Drones are being used for an ever widening range of agricultural applications enabled by new technology and diminishing regulatory constraints. Most current drone options are small, battery powered units and when equipped with cameras or other sensors they are very well suited to scouting and monitoring tasks… There are a variety of other farm-related tasks carried out with ground-based crews and equipment. Which of those are amenable to a drone-based solution? There is also a well-developed agricultural aviation industry based on piloted aircraft. Could some of those activities be handled by drones?

HevenDrones is pursuing many applications for this high payload drone including homeland security, early interventions in firefighting, installation and upkeep of solar farms, emergency delivery of food and/or medical equipment, delivery of COVID tests, construction and mining. They are also interested in pursuing agricultural opportunities and started with a project doing pollination of palm trees in the UAE. They are now exploring many other opportunities in various geographies including the US.
