Drones For Agriculture

Crop sprayer drone Agras MG-1S

The Agras MG-1S integrates a number of cutting-edge DJI technologies, including the new A3 Flight Controller, and a Radar Sensing System that provides additional reliability during flight. The spraying system and flow sensor ensure accurate operations. When used with the MG Intelligent Operation Planning System and the DJI Agriculture Management Platform, a user can plan operations, manage flights in real-time, and closely monitor aircraft operating status. The MG-1S is a high performance aircraft capable of offering comprehensive solutions or agricultural care.

A3 FLIGHT CONTROLLER
Equipped with DJI's advanced A3 Flight Controller, the MG-1S is capable of high levels of reliability. Its algorithm has been optimized for agricultural utilizations, ensuring stable flight even with sloshing liquids. In addition, the redundant design of the A3 includes dual compasses. If an error occurs in one sensor, the system will automatically switch to the other sensor to continue safe, reliable flight.

RADAR SENSING
Three high-precision, microwave radars are placed on the front slope, rear slope and the bottom of the spray tank. Radars on front and rear slopes detect the terrain, allowing the aircraft to adjust its height approximately. The downward radar then provides high-precision height. As the radars scan, the MG-1S is able to perceive the change of terrain, adjust its altitude and maintain its altitude above the crops.

PRECISION SPRAYING
A new spraying system enables more accurate spraying. With two compatible pumps controlling the front pair and rear pair of nozzles separately, there are now three spraying modes available: forward spraying, backward spraying and full spraying. The new pressure sensor and flow sensor monitor the spraying rate in real-time, realizing dynamic control over spray speed and amount during operation. Nozzles with extended spray booms have been used to make better use of downward airflows. This spraying system now responds more accurately to commands, adding accuracy and effectiveness to spraying operations.

MG INTELLIGENT OPERATION PLANNING SYSTEM
Plan and edit flight paths intelligently with the MG-1S. When you set the liquid amount for per area, the aircraft will calculate the remaining parameters for you, enhancing convenience. You can also choose between Efficient Mode and Intensive Spraying Mode for different operation needs.

PROFESSIONAL CONTROLLER
The MG-1S controller includes a bright 5.5 inch/1080p display that is visible even under strong sunlight. With a built-in operation planning system, users can use the controller to increase working efficiency. The battery of controller supports a working time up to 5 hours, enabling long-time outdoor operations.
