AUTONOMOUS HERBICIDE SPRAYING USING ADVANCED UAS FOR UTILITY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
An innovative, autonomous herbicide spraying system using advanced Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective Vegetation Management at Utility grid sites.
Current manual rentice practices without the use of herbicides at Utility grid sites are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and cause high vegetation growth rate. This situation leads to more frequent rentice activities and a higher cost for Utilities.
Key Features & Benefits
Autonomous and faster than the conventional method
Uses advanced topographical scanning to ensure optimal spraying and uniform crop coverage
Prevent hazardous herbicide mist from direct contact with workers
Drone system incorporates radar, GPS and obstacle sensors for safer operations
The system provides data on location, area coverage and data trending for study and planning
Potential Applications
Utility Vegetation Management
