Drones and their Impact on Agriculture

Drones are being made to help agriculture and not all are multicopters. UAVs can help identify insects, weeds, low water levels and many other issues. A new lightweight flying wing will help identify and address problems and how to help solve them.

We expect about 80 percent of commercial UAV use in the United States to be in agriculture.

What is a Drone?

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, an unmanned aerial system (UAS), an unpiloted aerial vehicle and a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. It is remote controlled, sometimes by phone or tablet, but usually with a remote control system. More advanced professional drones may even require multiple operators.
