research plots and fields, capturing consistent, geo-tagged imagery that researchers can compare across a growing season.
Its onboard computer runs the same machine-learning stack as our Autonomous Target Tracking Drone (YOLO and OpenCV), which can be trained to detect and count plants, spot stressed or diseased areas and flag pests — turning hours of field walking into a 30-minute flight.
A modular payload mount carries an RGB, thermal or other research sensor of up to 500 g, and RTK positioning lets the drone return to exactly the same points on every flight.
Key features
- Autonomous waypoint survey missions over plots and fields
- Geo-tagged imagery for season-long crop comparison
- Machine-learning plant counting and stress / disease detection (YOLO, OpenCV)
- Interchangeable payloads up to 500 g: RGB, thermal or research sensors
- RTK positioning for repeatable flight paths
- Smart controller with touchscreen for mission planning and telemetry
- AES-encrypted data link, 15 km range
