Commercial drone questions, answered directly.

A commercial drone is an aircraft used for productive work such as spraying, spreading, mapping, surveying or inspection. It is specified for payload, repeatability, durability and service rather than consumer photography.

Price depends on payload, tank or hopper, battery count, RTK, sensors, software, support and export terms. Pricing is tailored to your configuration; send your crop, area, terrain and country for a configuration and quotation.

Agricultural drone is a use case within commercial drones. A commercial drone is any aircraft used for productive work; an agricultural drone is configured for spraying, spreading or crop mapping. The same platform can serve both descriptions.

An agricultural drone is the broader category covering spraying, spreading and mapping. A spraying drone is configured specifically for liquid application, with a tank, pump and nozzle system. A spraying drone is a type of agricultural drone.

The best fit is the smallest platform that covers your daily hectares with a workable refill and battery plan. A compact model such as the P60 may be enough; a larger P150 only pays off if you have the area and logistics to use it.

Orchards and oil palm need canopy penetration, obstacle sensing and often a ground robot for rows the aircraft cannot reach. The P150 with 4D radar and adjustable droplets is the usual starting point; the R150 covers the rows from the ground.

A mapping drone carries a camera payload and produces georeferenced maps, elevation models and crop indices. A spraying drone carries a tank and nozzle system and applies product. Some platforms, such as the P150, can do both with task modules.

An industrial drone is a commercial aircraft built for inspection, survey, logistics or public-safety work. We focus on agricultural, spraying, mapping and ground systems; we do not supply consumer, FPV, racing or military drones.

A pump moves product from the tank to nozzles; the nozzle and pressure set the droplet size, and rotor airflow helps carry droplets into the canopy. RTK guidance keeps the passes repeatable.

Theoretical coverage is effective swath × speed × 3.6. Real output is lower after turns, refills and battery swaps. Measure on your block; do not rely on a published maximum.

The XAG P150 has a 70 L liquid tank and 70 kg maximum payload. P60 tank and payload are configured for your market because the compact platform is specified to the market.

Flight time depends on payload, speed, wind and battery condition. Plan by task: hectares per battery, refill time and the number of packs needed for a working day.

Battery count follows daily hectares, pack capacity, charging time and whether you charge in the field. The configuration and quotation include a rotation plan.

A drone avoids soil compaction and can work when the field is too soft for a tractor. It uses low-volume application and depends on airflow for canopy coverage. A tractor may still be better for high-volume, ground-level work.

Yes. The granule hopper and spreader handle fertiliser, seed, aquacultural feed and powder. The P150 hopper is 115 L with a maximum spread rate of 280 kg/min and an 8 m effective width.

Rice, sugarcane, oil palm, orchards, vineyards, cotton, wheat, corn, soybean and vegetables are common. The nozzle, droplet size and rate must match the crop and product label.

Yes, but accuracy drops to metre level and overlap increases. RTK is recommended for narrow rows, orchards and repeatable application.

Clean the tank, lines and nozzles after each product; check filters, pump seals and nozzle wear; inspect props and radar; and keep a spare-parts kit for the season.

A mapping drone captures overlapping images on a planned grid and processes them into a georeferenced map, such as an orthomosaic or elevation model.

A mapping drone shows what is where. A survey drone adds accuracy control, such as RTK or ground control, so positions and elevations can be measured to a stated accuracy. We cover both on the mapping page.

RTK corrects satellite positioning to centimetre level. It reduces ground control, aligns repeat flights and keeps application equipment on the same line as the map.

A multispectral drone captures bands beyond visible light to calculate crop indices such as NDVI and NDRE. These show vigour, stress and variability for scouting and prescription maps.

NDVI compares near-infrared and red reflectance to indicate vegetation vigour. It is used to find variability, stress and bare patches, not to diagnose a specific disease.

Accuracy depends on RTK, ground control, flight height, overlap and processing. With RTK and good practice, centimetre to low-decimetre relative accuracy is achievable; the exact figure must be verified on site.

A drone autopilot, or autopilot console, steers a ground vehicle such as a tractor or transplanter with centimetre-level guidance. The APC2 is an all-in-one console that installs in about 20 minutes.

An unmanned ground vehicle is a self-propelled platform for field work. The R150 is an all-electric ground robot for orchard spraying and confined rows, with centimetre-level guidance and two route modes.

A smart fertigation system controls irrigation and nutrient dosing remotely. It combines valves, injectors and scheduling software so water and fertilizer are applied in measured, repeatable doses.

Rules vary by country. Commercial operation may require registration, operator certification or spraying approvals. Confirm with the local authority before operation; the buyer remains responsible for compliance.

Minimum order and delivery time depend on configuration, production schedule and destination. Your quotation sets out both.

Price depends on configuration and landed cost, including freight, duties and local service. We quote by destination rather than publish a single country price. Send the requirement for a market-specific quotation.
