Lehmann Aviation has announced the launch of its most efficient and affordable aerial system for precision agriculture, the new LA300 drone with the MicaSense RedEdge multispectral camera.
The LA300AG drone is compatible with the latest version of Lehmann OperationCenter software for flight preparation and mission control, natively designed for Windows 8.1 Tablets and PC. OperationCenter has been proven to be very powerful and probably the most user-friendly drone control software.
To get multispectral images of the crops, the user just has to set waypoints on the touchscreen map of the area, and OperationCenter will automatically calculate all mission parameters. After the trajectory is sent to the LA300AG via Wi-Fi, the drone is launched by hand, automatically accomplishes the flight before landing fully autonomously at the chosen site with geotagged multispectral images on the SD card.
The LA300AG flies for up to 45 minutes at a range of up to 25km. It’s able to fly in harsh environments, in temperatures from -25C up to 60C, with winds of up to 35 km/hr. Together with the RedEdge camera, the LA300AG weighs 950g, with a wingspan of 92cm and a length of 45cm.
The launch price of the LA300AG is 7,990 euros (correct at April 2015). All Lehmann Aviation drones come with one-year warranty and can be regularly upgraded to newer versions.
