Catalyst of the
BREAK-THROUGH Technology
Annual UAS Forecasted Sales
(October 2013)
Advanced Sensors Mounted on
UAS (Unmanned Aerial System)
DECISION AGRICULTURE TM
The plant is the SENSOR
30,000 sensors/a providing data
We measure the plant to understand
what the plant is telling us
• Stand (Population & Variability)
• Nitrogen
• Water
• Diseases
• Pests
• Seed selection
• Practices
• Operator performance
• Equipment performance
• Etc.
