of Florida Sugar
End-to-end autonomous fluid application and crop intelligence platform engineered for the Everglades Agricultural Area.
The New Standard in Sugarcane Agronomy
Florida's sugarcane industry is at a crossroads. Legacy aerial application methods are no longer compatible with modern environmental mandates or margin requirements.
Florida Drone Solutions provides an end-to-end autonomous fluid application and intelligence platform designed specifically for the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA).
By combining centimeter-level RTK precision with multispectral crop-health mapping, we empower producers to reduce chemical COGS by 30% while securing a protective ESG moat around their operations.
Protect your yield. Protect the Glades. Protect your bottom line.

Legacy Aviation vs. Autonomous Precision
A side-by-side comparison of traditional crop-dusting aircraft against FDS autonomous drone technology.
| Feature | Legacy Aviation | FDS Autonomy |
|---|---|---|
| Application Altitude | 40–60 ft (High Drift Risk) | 8–12 ft (Sub-Meter Accuracy) |
| Chemical Waste | 25%+ (Blanket Spraying) | <5% (Targeted Variable Rate) |
| Canopy Penetration | Surface Only | Deep (Rotor-Wash Downforce) |
| ESG Impact | High Carbon / High Runoff | 90% Carbon Reduction / Protective ESG |
| Risk & Liability | High (Pilot Safety / Drift Lawsuits) | Minimal (Autonomous / Precision) |
| Yield Intelligence | Visual Only | Multispectral / Brix Mapping |

Brix & Yield Intelligence
Our multispectral imaging system captures crop-health data invisible to the human eye. By mapping normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) across every acre, we identify stress zones, nutrient deficiencies, and optimal harvest windows — transitioning your operation from broadcast to precision application.
Combined with centimeter-level RTK positioning, our autonomous fleet delivers variable-rate prescriptions that reduce chemical inputs by 30–40% while maximizing Brix content at harvest.
