Course Description:

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), offer numerous advantages that traditional surveying methods cannot match. They provide an efficient, cost-effective, and highly accurate means of capturing aerial data, precise measurements, smooth maneuverability, speedy and time-critical results enabling professionals to make informed decisions throughout project lifecycles.

Drone Technology provides an advanced method for monitoring the health and growth of crops in order to increase crop production and divide large farms into management zones. This information equips farm managers, agriculturists and project managers in mapping farm layout, crop suitability zones and analysis and vegetation indices for an optimum farming operations and long term goals of sustainable development.
