AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. shares strengthened as the company announced the sale of a RedEdge-P Dual drone to Shizuoka University in Japan.
The drone, equipped with a 10-band camera, will aid researchers in studying the effect of environmental factors on Japan's diverse Alpine forests.
Professor Atsuhiro Iio from Shizuoka University highlighted the drone's capability to scan large forest areas effectively, identifying tree species resilient to droughts, diseases, and invasive fauna.
The research aims to predict and mitigate the impact of drought on Japanese forests and can potentially benefit other countries facing similar forest challenges.
