Phillip spent plenty of time on research and travelled to Canada and the USA specifically to speak to the companies making the best UAV’s suitable for agricultural work. He wanted to see it all first hand, not only to learn what was out there in the market, but also, to discover how is was being utilised, and what best practice was in 2013. Speaking face to face with the leaders in the UAV survey arena was a vital part of developing his strategy.
Back in Melbourne, Phillip and his wife Rika, began the journey of connecting all the dots to put the newly formed Falcon UAV business together. Drawing on his marketing and small business background Phillip developed the company’s communication strategy and business plan. Then he jumped all the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) hoops, made a touch easier as he already had a pilot’s licence.
After his trip to the US and Canada Phillip settled on the AgEagle made in Kansas USA. Phillip said, “We chose the AgEagle, as it is totally focused on agriculture and is easily the most suitable UAV for this industry. The system has been designed to be very easy and simple to operate; robust and tough to handle the daily usage in agriculture and is an economical farm tool.”
