About
About Brumby
Brumby begins with a digital map of the ranch, including paddocks, gates, troughs and exclusion areas. An operator schedules a muster or monitoring mission and supervises the autonomous aircraft from a local base. The drone follows the planned route, uses sound and movement to influence the cattle and records visual information about the herd and property.
The system is designed to continue operating where a remote ranch lacks dependable internet connectivity, with reports synchronised when a connection becomes available. Brumby states that a typical configuration can support herds of up to roughly 2,000 animals. The company is currently running pilot programmes with ranch operators as it develops the system toward wider unattended operation.
