Modern unmanned aerial technologies for the development of agribusiness and precision farming

Abstract The article discusses modern trends in the use of drones in agribusiness and precision farming. It is shown that agriculture today has an increased demand for data obtained from unmanned aerial systems, mainly for aerial photography, since satellite observations do not fully satisfy users in different regions. Maps showing NDVI are essential for precision farming, since they allow you to analyze the state of vegetation, its density, germination and growth, and predict land productivity. They also help identify problem areas of oppressed vegetation. Traditionally, these data for calculating NDVI farmers received by processing satellite remote sensing information. But after the advent of affordable UAVs, it became possible to reduce the cost of such data, increase the efficiency of their receipt and resolution. We also note a promising trend that is associated with the transition from remote control of drones to robotic systems with automated information processing.
