The hexacopter drone has six propellers and has the carrying capacity of about 16kg, which means it can spray up to 16 litres of pesticide in about 15-18 minutes.The drones_designed and manufactured in Pakistan will reduce time and cost of farmers while saving crops & protecting farmers from exposure to harmful chemicals with efficient spraying*The manual spraying that takes more than one hour can be done in 5 minutes using the drone...! 


The dual threat of the coronavirus pandemic & locust swarms has mobilised local companies to develop & scale up manufacturing of made in Pakistan products.Drones are also under production at high-tech industry National Radio Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) that also developed Pakistan-made ventilators...!

The drones,Equipped with mapping sensors,will be used to spray pesticides as nearly 60 districts in all provinces of Pakistan are battling an invasion of desert locusts devouring crops. Spraying of pesticides using drones is highly effective over traditional methods such as vehicle-mounted sprayers...!

The locust invasion has been declared a national emergency to fight the worst locust plague in decades.An estimated 38% of Pakistan’s land is potential breeding ground for locusts,according to the FAO report.

Ministry for Food estimated the losses to agriculture from locusts could be between a minimum of Rs490 billion and up to Rs2.451 trillion in the worst-case scenario...!
