Changing the Landscape through Innovative Airborne Technology
Our Mission –
To deliver innovative airborne solutions that provide efficient, environmentally sustainable farming practices.
From a foundation of extensive careers in military aviation, Dan and Tyson became passionate about the opportunities emerging drone technologies could bring to their region. As qualified remote pilots, they are excited to bring their wealth of problem-solving expertise to the regions viticulturalist and farmers.
Combining the team’s aviation and drone expertise with Alex’s knowledge of the region and people who call it home, the integration of airborne drone technology to enable unrealised efficiencies in agricultural practices is our drive.
Drone Spraying
We provide the precise application of airborne sprays
Through innovative technology, drone spraying is proving to be an effective method of applying sprays compared to traditional applications.
Utilising a targeted approach, drone spraying can be a cost-effective method of applying airborne sprays through precise location and quantity control.
Drone spraying is far less labor intensive and has excellent results in areas that have limited access such as creeks and hillsides.
Applications
- Precision disease and pest treatment
- Targeted weed spraying
- Broad acre
- Vineyard – blanket spraying or targeted
- Orchard
- Fertilisers
- Irrigation management
Weed Control
A smarter way to control
and manage weeds
- Once mapped, we utilise AI to find and identify weeds. We then formulate a precise spraying plan that minimises time and reduces spray used.
- Fully automated or manual flying for accurate targeting to cover large areas in a shorter time.
- No hoses or spray carts required reducing labor requirements
- Ideal for difficult to reach areas such as steep hills, rocky terrain, thick vegetation or muddy ground (artichoke especially)
Broad Acre
Maximise crop health
with precision spraying
- Precision disease and pest treatment
- Targeted weed spraying
- Broad acre
- Vineyard – blanket spraying or targeted
- Orchard
- Fertilisers
- Irrigation management
Vineyard / Orchard
Low impact
and efficient spraying
- Reduce soil compaction, number of tractor passes and diesel usage
- Fast application of pesticides and fungicides
- Targeted fertiliser application
- Less labor intensive
- Ideal in difficult terrain or post heavy rainfall where tractors can't access
Airborne Mapping
Multispectural and visual drone air mapping services
For aerial surveying to be effective, it needs to be able to see the unseen. At Barossa Drones, we utilise the Mavic 3 Multispectral drone. The Mavic 3M has two forms of sight. It combines an RGB camera with a multispectral camera to scan and analyze crop growth with total clarity.
Multispectral imagery can detect early signs of diseases or stress, irrigation concerns and low vigor areas in fields. This early detection allows for timely intervention to reduce loss and improve yeild.
Applications
- Multispectral + Visual mapping (RGB+NDVI)
- Vegetation density
- Crop and vegetation Health
- Disease and pest detection
- Crop yield
- Weed detection
- Irrigation management
Mavic 3m
Our drone delivers both precision and data, which is an essential part of agriculture production management.
Drone Spreading
Targeted and broad drone spreading services
The DJI T40 drone can carry up to 50kg dry material up to a size of 7mm
Suitable for both pesticides and fertilisers
Cover large areas rapidly regardless of the ground conditions
Applications
- Spreading fertilisers
- Spreading baits and insecticides
- Seeding/re-seeding capability
