Tests of an innovative agricultural unmanned complex developed on the basis of the domestic drone BAS ID-100A have started in Kazan. Specialists from the Kazan State Agrarian University have begun testing the device at the university's experimental fields.
In one working day, the aircraft is capable of processing up to 600 hectares of crops. The carrying capacity is 150 kg, which allows delivering significant volumes of plant protection products and fertilizers.
The developers said that the performance of the drone is 8–10 times higher than the capabilities of traditional ground equipment, including in areas with difficult terrain. This is the first domestic device with such characteristics.
The main advantage of drones is independence from soil condition and accuracy of application. You can work immediately after the rain, when ground equipment gets bogged down. But the technology requires expensive maintenance and highly qualified operators.
According to the developers' calculations, the use of the drone will reduce the cost of processing on large fields of regular shape by up to 25–30%.
Earlier www1.ru reported that «Ростсельмаш» created the most powerful tractor in Russia with a 580 hp engine.
