The Recce, our advanced B-VLOS portable fixed-wing VTOL equipped with RGB and Multispectral imaging, offers 3-4 hours of flight endurance for detailed environmental surveys. Our approach includes sophisticated mapping and cloud-based visualization software to address the challenge of invasive alien plants (IAPs), which consume up to 30% of South Africa's freshwater. 

Considering that 50% of the nation's water is sourced from just 5% of the land, the urgency to keep water catchment areas free from IAPs is paramount. The imminent deployment of our Dragonfly V, with its impressive 16-hour endurance, promises to significantly expand our daily operational coverage and reduce costs, presenting a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional manned aircraft operations. 

This strategic enhancement will bolster our efforts to protect vital ecosystems, including the Cape Floral Kingdom, by effectively managing the spread of invasive species.

Greenfly Aviation, in strategic partnership with X-Sterile Insect Technique (XSIT), has innovated in the field of biocontrol deployment through the development of cutting-edge hopper technology, specifically designed for our Dragonfly V aircraft. This aircraft stands out with its remarkable all-day flight endurance, accommodating underwing pods that can be configured for a variety of missions, from carrying biocontrols to extending flight range with additional hydrogen fuel. 

This technological advancement not only enhances the precision and reach of biocontrol agent deployment but also significantly elevates operational safety and efficiency. By replacing hazardous traditional crop spraying methods with our drone technology, we substantially lower the risks associated with low-altitude, manual spraying. 

Moreover, our specialized GPS counter technology enables real-time monitoring and mapping of biocontrol releases, offering comprehensive data insights. This facilitates meticulous quality assessment and strategic planning, ensuring optimal coverage and impact.

Dragonfly V, designed for farm and game reserve security, also offers significant operational savings for daytime wildlife management tasks, such as game counting. This aircraft features advanced surveillance capabilities, including thermal infrared for detecting unauthorized individuals at night and RADAR systems for snare and gin trap detection. 

Our collaboration with DroneSAR, led by Mike Inggs, focuses on leveraging RADAR technology to address the critical issue of endangered wildlife falling victim to undetected snares—a cruel fate inflicted by bushmeat poaching. This initiative represents a significant step towards enhancing conservation efforts, with the dual benefits of improving security and enabling efficient wildlife monitoring.
