Updates on Drone Technology: Soaring Inspire 3 to the Arctic, DJI's Triple Launch of Agriculture Drones, and Additional Exciting Developments!
In the realm of technology and agriculture, DJI, a global leader in civilian drones, has made a significant stride with the launch of three new agricultural drones - the Agras T100, T70P, and T25P. These drones, unveiled globally in July 2025, aim to revolutionise precision farming by enhancing efficiency, safety, and multi-use capabilities[1][2].
### The Powerhouse: Agras T100
The flagship model, the Agras T100, is a powerhouse designed specifically for large-scale commercial farms. With a payload capacity of up to 100 liters for spraying or 150 liters for spreading, it is built like a "flying tractor"[3][4]. The drone boasts a high flight speed of up to 20 m/s, roughly twice the efficiency of its predecessors. Its advanced spraying system can deliver up to 40 liters per minute with an optional four-sprinkler setup, while the redesigned screw feeder for spreading applications ensures precise application[3][4].
### Medium and Small Farms: Agras T70P and T25P
The Agras T70P and T25P are tailored to medium and smaller farms respectively. Although specific payloads and detailed features are less emphasised, these drones also incorporate DJI’s latest safety and automation technologies[1][3][4].
### Global Launch and Availability in the US
These new drones are part of DJI's global launch, making them available on international markets, including the US, as of mid-2025[1][2][3]. However, it's important to note that DJI products have faced regulatory challenges in the US in the past, so availability might be subject to certification and compliance requirements.
Meanwhile, in the realm of security, the Secret Service has responded to last year's assassination attempt on former President Trump by rolling out a fleet of military-grade drones for aerial security. These drones, equipped with real-time surveillance and threat detection capabilities, are designed to jam unauthorized drones midair[6].
The Secret Service has also established mobile command posts nationwide, marking a significant shift in their operational strategy[7]. The Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has signed a directive to accelerate U.S. drone dominance[8].
In a separate development, filmmaker Denis Barbas released a cinematic journey to the Arctic, filmed entirely with the DJI Inspire 3. The expedition, which lasted over a month, was shot in extreme cold, white vistas, and shifting light conditions, showcasing the Inspire 3's dynamic range and ability to capture fine details, even in low winter light[5].
