US defence tech startup Tesseract Ventures has leveraged its military drone technology and robotics platform to release an Ag drone specifically tailored for American farmers.

The Tesseract Ag Drone is designed to help farmers manage their crops and data more accurately. Using computer vision and optics, the drone provides farmers with detailed, real-time information about their fields. Integrated with the Tesseract Synthesis Software, the drone transforms raw data into actionable insights, enabling farmers to make informed decisions with use of 21st century AI tools and easy to use software interfaces.

The Tesseract Ag Drone is designed to help farmers identify pests, monitor weed growth, assess crop and soil health, track weather impacts, and observe crop development. The drone delivers real-time data and intelligent recommendations, enhancing efficiency, yield, and sustainability. The company says its American-made quality and reliability set it apart in the industry.

Pairing the Tesseract Ag Drone with the Tesseract Synthesis Software simplifies precision farming. The combination collects real-time data and leverages AI to analyse it, offering immediate insights into crop health, pest issues, weed pressure, and weather effects. The centralised data management system streamlines decision-making and helps foster collaboration on the farm.

“With the Ag Drone and Synthesis Integration, Tesseract Ventures is not just launching a new American-made drone product; we are ushering in a new era of precision agriculture,” stated John Boucard, CEO of Tesseract Ventures. “This technology is a game-changer for US farmers, providing technological advantages previously unavailable on a single platform. Our commitment to agricultural innovation is both military-proven and farmer-led, offering enhanced capabilities and strategic benefits to our national farmers and co-op partners.”

Tesseract recently partnered with Iowa-based Landus Farm Cooperative under a Department of Defense programme. This collaboration allowed Tesseract to soft launch its Synthesis technology through innovation connector events, reimagining agricultural software, data integration, and visualisation to benefit farmers with an intuitive and user-friendly approach.
