CONTROL
From an array of sensors, you have real-time access to vitals such as GPS position, flow-rate, altitude, and more. All flight and treatment data is stored within your account so that you can access as-applied maps, maintenance data, and more within our interface.
RELIABILITY
We design and build our systems to stand up to the real-life challenges of field work. With aerospace grade materials, redundant sub-systems, and easily serviceable components, our AgroDrones will do the heavy-duty work, day in and day out.
MONITOR
Hylio`s AgroDrones can be flown in either autonomous or manual flight control modes. You can command up to four UAS from a single ground station as they complete fully automated operations. Also, each AgroDrone comes with an RC controller for optional manual mode.
OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE
The AgroDrones detect and avoid obstacles in real-time using multiple radar sensors. This feature is active in both autonomous and manual control modes. You can fly with confidence in complicated areas thanks to this safety feature.
REAL-TIME KINEMATIC POSITIONING
For many applications, standard GPS accuracy is enough. For applications where you need centimeter-level precision, you can utilize Hylio`s RTK base station solution. The GPS units equipped on the AgroDrone are already compatible with the base station; simply set the station up, click, "connect", and then you`ll have access to RTK corrections.
EYE IN THE SKY
All of our AgroDrones come equipped with 1080p first-person-view video streaming. From the monitor built into the controller, you can see what your AgroDrone sees in real-time. This feature is especially useful for controlling the AgroDrone when doing manual-control applications. You can also stream this camera feed to your ground station laptop or tablet.
AG-272 AgroDrone
Fully autonomous, eight-rotor UAS platform designed and manufactured by Hylio, Inc. Comes equipped with a high-precision spraying system consisting of one 18.0 gallon tank, TeeJet nozzles, and electronic flowmeters.
Obstacle Avoidance Radar
Hylio assists with Part 137 onboarding as a complimentary service along with your purchase of any of our UAS. Essentially, we provide thorough guides as well as blank/example documents for every step of the process. You simply need to fill out similar turn in the application documents to your local Flights Standards District Office (FSDO) and eventually FAA officials will visit you for an interview/test to finalize your application. The entire process from start to final approval can take several months. We have seen the process take as little as 2 months and as long as 12 months. Generally speaking, the sooner you start this, the better! You can learn more about drone spraying regulations at our regulations page here.
Long Range Radio
Purchase of the Enterprise Kit includes a one-year warranty that covers component defects which fall under the manufacturer`s (our) responsibility. Inquire for more specifics on the warranty terms and conditions.
RTK Compatible GPS
Hylio values all of its customers and has a diverse team of agricultural, engineering, and computer science experts that are immediately available via phone, email, and video chat during normal business hours to provide remote technical support. Normal business hours are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM Central Time to 6:00 PM Central Time.
Drone Toolkit
Purchase includes freight delivery to any location within the continental U.S. For international shipping, extra charges apply.
Handheld GPS Marker
Purchase of the Enterprise Kit includes full access to comprehensive training materials (primarily video tutorials and written documentation) that cover the maintenance and handling of the UAS, precision agricultural knowledge and techniques, UAS regulations, and safety.
RC Controller w/ Monitor
Purchase of the Enterprise Kit includes lifetime access to Hylio`s proprietary agricultural UAS ground control software (GCS) called AgroSol. The operator will not have to pay any recurring fees for access to the basic AgroSol GCS features.
Smart LiPo Batteries
Two-channel lithium polymer battery charging units that are capable of charging a pair of batteries (2 batteries) simultaneously. Each charger can charge a pair of batteries in approximately 30 minutes. Please note that the charge rate is dependent on variety of factors including voltage and capacity of the power source, temperature, and level of discharge. The chargers are ergonomic and rugged, making them ideal for industrial operations.
Automatic LiPo Chargers
The AG-272 utilizes two 42 Amp, 51.8V (2175.6 Watt/hr) lithium-polymer batteries simultaneously for system power. The batteries include LED indicators to display charge state.
Access to AgroSol Software
Hylio`s UAS are designed to fly completely autonomously via computer control, but an RC controller is included that allows for intuitive manual flight control. The controller also doubles as a video monitor for the FPV (First-Person-View) camera feed.
Comprehensive Training
A proprietary, handheld GPS device that integrates directly with AgroSol and allows the operator to conveniently mark field boundaries, obstacles, and other landmarks.
Domestic Delivery
A convenient tool-bag that contains tools the operator needs to operate and maintain the UAS. Includes a torque wrench, pliers, various screwdrivers, a digital level, and other useful tools.
Unlimited Remote Support
The AG-272 is equipped with two GPS units which are both compatible with RTK correction data. Please note that the RTK ground station component is sold separately.
FAA Regulatory Onboarding
915 MHz radio telemetry modem which can communicate directly with one, or multiple, Hylio UAS. The radio modem can connect directly to a computer or tablet device via USB. The operator can communicate with the UAS without the need for internet connection.
One Year Warranty
The UAS comes equipped with two HD cameras that allows the operator to view high definition video in real-time on the included RC controller/monitor device.
HD FPV Video Streaming
The AG-272 is equipped with multiple wide-angle radars pointing laterally, upwards, and downwards. These radars give the AG-272 a near-complete sphere of radar detection and avoidance.
