Automated Aerial Application For Unmanned Helicopters

Precision Navigation And Flow Control Tech Now Available

Rotor Technologies and AG-NAV announced they have formed a partnership to bring automated aerial application to the Sprayhawk unmanned helicopter.

The two companies recently demonstrated an integrated automated aerial application system for users to fly Rotor’s Sprayhawk agricultural UAV using AG-NAV’s Guia Platinum navigation system.

AG-NAV will be the exclusive provider of the navigation solutions on Rotor’s 2025 model year Sprayhawk. The aircraft will be equipped with the advanced navigation and flow control technology as standard, including variable rate spray control equipment onboard and a Guia Platinum terminal in the ground control station.

Rotor Technologies is based in Nashua, New Hampshire, and produces the Sprayhawk automated unmanned helicopter for agricultural spraying applications. Barrie, Ontario, Canada-based AG-NAV makes precision navigation and control systems for aerial applications in agriculture, forestry, wildlife tracking, wildfire control, and more.

Charlotte Keys, Rotor’s Product Manager said, “The integration of AG-NAV systems into the Sprayhawk brings precision agriculture to our aerial application customers. With access to AG-NAV’s industry-leading navigation and mission management systems, Sprayhawk operators will be able to seamlessly manage their jobs and workflows, perform in-flight spray controls just like in their manned aircraft, and optimize efficiency with precision flow control.”

Landon Ramirez of AG-NAV said, “At AG-NAV our mission is to always innovate as well as focus on pilot safety. So when we heard what Rotor were doing, we were really excited to work with them to further improve pilot safety as well as revolutionize the aerial application industry.”
