Fire Extinguishing
-
Besides aerial spraying of different crops, can be used in emergency for coordinated, safe and efficient fire-extinguishing.
Outperforming Competitors
- Requires LESS fuel, maintenance and staff THAN competitive solutions.
- At €150-250 per hour, operations cost are only 25% of the cost of a traditional piloting.
- Flies in a fully automatic mode, using an advanced computer vision system.
- Adjusts its flight trajectory according to the actual terrain and avoids any obstacles.
- Operates at a maximum speed of 200 km/h.
- With a tank capacity of 200+ l, up to 1,000 ha can be sprayed within 1 day.
- Productive time reaches up to 85%, with only 15% required for tank refilling and battery charging.
- Enables spatial and timely precision of spraying for crop health optimization.
- Performs field mapping and crop health monitoring.
- Meets EPA safety requirements while being all-electric and fully autonomous.
