Bluegrass, Bebop-Pro Thermal Intended For Specific Missions

Parrot has introduced two new mission-specific drones at the Commercial UAV Expo being held this week in Las Vegas.

According to the company blog, the Parrot Bluegrass is the first Parrot quadcopter specifically designed for agriculture and is the latest business solution from Parrot, joining and complementing the Parrot Professional range. The Parrot Bebop-Pro Thermal is an all-in-one quadcopter thermal imaging solution, specifically designed for small construction businesses, thermal inspection professionals and public safety services.

Parrot Bluegrass is a multipurpose drone that helps farmers improve their ROI, using its 2 embedded cameras; video camera and multispectral sensor. This solution facilitates the visual monitoring of the farm’s infrastructure. It also provides a quick and easy analysis on the health of their crops, thanks to the easy to use processing software, AIRINOV FIRST+.

The AIRINOV FIRST+ online platform enables users to process and analyze the data and images captured by Parrot Sequoia.

In just a few hours, the farmer receives a turnkey report composed of orthomosaic NDVI maps (absolute and adjusted) and zoning (simple and detailed). This provides a precise view of the biomass (density of vegetation) and relative health of the crops, helping professionals to determine which areas need specific attention. Professionals can use these insights to understand which areas require the most maintenance and track the effects and evolution of the farm with high precision.

With Parrot Bluegrass, farmers and agriculture cooperatives keep the control of the data captured by the quadcopter and the analysis of these data is directly delivered to them, with no intermediary.

The Bluegrass can automatically cover up to 74 acres at 230 ft. flight altitude per battery use. It can also fly at low altitudes, optimizing crops that may require precise mapping.

Parrot Bebop-Pro Thermal is a quadcopter that allows architects, builders, roofers and real estate agencies to safely carry out inspections with its 2 embedded cameras, enabling the operator to make videos and take pictures of buildings and roofs in visual or thermal images, quickly providing an overview and identifying major thermal losses.

The new FreeFlight Thermal mobile app provides live streaming and recording of both the visual and thermal images.

The Bluegrass is expected to retail for about $5,900, excluding VAT. No price was given for the Bebop-Pro Thermal.
