UAVSphere

Global agriculture drone services network for connecting pilots and customers

Description

UAVSphere is a global drone pilot network and online platform that connects customers with professional drone service providers for imaging, mapping and inspection across multiple industries, including agriculture. The platform enables drone-based crop monitoring, field mapping, irrigation canal inspection, soil analysis and targeted spraying services over large areas.

Technology

  • Cloud
  • Desktop/web-based application
  • Drone
  • GIS
  • GPS
  • Online community
  • Remote sensing
  • Website

UAVSphere is a cloud-based, web marketplace within the GeoWGS84 geospatial ecosystem that connects customers with drone pilots for on-demand aerial data services. Customers select an industry or use case and location, then submit a request, and pilots respond with availability and pricing, after which the platform supports coordination and delivery of outputs. Services rely on drones and remote-sensing sensors, with GIS, GPS-based workflows supporting mapping, monitoring and delivery of geospatial outputs such as imagery, maps and reports.

Target

  • Agriculture cooperatives
  • Farm advisors
  • Large size farms
  • Medium size farms
  • Private sector

UAVSphere primarily targets private-sector users such as agribusinesses, agricultural cooperatives, farm advisors, all sizes of farms and drone service companies that need reliable drone data collection and mapping for agricultural decision-making.

Business model

  • Fee for service

UAVSphere operates as a commercial fee-for-service platform where customers request quotes and place orders and functions as part of the GeoWGS84 e-commerce ecosystem. The platform enables drone pilots and partner companies to generate revenue from commissioned flights and data collection, while GeoWGS84 Corp captures service fees for coordinating the network, hosting the platform and providing value-added geospatial processing.

Impact

UAVSphere aims to help make agricultural data collection faster, safer and more precise, supporting connections between pilots and customers, better crop management. The solution reduces input waste and environmental impact and creates new income opportunities for local drone pilots by linking them with paying customers.
