Heavy-Lift Application
Heavy-lift airframes carrying application payloads in the hundreds of pounds. Spraying, spreading, and seeding at working scale, not hobby scale.
Farms face a labor market that cannot fill the jobs, input costs that keep climbing, and margins that punish every wasted pass. Conventional aerial application means expensive manned crop dusters with scheduling backlogs, and ground rigs compact soil and cannot run when fields are wet.
Growers need aerial capability they own and operate themselves: payloads heavy enough to cover real acreage, precise enough to put product exactly where it is needed, and reliable enough to run every day of the season.
Heavy-lift airframes carrying application payloads in the hundreds of pounds. Spraying, spreading, and seeding at working scale, not hobby scale.
Autonomous flight paths, swath control, and variable-rate application put product exactly where it is needed and nowhere it is not.
Aerial imaging for crop health monitoring, stand counts, irrigation and drainage assessment, and yield estimation.
xNav handles route planning, multi-aircraft coordination, flight logging, and predictive maintenance so the operation stays flying through the season.
Application, survey, and haul run on the same autonomy software and ground control, so an operation trains once and flies all season.
Tank, boom, or spreader configuration for spraying, spreading, and seeding, with swath control and variable rate by management zone.
Imaging configuration for crop health, stand counts, irrigation and drainage assessment, and yield estimation across the whole operation.
Sling or bay loads move seed, chemical, fuel, fencing, and parts to field edge and reposition equipment between blocks and pastures.
Spray and spread passes on corn, soy, cotton, and small grains.
Aerial seeding ahead of and after harvest windows.
Targeted work on problem areas instead of the whole field.
Application when ground rigs cannot enter the field.
Canopy application on slopes and in permanent crops.
Multispectral scouting for disease, drought, and nutrient status.
Survey of pivots, laterals, and drainage for faults and dry zones.
Herd counts, water checks, and fence-line patrol.
Seed, chemical, fuel, and parts flown to crews on remote blocks.
Powerus fields one autonomous architecture across six missions, shared platforms, shared ground control, a single U.S. supply chain.
