The Agriculture Detection Protection System (ADPS) is a cutting-edge solution in agricultural management, developed to enhance field monitoring and protection using advanced technologies. Originating from a project at the University of Arizona in 2016, the system integrates LIDAR, radar, cameras, and multifunctional drones for comprehensive surveillance and wildlife management. Set for beta testing in 2025, ADPS aims to revolutionize agricultural practices by offering a sophisticated approach to crop protection.
ADPS combines state-of-the-art technologies to provide detailed field surveillance and crop health analysis. It employs LIDAR for mapping, radar for movement detection, high-definition cameras for continuous monitoring, and sound systems for wildlife deterrence. The system's drones, equipped with GPS and dispensing mechanisms, can deploy treatments and deter wildlife humanely, while thermal imaging and pyrotechnics enhance monitoring capabilities under various conditions.
Advanced AI algorithms power ADPS, enabling it to detect wildlife threats and conduct thorough crop health diagnostics. These diagnostics identify early signs of disease and pest infestations, allowing timely interventions. A central processing unit coordinates the system's operations using real-time data, with a user-friendly interface for monitoring and setting adjustments. This ensures effective protection while maintaining ecological balance.
ADPS addresses wildlife-related crop losses by providing real-time monitoring and intervention capabilities. Its comprehensive approach to crop health analysis and targeted treatments improves productivity across fields. By reducing yield variance, ADPS enhances overall efficiency and sustainability in agriculture. Its implementation promises significant improvements in both high and low-yield areas affected by wildlife intrusion.
While primarily designed for agriculture, ADPS's technologies have broader applications. Its surveillance capabilities can be adapted for border security, effectively monitoring and preventing illegal crossings with non-invasive deterrents. This versatility highlights ADPS as an innovative contribution to agricultural technology with potential use in various fields requiring vigilant monitoring and responsive actions.
