When used as a photogrametric aero survey tool, DRACTOR 25A presents as a great differential its exclusive 4-hours autonomy, since its high efficiency of propulsion and exclusive fuel tank system allow the swap of the 10-liters tank of pesticide for a 10-liters tank of fuel, summing 12.5 liters of fuel.
Using Dractor Planner, its users plan missions in a fast and secure way, generating flight plans that assure maximum productivity in the mapping.
Dractor also leaves factory with the established embedded XMobots HAL technology, RTK system that assures accuracy of few centimeters, with no need to collect control points. Counting on Dractor, you may also use high-resolution APS-C cameras in the RGB bands as well as in NIR and RedEdge bands.
DRACTOR 25A becomes a powerful tool for data capture, combining the easy operation and longer life cycle of the multirotor drones and the high capacity of mapping that was only present in fixed wing drones (in a single flight above 400ft counting on XM3 sensor, 2.5cm GSD and a 60% side overlap, DRACTOR can map 750 hectares).
Check below some highlights of the mapping version of the DRACTOR.

Mapping flight (over 4 hours) using XMC sensor for mutispectral data capture.
Processing of the multispectral ortophoto. The generation of the orthomosaic is a simple and optimized step, thanks to XMC plug-in implemented in the Metashape software.
Analysis of the orthomosaic using the AI resources of XFarming, the data postprocessing software developed by XMobots*.
After weed bushes detection and delimitation, XFarming exports the polygons of the infested areas.
*On sugarcane version, the exclusive and innovative matology plug-in will detect and delimitate automatically the weed bushes.
Dractor flies up to 10m above the center of weed bushes detected by XFarming. High-resolution (4mm) images are generated to allow the identification of each species of weed.
Analysis of samples using XFarming AI**.
**On sugarcane version, the exclusive and innovative matology plug-in helps in the identification of weed species.
With all the infested areas detected and identified by XFarming, the operator performs the flight to spray 10 liters of pesticide up to 1 hour in located areas. This method eliminates weeds which are harmful to the development of the crops in a very agile and accurate way, resulting in a great economy of resources.
DRACTOR 25A presents a hybrid power system, which means, it´s fed by the battery and the generator engine.
The battery is used to supply instant demands of the current, and to perform as redundance for the generator engine, allowing a completely steady flight up to 4 minutes.
Factory integrated
Double frequency: L1 and L2
Time of convergence in seconds
Quad-constellation: GPS, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou
Planimetric accuracy: <5CM @ 400ft AGL
Altmetric accuracy: <10CM @ 400ft AGL
For non-agricultural markets, such as Topography, Mining, Eletric energy, Environment and others, DRACTOR 25A presents the possibility to perform only as a photogrammetric aerial mapping platform. For this kind of application, its 4-hour autonomy increases the performance to the highest level, concerning rotary drone mapping. Besides its autonomy, its high performance is favored by the XM3 camera. With a 24Mpix resolution and a 16mm fix lens. Dractor presents 0.9 x 0.6 inches APS-C sensor while conventional multirotor drones used for mapping use 0.25 x 0.2 inches sensors. Therefore, the coverage band of XM3 camera is around 3.5 times bigger than the ones used in other multirotor drones.
