Unmanned Ag: How Automation is Impacting the Agriculture Industry In the Air and On the Ground - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Agriculture is one of the key areas in which unmanned systems are expected to be a disruptive technology. Already UAVs are used to detect invasive species or monitor for signs of drought, while their ground-based counterparts can be used for automated pruning or cleaning grain silos. Unmanned systems also assist in agri-business planning by mapping acreage, estimating crop yields and providing high-resolution data. As more agriculturists receive Section 333 exemptions from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), granting them permission to use UAS for commercial purposes, the impact of unmanned systems on farming practices and efficiency will continue to evolve. In order for unmanned technology to impact agriculture to its full potential, a dialogue between developers, manufacturers and end users must exist.

This webinar will examine the current impact of unmanned systems on agriculture and how air and ground-based systems have the potential to alter agricultural practices. Discussion topics will include:

-Addressing current agricultural uses for unmanned technology

-Explore current research and development geared towards automated agriculture

-End user experiences working with UAVs and UGVs on farms

-Potential agricultural applications of unmanned systems

Who Should Attend

-UGV and UAV manufacturers

-Anyone involved in agriculture interested in learning about the application of unmanned systems

-Agricultural engineers and researchers

-Subsystems and components suppliers
