Here are a few UAV uses now and in the future:
• Seeding (shot like a bullet into the soil via a pellet)
• 3D topographical modelling
• Spot treating crops
• Crop yield calculation
• Snail eradication via focused microwave beam
• Heavy lift crop spraying (Big UAV spray rigs)
• Multiple sensor packages useful for data gathering
• Preferential insect distribution
• Cattle or sheep counting and health monitoring
• Cattle herding / Sheep herding / anything herding
• Bird or flying animal pest mitigation
• Frost mitigation
• Feral animal or preditor spotting
• Airborne air quality analysis
• Water quality sampling for analysis
• Soil moisture content monitoring
• Autonomous fence, boar, well and damn inspections
• Trying to find the kids because it’s dinner time
Start with a photographic survey and go from there. The possibilities are vast and in the not too distant future, your shed will be home to a few types of robotic flying machines that help you plan and manage your land for all to benefit from.
