Leading Panchromatic Camera Kit Integrated with WingtraOne Gen II VTOL Drone
Provides Users with Optimal Spectral and Spatial Resolution for Commercial Aerial Mapping
WICHITA, KS / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2023 / AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American:UAVS) ("AgEagle" or the "Company"), an ?industry-leading? provider of full stack flight hardware, sensors and software for commercial and government use, today announced that it has signed a two-year supply agreement with Wingtra AG, securing the supply of RedEdge-P sensor kits for integration with WingtraOne Vertical Take-Off and Landing ("VTOL") drones.
Pursuant to the agreement, AgEagle has guaranteed production and delivery of RedEdge-P sensors kitted with its MicaSense Calibrated Reflectance Panel 2, RedEdge-P Lens Cover, CF Express Storage Card, CF Express Storage Card Reader, MicaSense DLS2 and MicaSense WiFi Dongle (collectively, the "RedEdge-P Sensor Kits") to Wingtra over the next two years.
Maximilian Boosfeld, Founder and CEO of Wingtra, stated, "We have been very pleased to offer AgEagle's MicaSense sensors as integrated payloads on our WingtraOne VTOL drones for the past several years. We believe that the combination of our WingtraOne Gen II with AgEagle's RedEdge-P provides our valued customers with the highest possible accuracy, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their commercial drone operations. This is particularly useful for those seeking to materially benefit from unprecedented, plant-level detail and high precision resolution in their commercial agriculture, forestry, environmental research and water management applications. Add to this WingtraOne's fast coverage even for large areas, easy setup and high accuracy data, and we now offer an all-in-one solution for a wide range of projects."
The rugged RedEdge-P is an AgEagle sensor innovation introduced to market in late 2021, which features a high-resolution panchromatic band for pan-sharpened output resolutions of 2cm/0.8 inches at 60 meters/200 feet. It enables pixel-aligned outputs at previously unattainable resolutions while delivering optimal efficiency and reliability, opening the door to season-long comprehensive plant canopy analysis at all growth stages.
"AgEagle is very proud to have Wingtra as one of our trusted sensor integration partners which shares our same commitment to quality, performance and excellence in the products we are pioneering and to the mission of advancing the growth of the commercial unmanned aerial system ("UAS") market. In addition to representing more than $2.0 million in new revenue to AgEagle over the next two years, this agreement supports our belief that mainstream adoption of UAS on a global scale will only be possible if the world's leading providers of drone solutions work together to deliver technologies and capabilities that benefit commercial drone operators," said Barrett Mooney, Chairman and CEO of AgEagle.
