AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. has launched a new university specific drone offering for 2019. Building on a sale to Arkansas State University – Newport (ASU) last year by Agribotix (acquired by AgEagle in August 2018), AgEagle has now entered into a new drone program agreement with Modesto Junior College (MJC) to enhance the curriculum of their agriculture technology department. Beginning next spring, both ASU and MJC will utilize AgEagle drones and technology in their respective curriculum and research. Students will receive hands on experience creating digital aerial maps through the AgEagle FarmLens platform, while also being educated on the benefits of utilizing the data collected for sustainable farming. Further, training will be offered on how to properly use the drones, which are equipped with specialized sensors that collect ultra high-resolution images to identify specific areas of the field with crop weakness. Drone education will become a component of several tracks within each university's agricultural curriculum, including precision ag, agronomy, plant science and mapping. Universities can now purchase drone technology packages specifically tailored to their unique use cases. A combination of multicopter and fixed wing UAVs are available to universities with several sensors and one common software platform for data processing – AgEagle FarmLens. As a retailer of many drone platforms and sensors, including those manufactured by AgEagle for commercial release, this university offering helps ag departments build a relationship with one company to test and train students on the best technology available. AgEagle will continue to provide support to universities after the sale, and will offer training to faculty and research staff to ensure they have the tools to build a strong curriculum on the field use of UAVs in agriculture.
