What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Delair has unveiled Delair Ag, a comprehensive UAS solution designed specifically for agriculture and forestry, the company announced on 18 February.
Delair Ag will provide a complete, integrated and easy-to-use workflow to collect, manage, analyse and share agriculture data. The UAS will support agricultural companies, service providers and researchers by providing UAS-based data for crop health monitoring, field experimentation analysis, automatic machine guidance, precision agriculture practices or better crop traceability.
Delair Ag combines the new Delair UX11 Ag fixed-wing UAS and the new Delair Aerial Intelligence (delair.ai) cloud-based platform. The Delair UX11-Ag features the MicaSense RedEdge MX, a fully integrated high-grade multispectral camera to see the plant level of most crops. The sensor generates plant health indexes and RGB colour images and is calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements.
Delair.ai is a comprehensive platform for converting UAS-based images into actionable business insights. The new cloud-based solution provides a complete integrated workflow to manage, analyse and share data for streamlining the aerial surveying process. The industry-optimised analytics can be used in mining, quarries, construction, power and utilities and agriculture industries.
Lénaïc Grignard, product manager for the agriculture and forestry offer at Delair, said: ‘The Delair UX11 Ag combines the productivity benefits of long-range/BVLOS flight operations with highly accurate survey-grade mapping and plant data collection capabilities, while the Delair Aerial Intelligence platform enables a new level of precision agriculture and helps maximise the quality of crops and yields.’
