Volatus Aerospace has clinched a national contract that could redefine how Canadian agriculture integrates drone-powered intelligence. The deal—inked with a leading North American crop intelligence provider—will see Volatus deploy multispectral drone surveys across 21 agricultural sites in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec, marking a major leap forward for data-driven farming at scale.
Twice during the growing season, Volatus will capture high-resolution insights into plant health and crop performance—delivering actionable intelligence in real time. With flights already underway, this initiative firmly positions the aerospace tech firm at the cutting edge of precision agriculture, one of the fastest-rising applications of drone and remote sensing technology.
“This contract showcases Volatus’ unique ability to scale drone operations efficiently across Canada,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “It also sets the stage for innovation using autonomous and nested drone systems to meet the evolving needs of smart agriculture.”
Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) capabilities, remote piloting, and drone-in-a-box systems are on the horizon, as Volatus continues developing next-gen platforms for autonomous crop monitoring.
The project comes at a critical juncture. As input costs rise and climate pressures mount, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has emphasized the role of smart farming in ensuring food security and sustainability. Volatus’ ability to execute large-scale, time-sensitive aerial intelligence missions—especially across rural and remote geographies—strengthens its commercial edge and adds serious momentum to Canada’s growing agritech transformation.
In short: Volatus is not just flying drones—it’s powering the future of farming.
