Abstract: The potential of the space agency in Nigeria and aerial surveillance for constantly monitoring agricultural activities using satellites and other remote sensing technologies in precision agriculture for optimized production of food was highlighted. With technology, agriculture is fast translating to a more and more information-based industry in the reaction to economic and environmental considerations to help meet the requirements for the observational data obtained with the use of the aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and balloons for farm management. In Nigeria, the huge problem of misuse of agrochemicals and the associated stress can be averted by the adoption of the techniques of remote sensing processes through Airboard, the world’s most powerful drone. It is designed for precision agriculture. Airboard is majorly concerned with two simple technologies: Geographical Information System (GIS) and Geographical Positioning System (GPS) technology utilising different kinds of sensors, displays, and controllers during operation. Comparison of the specifics of Airboard Agro with that of similar innovation was done. Airboard possesses Industrial-grade reliability, has custom controller design, in-house battery and partners with leading European Agriculture University. Among the benefits of Airboard Agro is an expansion of farming business with larger acre coverage, customisable capacity, spray nozzles and pressure for different crops. Airboard Agro is also found to save money on labour and transportation costs compared to multiple smaller drones. It has free employee drone training and after-sales support. It is environmentally friendly and partnered with experienced industrial technical staff with 10 years of drone manufacturing expertise.
