Central Life Science and Their Precision Vision 40X drone unit

Welcome to another episode of the American Cattlemen Podcast. Today, we will hear from Gale's recent trip to San Antonio, Texas for NCBA CattleCon 2025. Gale sat down with Bill Reynolds with Central Life Sciences and Central UAS Technologies to talk about their new Precision Vision 40x drone unit capable of spraying herds for mosquito control, herbicides, and so much more.  Reynolds shared the company's journey, which began in 2011 when they first started developing unmanned aircraft systems for precision spraying. The podcast highlighted the drone's versatility in agricultural and life science markets. Initially developed to apply larvicides in mosquito-prone areas like marshes and swamplands, the technology has evolved significantly. The current model, the Precision Vision 40x, can carry and apply various materials including herbicides, insecticides, and other agricultural treatments with remarkable precision. Reynolds explained that the drone's technology allows for targeted spot treatments, reducing overall material usage by identifying specific areas that need treatment. The system can apply both liquid and granular materials, with an ultra-low volume payload system that produces droplets as small as 40 microns, effectively controlling insects like mosquitoes, flies, and grasshoppers. An interesting aspect of the technology is its interaction with livestock. Reynolds noted that while cattle might initially be startled by the drone, they quickly acclimate to its presence, much like ducks in previous trials. The larger drones are relatively quiet, which helps minimize animal disturbance. Operational considerations are crucial. Pilots must obtain FAA certification, specifically a Part 137 certificate for agricultural applications. The training process takes approximately two to three months, and Central UAS Technologies provides comprehensive support to help clients navigate regulatory requirements and learn safe operation. The technology represents a cost-effective solution for precision applications, particularly in challenging or urban-adjacent agricultural environments. Interested parties can contact Bill Reynolds at bill.reynolds@central.com or visit the Central Life Sciences website for more information about this innovative agricultural drone technology.
