DT18 AG LONG-RANGE MINI UAV SURVEY, MONITOR & INSPECT

Product catalog summary

Overview: The DT18 AG is a long-range mini UAV designed for surveying, monitoring, and inspecting large agricultural and forestry areas. It is capable of covering up to 1150 hectares per flight and is equipped with advanced sensors for precision agriculture.

Key Applications: The UAV is ideal for agriculture and forestry, including field research, microplots management, remote surveillance of crop practices, large-scale farms, plantations, herd scouting, precision agriculture, plant counting, gap detection, and forest characterization.

Specifications: The UAV features a MicaSense RedEdge Multispectral Camera with narrow and calibrated spectral bands (Red, Green, Blue, Red Edge, Near Infrared). It offers a ground sampling distance (GSD) down to 5 cm and can operate under various conditions, including wind resistance up to 50 km/h and moderate rain. The UAV has a communication range of up to 20 km and an endurance of up to 120 minutes.

Key Differentiators: The DT18 AG is noted for its high-quality crop data acquisition, quick return on investment, and safety features. It is the first UAV certified for daily BVLOS operations and includes advanced safety mechanisms like real-time front video and autopilot fail-safe systems.

Operating Conditions: The UAV can take off and land at altitudes from 0 to 2000 m ASL, with a ceiling of 2500 m ASL. It requires a landing space of typically 5 m x 10 m, with a recommended space of 10 m x 20 m.

Deliverables: The UAV provides analytics compatible with Delair-Stack®, ESRI ArcGIS, QGIS, ENVI, and eCognition. Deliverables include ortho images, DSM, DTM, NDVI, NDRE, MCARI, SAVI, plant counting, gap detection, plant height, field vectorization, vegetation height, and plant density maps.

Deployment and Material: The UAV is made from composite materials (fiberglass, carbon, kevlar) and can be deployed in 5 minutes. It is hand-launched or catapulted and lands on its belly to avoid crop damage. It has a cruise speed of 61 km/h.
