Agriculture Drone Missions, From Scouting to NDVI

Plan fixed-altitude grid missions over your fields, save the parcel once, and re-fly every week of the growing season. When something's off, you'll see it in the NDVI map before you see it in the crop.

Built for this mission

Mavic 3 Multispectral-ready

Drone catalog knows about the 5-band multispectral payload. Gimbal clamps, sensor footprint, and GSD math are all correct for NDVI-grade capture.

Save field boundaries as parcels

Every field is a named parcel. Next week's scout = one-click reload + fly. No re-drawing, no guessing altitude.

Free for farm-scale use

Planning a 40-acre corn field is free forever. Only pay for processing if you want to host orthophotos or multi-temporal comparisons.

Recommended settings

Starting values for this use case. Tune to your drone, your lighting, and your target.

Mission Type
Area (polygon of field boundary)
Altitude
80-120m for scouting; 60-80m for dense NDVI
Overlap
70% front / 65% side for scouting (less for NDVI)
Gimbal
-90° (nadir)
Capture
Continuous time-interval (speed matters; light is uniform)
Best Drone
Mavic 3 Multispectral for NDVI; any drone for RGB scouting

How to fly it

  1. 1Draw field polygon along the headlands.
  2. 2Altitude 100m, overlap 70/65, nadir gimbal, continuous capture.
  3. 3Fly weekly — ideally 10am-2pm, sun angle >45°.
  4. 4For NDVI: upload to Muninn cloud or process in Pix4Dfields / WebODM.
  5. 5Compare week-over-week in QGIS time-series view.

Questions we hear

Do I need a multispectral drone?

For NDVI, yes (Mavic 3 Multispectral, Sentera, MicaSense). For visual scouting — stress, weeds, stand counts — any drone works. Air 3S is a solid visual-only starting point.

How often should I fly?

Weekly during critical growth stages. Every 2-3 weeks otherwise. Muninn's parcel save makes the repeat flights basically free effort-wise.

Can I fly BVLOS over my own farm?

Not without an FAA waiver. Even over your own property, Part 107 rules apply (VLOS, <400ft AGL). Muninn enforces 120m max altitude.
