Mission briefing
Livestock Cattle Counting sits in the parallel stage of the crop cycle. It runs on a m30t / m350 h20t carrying zoom 200x + rgb, and in Bihar the window is any weekly at a frequency of weekly. Expect roughly 500 head 15min per sortie, and stand the drone down outside the wind <10m/s, day envelope — flying past it wastes chemical and risks drift onto neighbouring plots. Readings are interpreted through NA, so the payload has to output those bands rather than plain RGB. 500 head 15min vs 3hr bike 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.
