DroneSense, a leading provider of drone software for public safety, and Parrot, Europe's leading commercial micro UAV company, today announced a strategic partnership as part of the launch of the Parrot ANAFI UKR GOV micro UAV at the Paris Air Show 2025. This integrated solution provides a Blue UAS / NDAA compliant drone hardware and software platform specifically tailored for U.S. public safety agencies struggling with increased regulatory requirements and mission complexity.

By combining Parrot's proven ANAFI UKR GOV hardware with DroneSense's operationally proven software, the partnership is setting new standards in situational awareness, tactical coordination and drone first responder (DFR) readiness. DroneSense delivers the complete package - hardware, software and aftermarket service - directly to the authorities, ensuring rapid deployment, reliable support and uninterrupted operational capability.

The ANAFI UKR GOV drone offers encrypted communication over local radio and 4G/5G cellular networks. Its advanced navigation features enable precise flying even in environments without GNSS access. Using visual inertial odometry and AI-assisted geopositioning, position and speed are calculated in real time. The drone also has a LoRa backup radio for secure communication in case of connection loss or disruption.

The ANAFI UKR GOV is Blue UAS approved and NDAA compliant. At only 959 grams, it is ultra-portable and can take to the air in less than 120 seconds. Equipped with 35x zoom, 4K HDR video and FLIR Boson thermal imaging camera (640 x 512 pixels), the drone offers excellent mission coverage. Its advanced target detection and tracking capabilities enable autonomous object detection, identification and tracking with minimal pilot effort. The platform also offers remote antenna capabilities for tactical operations and open architecture integration via Parrot SDK 8.

The DroneSense software platform provides comprehensive situational awareness by combining video streaming, integrated mapping and sensor data. Its DFR-enabled capabilities support remote operations, including detect-and-avoid (DAA) technology and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights. The intuitive mission management interface enables rapid deployment, collaborative planning and multi-agency coordination. DroneSense's hardware-independent design ensures compatibility with various drone platforms, while its enterprise-grade cybersecurity infrastructure ensures compliance, data protection and privacy.

"Public safety agencies urgently need powerful and reliable drone hardware solutions for a variety of mission profiles," said Chris Eyhorn, CEO of DroneSense. "Together, we offer a compelling alternative - combining Parrot's advanced hardware with DroneSense's field-proven, hardware-agnostic platform."

"DroneSense's software platform perfectly complements the Parrot ANAFI UKR GOV micro UAV and significantly expands its capabilities for U.S. law enforcement agencies," added Chris Roberts, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Parrot Drones. "This integration sets a new standard for safe and effective drone operations and supports mission success in complex operational environments."

Swarms of nanodrones can greatly increase the efficiency of agriculture. Researchers are certain that they can spray and fertilize independently when they detect a need and much more.

Sat., May 31, 2025, 3:47 p.m.

Unprecedented growth

The global market for agricultural nanodrones is growing rapidly. Forecasts predict an average annual growth rate of 35% over the next decade. Governments and private investors are increasingly investing in this groundbreaking technology and driving progress in research, development and deployment.

Agricultural countries such as India, Brazil and the countries of sub-Saharan Africa are actively using nanodrones. The market for small and nano drones is expected to reach USD 10.4 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 8.6% from 2023. The focus here is on agriculture and disaster management.

Political recommendations also advocate subsidies and incentives to encourage small farmers to use drone technology.

Nanodrones make agriculture much more efficient

Research shows that the use of nanodrones has helped to optimize efficiency in agriculture. The Robotic Eagle-Micro Drone, for example, shows the potential of bio-inspired nanodrones in tackling agricultural problems such as pollinator decline and crop monitoring.

Nanocopters, or small helicopter-like drones, can also be used to stimulate pollination and increase productivity.

Examples: Monitor, detect, treat

The seamless integration of nanodrones into sensor networks has proven its worth in large-scale agricultural monitoring. It improves crop yields and reduces the use of chemical pesticides at the same time.

As these drones detect plant diseases before visible symptoms appear, they prevent large-scale crop losses and thus ensure food security even in regions affected by unpredictable climate changes.

Newer nanodrones offer innovative solutions that increase efficiency while reducing operating costs and environmental impact. For example, nanodrones such as AgroFly are designed for high-precision pesticide application, minimizing drift and ensuring optimal crop protection without excessive exposure to the product.

Another system called AgroWings is designed for large-scale monitoring and is equipped with AI-powered sensors that analyze soil conditions, detect nutrient deficiencies and provide real-time feedback to farmers.

Robotic Eagle uses advanced imaging technologies to detect early signs of disease, pest infestation and water stress to intervene in time and prevent large-scale crop failure.

Nano drones in agriculture are a growing trend. There are various companies that specialize in drones for agriculture and whose shares are traded on the stock exchange, such as Drone Destination or ZenaTech. There are also companies that manufacture drones in general, such as DJI or Parrot, whose shares can also be found on the stock exchange.
