PARROT DISCO-PRO AG
THE DRONE-BASED END-TO-END SOLUTION FOR MAPPING
AND ANALYZING AGRICULTURAL CROPS
Agriculture was one of the first professional sectors to adopt drones and digital tools to help
streamline day-to-day operations, increase sustainable agriculture, and enhance crop yields.
Parrot has served the agriculture market since 2012 with dedicated drones, sensors, software and
services. Now, Parrot extends its agricultural portfolio with an end-to-end, multipurpose solution:
Parrot Disco-Pro AG.
The Parrot Disco-Pro AG is based on the Parrot Disco flying wing which has been customized for
professional use. The package includes the Parrot Sequoia multispectral imagery solution, the Parrot
Skycontroller 2 long range remote control, the Pix4Dcapture flight plan app and access to AIRINOV
FIRST + online mapping platform.
This complete offer includes one drone, one high-precision sensor, a flight planning app and a
solution for computing and analyzing collected data. Parrot provides farmers and small farmers’
cooperatives with access to precision agriculture with a flexible, reliable, affordable and easy to
use solution to help them in their decision making.
Parrot Disco-Pro: reliable, easy to use and high performance
The Parrot Disco-Pro AG is a customized version of the Parrot Disco, a delta wing shape equipped
with a powerful on-board computer.
The Parrot Disco-Pro AG is designed to accommodate the
Parrot Sequoia solution thanks to a reinforced fuselage. The
autopilot feature has been optimized for compatibility with
the Pix4Dcapture flight planning app, available on iOS and
Android smartphones and tablets.
 Pix4Dcapture, the flight planning app for autonomous and optimum mapping experience.
Pix4Dcapture is the world’s first planning app that supports a fixed wing drone,
and enables farmers and agronomist to define flight missions to map crops with
ease.
To create the flight plan, the farmer selects the plot to map directly on the
Pix4Dcapture free app. The Disco-Pro AG’s powerful autopilot manages the
entire flight, from take-off to landing, following the specified flight path. The
drone is launched by throwing it into the air like a Frisbee which activates
autopilot and ascends to the ideal altitude. Once stabilized at 120m, the Parrot Disco-Pro can
fly over and map up to 200 acres autonomously in only 30 minutes1 . Powerful, reliable and
lightweight (940 gr. including Parrot Sequoia), Parrot Disco-Pro completes safe and autonomous
flights2. The stability of the wing is managed by the onboard computer which continuously adapts
flight settings to prevent the drone from stalling.
During the mapping procedure, users will benefit from the live streaming footage, captured by
the Parrot Disco-Pro AG’s frontal camera and displayed via the Pix4Dcapture app screen on a
smartphone or tablet.

Manual observation flights
As a multipurpose wing, the Parrot Disco-Pro can also be piloted manually using Parrot
Skycontroller 2 Wi-Fi remote control providing a 2km range. Even in manual flight, the Parrot
Disco-Pro automatically adjusts flight settings to avoid stalling and provide a simple flying

experience. While flying over crops, a farmer can capture video footage of the farm with the
embedded FULL HD 14MP front camera. The aerial footage can be used to observe the general
state of the farm or to check something specific from the sky.
Parrot Sequoia, a miniaturized multispectral solution made for drones
Parrot Sequoia is a complete and accurate multispectral imagery solution for drones that captures
images of crops (14.3cm/pixel resolution) in both visible and invisible spectrums.
Hidden under the wing:
 A multispectral sensor with GPS that automatically records images of crops in four
distinct spectral bands: green (500nm Bandwidth 40nm), red (660nm Bandwidth
40nm), red-Edge (735nm Bandwidth 10nm) and near Infrared (790nm Bandwidth
40nm).
 A sensor equipped with a RGB camera (16 MP)
 A 64GB internal memory to store captured images
Above the wing, next to the battery:
A separate luminosity sensor (‘sunshine’ sensor) that records lighting conditions and
automatically calibrates collected data with the multispectral sensor data during the
computer processing phase.
AIRINOV FIRST +, the mapping and analyzing platform for multispectral images
Images taken by the Parrot Sequoia are uploaded via computer to the AIRINOV FIRST + online
platform for processing and analysis. In a few hours, the farmer receive a turnkey AIRINOV report
composed of orthomosaic maps (absolute and adjusted) and zoning (simple and detailed) that provide
at a glance, precise view of the biomass (density of vegetation) and relative health of the crops,
helping professionals determine which areas need specific
attention. Professionals can use these insights to inform
corrective actions and track the effects and evolution of the
farm with high precision.
Who is the Parrot Disco-Pro AG target?
Parrot Disco-Pro AG is a multi-purpose tool to help
agriculture and horticulture professionals make informed
decisions. Developed for small to medium sized farms and small agricultural cooperatives, Parrot
Disco-Pro AG is also ideal for forest-workers, golf course operators, municipal parks managers and
others.
