 Remote sensing There are a number of advantages that AGRO-UAV has over traditional
satellite based image acquisition systems, including:
Technical specs
• Acquire imagery below the cloud canopy allowing for imagery acquisition even
 Camera: 12MP on cloudy days. Satellite based systems may go months before your area of
 Wingspan: 80cm interest has imagery acquired for it.
• Increased temporal resolution means AGRO-UAV can be deployed to acquire
 Weight: 500g imagery where you need, when you need. Satellite based systems may only
 Speed: 30-50km/h acquire imagery for your area of interest every 16 days.
 Endurance: 30min • Spatial resolution of 15 cm is 40,000 times better than that of some of the
most widely used satellite systems and has 44 times more resolution then the
 Operational range: up to 20km most advanced satellite based systems currently in operation.
 Data link: up to 2km • Satellite based systems have a lag between when the imagery is acquired and
when you can purchase it. With AGRO-UAV you will have the imagery within
 Can operate in winds up to
minutes of it landing and within a few hours if more complex image processing is

required.

Agriculture
AGRO-UAV gives timely imagery that allows producers and those who advise them to make more informed decisions
which can save money. The images can be acquired and viewed almost instantaneously.
• Quickly and accurately decide whether or not to spray and where.
• Get piece of mind with a permanent record of the extent of crop damage.
• Assist in the identification of crop scout locations and create waypoints that can be loaded on to your GPS unit.

Environmental Monitoring
AGRO-UAV provides flexibility and economic deployment that allows for a regular schedule of imagery to be acquired.
This opens the door to many land and water environmental monitoring applications which were previously not
economically viable.

Forestry
High resolution imagery gathered from the AGRO-UAV will allow forest companies and private land owners to assess
their woodlots. This includes specie identification and extent as well as volume calculations. More informed and
accurate forest cut block boundary with help ensure these resources stay healthy for future generations.
