What means do we use?
Remote sensing drones :
These small drones carry RGB, multispectral and thermal sensors. They are used for all mapping, topography and inspection missions. They are also used in tandem with large drones to map and prepare plots before sowing.
Agricultural work drones :
These drones are much larger than the previous ones. They can spray liquids over 9 meters thanks to their on-board 30L container and their 16 interchangeable nozzles (same system as on classic agricultural sprayers). They can also spread granules or seeds over a maximum of 14 meters by replacing the liquid tank with a 40kg tank with rotating disk (similar to the systems used on agricultural quads).
To fly legally, these drones must obtain a specific authorization. Agriflight has obtained this authorization and is currently the only service provider in Belgium to offer this service.

Drone-in-a-box (DIAB)
A DIAB is a hermetic box that houses an inspection drone. This can be controlled remotely by Agriflight. This system is interesting for customers who require regular drone flights over the same area (more than 30 flights per year).
Agriflight takes care of the installation and operation of this system. The results can be viewed on a web platform (no software required).
Currently, Agriflight is installing these systems for the daily monitoring of agricultural trials.
