Presentation-wsd: Drones for precision agriculture in Africa
1. Drones for Precision Agriculture and
Mapping in Africa
UAVs will save you from Hunger and will bring
food to your table

2. 1-History of Drones

V1-V2-WWII GermanyI
Deny 1, US Navy
1941
Drone means in English male bee
3. RC Model Airplanes are not UAVs nor Aerial Targets
-Live the children get aeronautic education and dream to save them from Daesh
-RCM are the best tool for UAV Pilot Training and UAV engineering education
-Abolish your custom duties for model airplane components in Tunisia & in Africa
Aerial Target
Aoussou MK1
TATI-1997

4. Definition of Drones :
Drone: Faux bourdon, male bee (Dull, Durty,Dangerours)
• RPV : Remote piloted Vehicle (RPV)-
• Umanned Air Vehicle (UAV), unhabited by a man remotely
controled either -Line of Sight (LOS) - Beyong Line Of Sight
(BLOS)- Over The Horizon (OTH)
• RPAS: Remotely Piloted Airplane Systems is the late
definition IOCA & Europe,
• UAS in USA
Rotary Wing RPAS
1,Film Industry
2,Small Farming
3,Surveilling
4,Police
Fixed Wing RPAS-Nasnas 320
Paraglider Wing Type- Paradrone Agri RPAS of TATI-2016
Alternative piloted drone
1. Tactical Multi Mission
2. -Multiapplications
6. Issues
1. Payload sensors prices are high,
2. prohibited
3. easy to import
4. high duties
Too expensive for many Agri UAV operators,
and for budgets of many farmers in Africa
All need grants & aid to overcome struggle
7. 200 commercial applications for UAVs including but not limited:
• My definition of precision agriculture is the scientific management of :
• Crops & plantations (Go not Go)
• Seeds,
• Soil,
• Fertilzers,
• Water & Floods
• Machinery
• Increase production friendly

9. The danger is already next door in Tunis and heading to the south , Libya
Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index NDVI
Detection of damages
caused by insects in cities
and in rural areas &
Future & Bacchus drones for Survey-Detection of NDVI caused by insects
10. No RPAS regulations in
Tunisia and in many Africain
countries means:
1. Anarchy and more risks
2. Do not be scared of
drones, nor from the
Designers use them 1st to
save your lives before
terrorists and hunger do,
3. Attend IOCA RPAS
Conference in Abuja,
Nigeria and learn from
the error
4. Follow exemple of FAA
regulations in USA, South
Africa
5. Implement Insurence
policies
6. DGAC ready for a new
legislation Agri &
11. -In 2050 the world demand of Agri products will be equivalent
to Agri products consumed during the whole history of human
kind with 2 billion extra population and increase of the
middle class and food consumtion(China, India, North America)
-Many countries in Africa including North Africa may face
hunger, civil wars, other Tunisian Spring scenarios may happen
due to higher food and water prices,
-Water shortage for irrigation, deterioration of farming lands,
anarchy in urbanism, climate change, environment
deterioration, lowest agri productivity, invasion of
Insects, soil and sea pollution, may send you again to
starvation
-Your unique solution: invest in Agridrones for precision
agriculture, mapping rural areas, monitoring of floods, create
water basins & dams
- A serious education with startegy planning, workshops,
transfer of technology from the developed countries, R&D,
keep your Scientists from brain drain, foreign
aid & cooperation of knowledge, urgent RPAS Regulations & all
agri industry players should be involved,
12. ATM, safety of air trafic management,
Brussels
RPAS Regulations
Conference,
June 2016
Permit to fly UAVs : Soviet Union type regulations in some european countries and in
all Africa, Except South Africa
Agri drones are permitted to fly
1. No attempt to privacy,
2. Fly under 400ft
3. during day light
4. Fly in private farms,
5. No people around
