Agriculture and Forestry

Virginia is home to over 8,500,000 acres of farmland, 22 national parks, and 35 state parks. Tomorrow's farmers and park rangers will be able to use Unmanned Systems technology to perform the most demanding of tasks. From crop inspection to search and rescue operations, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles will soon be what we all look to when help is needed.
