Volatus Aerospace has been awarded a new national agriculture contract which will see the company deploy its drone operations to conduct multispectral aerial surveys across 21 agricultural sites in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec in Canada. Each site will be surveyed twice during the growing season, capturing critical insights into plant health and crop performance. Volatus said on June 25 that flights are already underway.
With field pilots currently conducting operations, the company is also developing advanced operational models that incorporate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), remote operation and drone-in-a-box technologies for continuous crop monitoring throughout the growing season.
