Agricultural Drone Services
Precision agriculture solutions using multispectral imaging, NDVI analysis, and aerial crop monitoring to optimize yields, reduce input costs, and enable data-driven farm management.
Data-Driven Farming from Above
Modern agriculture demands precision. Drone technology equipped with multispectral sensors provides farmers and agronomists with actionable insights that were previously available only to the largest operations with satellite imagery subscriptions. FlyAirTech brings this capability to farms of all sizes across the United States.
Our agricultural drone services go beyond simple aerial photos. Using specialized multispectral cameras, we capture wavelengths invisible to the human eye that reveal crop health, stress patterns, irrigation issues, and pest or disease pressure before symptoms become visible to ground scouts. This early detection enables targeted interventions that protect yields and reduce input waste.
Whether you manage hundreds or thousands of acres, our precision agriculture solutions deliver the data you need for variable rate application, irrigation optimization, and informed agronomic decisions. Learn more about our agriculture industry solutions.

Crop Monitoring
Regular aerial surveys throughout the growing season track crop development, identify problem areas, and document field conditions. Create a visual timeline of crop progress from planting through harvest for analysis and record-keeping.
NDVI Analysis
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index maps reveal crop vigor and photosynthetic activity across the field. Identify underperforming zones, nutrient deficiencies, and stress patterns invisible to the naked eye for targeted management.
Precision Agriculture
Generate prescription maps for variable rate application of fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation. Apply inputs where needed, reduce waste on healthy areas, and maximize ROI on crop protection and nutrition investments.
Field Mapping
High-resolution orthomosaic maps and elevation models support drainage planning, irrigation design, and field boundary documentation. Compatible with farm management software and precision agriculture platforms.
How Multispectral Imaging Works
Healthy plants absorb visible light for photosynthesis while reflecting near-infrared (NIR) light. Stressed plants reflect more visible light and less NIR. Multispectral cameras capture these wavelength differences, enabling calculation of vegetation indices that quantify plant health.
The most common index is NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), which ranges from -1 to +1. Healthy vegetation typically scores 0.6 to 0.9, while stressed or sparse vegetation falls below 0.4. By mapping NDVI across the field, we create actionable insights for agronomic decision-making.
Deliverables
Our agricultural drone services provide:
- NDVI Maps: Color-coded visualization of crop health across the field
- Zone Management Maps: Defined management zones for variable rate application
- Orthomosaic Imagery: High-resolution composite images for visual analysis
- Plant Count Data: Stand counts and emergence analysis for row crops

Benefits of Agricultural Drones
- Early Detection: Identify problems before they're visible from the ground
- Reduced Scouting Time: Cover more acres in less time than walking fields
- Input Optimization: Apply fertilizers and pesticides only where needed
- Yield Protection: Address issues before they impact harvest
- Data Records: Document field conditions for analysis and compliance
