Last month, Volatus Aerospace announced that it had signed a contract to “deploy its advanced drone operations to conduct multispectral aerial surveys across 21 agricultural sites in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec.” This national agriculture contract, the company said, will support “data-driven crop intelligence” and position Volatus “at the forefront of precision agriculture, one of the fastest-growing applications of drone and remote sensing technology.”

Under the agreement, Volatus survey the 21 sites twice during the growing season to capture “critical insights into plant health and crop performance.” Flights have already begun.

According to Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace, “This contract showcases Volatus' unique ability to scale drone operations efficiently across Canada. Our growing network of local teams enables rapid mobilization in rural and remote areas, and this project sets the stage for future innovation using remotely operated and autonomous nested drone solutions to support the evolving needs of smart agriculture.”
