Ascent AeroSystems, a designer and manufacturer of rugged, compact, high-performance unmanned aerial systems, and AgEagle, a provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and sensors for military, public safety, and commercial use, a announce a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to integrate the AgEagle RedEdge-P multispectral camera with the high-performance Ascent AeroSystems Spirit coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The RedEdge-P multispectral camera will be the first multispectral solution integrated with Ascent’s high-performance, all-weather coaxial UAV platforms. AgEagle CEO Bill Irby commented, “Providing high quality, actionable data to the customer is at the core of what we do, and it’s why we are collaborating with Ascent AeroSystems. Combining our advanced camera sensor technology with the Spirit platform is a natural fit. Working with manufacturers like Ascent enables us to deliver a new dimension of precision and capability to the agriculture sector.”

Under this MOU, the Ascent-AgEagle collaboration will further showcase the payload flexibility and future-proof nature of Ascent’s UAV platforms, while also demonstrating AgEagle’s ability to work with OEMs on modularity, compatibility, and custom interfaces, to solve mission-critical integration challenges in the agricultural UAV sector.

“The agricultural drone market is expanding, rapidly, and the need for reliable, high-performance, scalable UAS platforms is critical,” said Peter Fuchs, President of Ascent AeroSystems. “By pairing the rugged, reliable, all-weather design of the Spirit with the precision and efficiency of AgEagle’s industry-leading RedEdge-P camera, we are paving the way for further innovation and future growth within the agricultural sector.”
