Technical approach
Precision spraying aircraft
XAG's X150 drones use multi-rotor design for stable, precise pesticide and herbicide application at low altitude with computer-controlled spray patterns.
Automatic charging and refilling
XA1 dock charges batteries and coordinates with LM1 to refill tanks in 3 minutes per cycle.
Single pilot manages many drones
Autopilot and coordination software enable one pilot to run 5–10+ drones simultaneously.
Farm data systems
XAG drones feed data into farm management systems for variable-rate application, target spraying, and crop health monitoring across fields.
