The application of UAS enables for a better assessment of crops, an increased yield, and allows for less, more precise use of pesticides and herbicides. The ability for the platform to fly pre-saved ‘Missions’ via the fully automated ground station allows for time-lapse photos of fields, crops, and known land tracts. This ability to accurately re-create the same pattern during all growth cycles is invaluable data for land and soil management. The capability of a UAS to utilize the HD sensor, IR sensors, and NDVI sensors allows for detailed analysis and recording to create highly detailed maps for erosion, flood mapping and other critical aspects for land management.
