The invention relates to a system for automating the functions of preparing solution for spraying and to an automated method for the precise, automated preparation of solutions, particularly agricultural inputs such as biofertilisers, pesticides, nutrients and the like, to be sprayed onto agricultural land using drones. The steps of preparing and activating the components are remotely performed and controlled with precision according to the programmed demand.
The present invention relates to an integrated station (100) for spraying, particularly agricultural spraying by drone (20). This mobile integrated station (100) compactly combines systems for preparing spraying solution (30), means for operating drones (20) for refuelling and flight, and a living area for the operator (50). The invention further relates to an automated system for the spraying of agricultural inputs by drone, utilising the integrated station (100) in order to achieve increased operating range and increased sprayed area.
A system that combines aerial surveying and spraying services in a single remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) popularly known as Drone, in a multirotor configuration, with electric propulsion and power system with hybrid power supply (battery and motor-generator) and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) system, wherein, the equipment allows, from the coupling of a set comprising aerial survey sensors such as a high definition camera and equipment aimed at spraying activities such as pumps and nozzles, aerial surveying practices, geoprocessing and spraying of chemical substances such as pesticide, herbicide, larvicide, fungicide and fertilizer, or other liquid agricultural products using a single vehicle; a vehicle is also provided that is prepared to carry out the described system, being a remotely piloted aircraft intended for aerial surveying and spraying activities.

REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SUITABLE FOR AERIAL SURVEY AND SPRAYING ACTIVITIES, AND AERIAL SURVEY AND SPRAYING SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a system that combines aerial survey and spraying services in a single remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) known as a drone, in multi-rotor configuration, with electric propulsion and hybrid power supply system (battery and generator), and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) system. Due to the coupling of an assembly comprising aerial survey sensors such as a high-definition camera, and equipment designed for spraying activities such as pumps and nozzles, this equipment enables aerial surveying, geoprocessing and spraying of chemicals such as pesticide, herbicide, larvicide, fungicide and fertilizer, or other products for agriculture using a vehicle. The invention also relates to the vehicle prepared for the implementation of the system described above, namely a remotely piloted aircraft suitable for aerial survey and spraying activities.
