Stubble Burning Monitoring Government
Government compliance monitoring
Mission briefing
Stubble Burning Monitoring Government sits in the post-harvest stage of the crop cycle. It runs on a m30t carrying rgb + thermal, and in Bihar the window is apr-may wheat, nov rice at a frequency of 1x. Expect roughly 150ha/hr per sortie, and stand the drone down outside the any envelope — flying past it wastes chemical and risks drift onto neighbouring plots. Readings are interpreted through Thermal hotspot, so the payload has to output those bands rather than plain RGB. Government compliance monitoring On a easy-difficulty mission like this, the cost driver is not the drone — it is the number of return trips and the pilot hours around them, which is what the payback maths on the economics page turns on.
