Top 3 Uses of Drone Technology in Agriculture
The use of drones in agriculture is rapidly growing as they now offer an effective approach towards streamlining farm management, while allowing agronomists and farmers to gain effective insights into their crops, livestock, and farming assets.
The path to non-military use of drones started just 20 years ago in Australia, with the introduction of legislation covering the operation of crewless aerial vehicles (UAVs). Since then, drones have become smaller, more sophisticated and less expensive, broadening their appeal considerably. What was a niche technology just a few years ago has become a mainstream industry, with private and commercial sales rising rapidly.
At Prisma Technologies, we specialise in providing drone solutions and services to businesses and individuals across Australia. Whether you are interested in starting a commercial drone programme or using UAVs for leisure purposes, we can help you to get started.

Which drone beginner guide should you start with?
New drone operators can learn many different skills, but before you get started, we recommend taking a little time to consider your goals. What will you be using drones for, and what are the most important skills you will need to master?
If, for example, you are planning to use drones to inspect crops or for other agricultural applications, you will want to learn how to use multispectral and thermal sensors and — more importantly — how to analyse the data they collect. If you want to start using drones in a law enforcement capacity, basic flying and camera operational skills are going to be at the top of your list.
