Environmental & Agri


At Specialised Drone Services (SDS), we combine cutting-edge drone technology with industry expertise to deliver precision aerial solutions for agriculture, mine sites, and environmental management. Our DJI Agras T100 platform represents the next generation of intelligent spraying, seeding, and sensing technology — designed for large-scale, high-efficiency operations where accuracy and safety are paramount.


AgriculturalApplications

  • Precision Spraying & Seeding: The Agras T100’s high-capacity tank and dual-atomizing spray system ensure even coverage across large areas, reducing chemical use and improving efficiency.

  • Targeted Weed Control: With intelligent variable-rate application and terrain-following radar, the T100 can treat difficult slopes, fencelines, and windrows with pinpoint accuracy.

  • Crop Health Monitoring: Integrated multispectral and LiDAR mapping capabilities allow us to detect stress, monitor growth stages, and optimize yield potential.

  • Fertiliser & Nutrient Application: Drone-based spreading improves uniformity and reduces ground compaction, ideal for sensitive soil environments.


Mine Site Rehabilitation and Environmental Management

  • Rehabilitation Seeding: Perfect for hard-to-reach mine slopes, waste dumps, and rehabilitation zones, the Agras T100 delivers precise native seed dispersal across variable terrain.

  • Dust and Erosion Control: Aerial application of stabilisers or surface treatments helps maintain compliance and safety in remote or hazardous areas.

  • Inaccessible Terrain Operations: Our drones eliminate the need for manual access in steep or unsafe zones, reducing risk while improving coverage consistency.

  • Weed Management in Industrial Areas: Aerial spraying enables efficient control of invasive species around infrastructure and buffer zones, supporting long-term environmental sustainability.


LiDAR Integration for Survey and Mapping

Our LiDAR-equipped drones provide unmatched detail for terrain and vegetation mapping. When combined with our Agras operations, LiDAR enables:

  • Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) for site planning, rehabilitation design, and water flow analysis.

  • Vegetation and Canopy Structure Mapping to monitor regrowth and biodiversity in environmental projects.

  • Volume and Surface Analysis for stockpiles, erosion studies, and mine-site reporting.

  • Precision Terrain-Following to optimize spray accuracy and uniform application across complex landscapes.
