Prodrone Inc. is pleased to announce that Kirix Lease Co., Ltd., a core company of the Kirix Group, has acquired exclusive sales rights for the agricultural drone helicopter “Tasketto,” which it developed, and will begin sales on June 3, 2025. In addition, Prodrone has issued a third-party allotment of new shares to the Kirix Group.
“Tasketto” is an aircraft developed to optimize the agricultural environment in Japan, based on the industrial drone “Prodrone GT-M” developed by Prodrone for use in harsh situations such as disasters and defense. While battery-powered drones are the mainstream in the domestic drone market, issues such as the hassle of charging, battery deterioration, and rising costs of introducing chargers have become apparent. In response to these issues, “Tasketto” is powered by a gasoline engine, allowing for continuous work and allowing for quick resumption of work by refueling.
また、日本の農業では車両の移動が多く、積載スペースが限られていることを考慮し、一人で運べる軽量設計(機体重量7.5kg)と乗用車や軽トラックに積載できるコンパクトサイズ(プロペラ折りたたみ時全長1,570mm)を追求しました。そのため、複数の圃場を行き来する日本の農家にとって非常に便利。最大8リットルの農薬を搭載でき、8倍に希釈すれば1回の飛行で1ヘクタールに散布可能。
