This model size, 20-22 litres, is the most popular because it represents the 'golden ratio' among agricultural UAVs, on the one hand already providing sufficient performance not only as an auxiliary and back-up tool, but also as the main tool, for small areas

GLORY AIR S22

Agricultural UAV

This model has small dimensions that allow the operator/technician in the 90th percentile to operate it independently for a long time without being overloaded. The machine belongs to the Smart series, which means that it has an improved design and extended functionality. It is equipped with high quality fittings, designed to withstand regular folding and continuous operating loads. Considering the weight of the load, the tank is designed to be removable, with a "natural grip" handle and "saddle" mounting. It goes without saying that the range of nozzles (including optional accessories) ensures that all types of material can be handled.

Order

The drone is operated not only via GPS, but also with the included controller. Removal is not limited to the operator's line of sight, as there is a first-person view video control camera, the image from which is displayed on an Android device or an optional enhanced controller with an integrated screen. When connected to a kinematic mapping ground station (RTK), the Glory Air S22 can operate as part of a link, with flight planning performed in fully automatic mode, eliminating lanes and double handling of material. The unit also participates in the construction of mapping by means of installed radars. The altitude-keeping radar allows for work without over-estimation in areas with difficult terrain. The equipment is one of the most advanced in its class.

Where are drones used in agriculture?

Crop monitoring

Using drones, accurate crop development can be predicted and inefficiencies in planting in certain areas can be identified, allowing for better management of yields.

Soil and field analysis

Drones create accurate 3D maps for soil analysis, which is useful for planning seed planting patterns. After planting, drone soil analysis provides data for irrigation and nitrogen control.

Crops spraying

Drones can scan the ground and spray the right amount of liquid, adjusting the distance from the ground and spraying in real time for uniform coverage. This results in increased efficiency and a reduction in the amount of chemicals penetrating the groundwater.

Irrigation

Drones with hyperspectral, multispectral or thermal sensors can identify which parts of the field are dry or need improvement.

Health assessment

By scanning crops using visible and near-infrared light, devices carried by drones can detect which plants reflect different amounts of green and near-infrared light.

Seed planting

Drone landing systems achieve 75% efficiency and reduce landing costs by up to 85%.

Cases

52% reduction in herbicide use in Brazilian soybean fields

In Brazilian soybean fields, drones were used to reduce herbicide use by 52%. They helped create herbicide application maps in weed-infested areas, providing great assistance to workers. Within hours, the level of weed contamination in specific locations was identified.

South Korea sprays 30% of fields with drones, saving 47% on chemicals

Drones sprayers can navigate over inaccessible areas, such as steep tea fields at high altitudes. Drones sprayers eliminate the need for workers to move around the field with knapsack sprayers, which can be dangerous to their health. Drones sprayers provide a very fine spray that can be targeted to specific areas, saving the use of chemicals in South Korea by 47%.

US plants 400,000 trees a day by drone

One new and less common application for drones in agriculture is seeding. In the US, drones are used in the forestry industry; they can carry out work in remote areas without exposing workers to danger. Seeding can take place more efficiently with a team of two operators and ten drones capable of planting 400,000 trees a day.

UK switches to drones for fruit picking in COVID-19 conditions

With the world facing a global health crisis in 2021, the UK is increasingly challenged to find workers to harvest fruit and vegetables. Consequently, the UK government is beginning to use drones for harvesting. Although UAS fruit picking technology is still at an early stage of development, many companies are already testing drones that can pick hard fruit such as apples, apricots, peaches and pears.
