About
About S20
S20 is a granular-application drone for seed, fertiliser and pellet distribution. Its 20-litre hopper distributes dry material measuring approximately 0.5–6 millimetres across a three- to seven-metre swath, using an adjustable valve and disc rotating at up to 1,100 revolutions per minute.
Dual RTK receivers provide positioning to approximately ten centimetres, while ABZ Sense lidar manages obstacle avoidance and altitude. Automated routes can incorporate shapefiles for targeted seed, fertiliser and pellet application across irregular, terraced or waterlogged fields. The 19.8-kilogram aircraft retains local data processing, open software and battery charging in as little as 11 minutes.
