UASolutions Group, Inc. an aviation consulting firm, received notification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of approval on the AG-V6A+ unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for Commercial Operations over 55 lbs.
The AG-V6A+ is a fully autonomous, unmanned & remotely piloted multirotor designed for ultra-efficient spraying operations in Agriculture, Public Safety, Invasive Species Management, etc. The aircraft weighs 75.3 lbs on a full payload.
With terrain following, up to 1-centimeter accuracy, and beyond average coverage rate- it’s built for precision spraying.
