| 1 | Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is an aerial vehicle without human pilot on board. Also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) or Drone. Nowadays Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) are coming equipped with tanks to carry desired chemicals, along with a spraying mechanism such as nozzles or sprayers to spray those chemicals on the targeted area. This system attached to the UAS is called as Unmanned Aerial Spraying System (UASS) which is a modern technology used in agriculture to apply plant protection products (PPP). | |
| 2 | Continuous advances in flight control, flight duration, and payload potential have led to increase in usage of UAS for agricultural purpose. The use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in agriculture is rapidly evolving, with Unmanned Aerial Spraying Systems (UASS), commonly known as drone sprayers, already being utilized for applying pesticides in various crops across the country | |
| 3 | This standard is being brought which will cover the terminologies, requirements, and tests to be conducted on Unmanned Aerial Spraying Systems (UASS) for establishing its performance. | |
| 4 | The standard specifies field measurements of spray deposition to determine the quantity and distribution of spray in a plane surface area in the transverse direction to the flight direction, treated by specific Unmanned Aerial Spraying Systems (UASS) with downward directed application.
