About XAG
XAG develops autonomous agricultural aircraft and ground vehicles for crop protection, spreading, mapping, transport and farm monitoring. The P150 Max is its high-capacity multirotor platform, using interchangeable RevoSpray, RevoCast and RevoSling modules with onboard mapping, obstacle perception and centimetre-level positioning.
The company sells through regional distributors and pairs its vehicles with XAG One mission software, remote controllers, RTK infrastructure, batteries and charging equipment. Agricultural drones, farm-patrol aircraft, autonomous rovers and supporting IoT systems form an integrated equipment and farm-operations portfolio.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-02-07 - Product Launch - P150 Max enters US commercial sales
US deliveries were expected to begin shortly after the launch. The platform supports spraying, spreading, mapping and farm logistics. The US configuration retains the 80 kg maximum payload claim.
Source - 2023-07-20 - Product Launch - XAG launches P100 Pro agricultural drone in Vietnam
The P100 Pro is XAG’s latest-generation agricultural drone and was released in Đồng Tháp province as a fully autonomous crop-protection platform. The foldable platform carries up to 50 kg for spraying or 80 kg for spreading while fitting within a transport footprint of about 2.5 m². The launch established the Đồng Tháp Digital Agricultural Cooperative to promote agricultural technology and support rice and other Vietnamese field operations.

XAG teamed with FarmInno (Thailand), part of Chia Tai Group, to introduce fully autonomous agricultural drones to Thai farmers. The launch covered the XAG P100 and V40 models for AI-assisted spreading and precision spraying. The programme was framed around raising productivity and application quality for Thai farmers through advanced agricultural technology.
Source - 2023-01-16 - Regulatory - XAG P40 and V40 receive UK CAA spraying authorization
The UK CAA granted XAG’s P40 and V40 the country’s first-ever Operational Authorization for agricultural spraying operations. XAG credited its partner AutoSpray Systems with helping make drone spraying and spreading on UK farms legal under the authorization. The release places the authorization against UK restrictions on agricultural drone operations, including a 25-kilogram take-off-weight limit and a prohibition on dropping material from aircraft.

The P100 was used for spraying, spreading and other crop-production workflows. The deployment evidence spans multiple farms rather than one named customer site. Vietnam is retained as operating geography and is not modeled as a company endpoint.
Source - 2021-11-09 - Product Launch - XAG launches V40 and P40 agricultural drones globally
Both models support mapping, spraying and granular spreading workflows. V40 uses a tilting twin-rotor design with liquid and granular payload modules. P40 uses a compact four-rotor layout with interchangeable spraying and spreading systems.

On 14 October 2021, XAG’s Canadian partner SKY AG Canada kicked off a long-term joint-research collaboration with the University of Guelph. The work covered two projects: late-season nitrogen applications in tall corn and cover-crop seeding in soybean. At the University of Guelph’s Elora Research Station, SKY AG demonstrated the XAG P30; the source reports autonomous RTK navigation, centimeter-level accuracy and an initial seeding result that matched the target density.

The R150 appeared during the centre’s opening ceremony. Attendees tested its handheld control and reviewed spraying and transport functions. This was a demonstration-tour stop, not evidence of routine commercial operation.
Source - 2021-04-28 - Demonstration - XAG drones join Australian noxious-weed evaluation
The work targeted weed control in terrain difficult to cover with conventional equipment. The drones applied precision spraying as part of the taskforce activity. The activity was a bounded field evaluation rather than a durable customer deployment.

The launch included P40 and P80 agricultural drones. Two R150 ground-vehicle editions were introduced for spreading and mowing. The products were announced for subsequent commercial availability in China.
Source - 2020-07-05 - Demonstration - XAG P20 tested in South African sugarcane trial
The comparison assigned fields of one to five hectares to drone and helicopter applications. The P20 used a custom spraying attachment and 12-litre liquid tank. The trial compared the P20 treatment with helicopter application in the same sugarcane-ripening programme.

Three P Series drones with JetSeed spread a blend of 12 native seed types. The operation covered about 40 hectares over two days. DELWP funded the project and Heytesbury District Landcare Network managed it.
Source - 2019-09-13 - Production Milestone - XAG drone services pass 20 million hectares
The total was recorded through 11 September 2019. Operations spanned 38 countries at the time. A single-day operation in August covered 140,000 hectares.

XAG and Huawei initiated joint experiments in July 2019 to explore potential uses of 5G, AI and cloud computing in agriculture. At Huawei’s Cloud City Summit in Guangzhou, XAG presented its vision for 5G-powered agriculture at an event focused on industry innovation driven by 5G technology. XAG co-founder and vice president Justin Gong delivered a keynote at the summit on the company’s approach to 5G-powered agricultural technology.
