2017 HoneyComb AgDrone System

The AgDrone System takes advantage of an advanced autopilot system, allowing the drone to fly itself. No flying experience required. The user draws a polygon defining the flight area and mission planning software automatically calculates the route. Safety measures come standard including low battery warning and return to home.

From the beginning, the AgDrone System was engineered for durability under the most demanding conditions, resulting in a fully composite drone using high strength aramid fiber, the same material used in bullet-proof vests, and 10x stronger than steel. Only the military has opted for the same material and construction, a testament to the unparalleled strength.

Data processing services and tools are necessary to produce actionable information for any agricultural drone. HoneyComb has made the process of capturing and processing data seamless, and optimized for agricultural drone applications. Advantages include 6-channel image processing, one-click data handling, robust algorithms, and optimized hardware configuration.

An agricultural drone needs to cover a large amount of area. With anything, there is a right tool for the job and in agriculture its the AgDrone System which covers 600-800 acres per hour when flown at 400 feet. This is roughly 10x the coverage of a quadcopter with exceptional performance and stability in wind.

Using two cameras and proprietary algorithms, the AgDrone System is able to generate true NDVI, a difference you can see.

Every flight produces both NDVI and high-definition visible maps that significantly enhance field scouting and allow for both NDVI and 3D mapping simultaneously.
