Summary
VeraSys secured more than A$2.2 million in federal funding to commercialize CropSight, an AI-powered aerial weed management system for Australian farmers. The project combines the company’s Brolga drone platform, sensors, image analysis, and reporting tools to help growers identify weed pressure and make better decisions. VeraSys plans to use the grant to scale manufacturing, engage pilot customers, improve productivity, reduce herbicide use, and support exports. The company is now looking for farmers and landholders to join field testing and pilot flights, which creates a near-term opportunity to validate the product in real farm conditions.
