Revolutionising UK Agriculture with Drone Spraying and Spreading
Before AutoSpray Systems Ltd entered the market, the number of agricultural spray and spreading drone operations in the UK was exactly ZERO per year. Farmers, foresters, and land managers had limited options when it came to efficient, targeted, and environmentally conscious crop protection and land management.
AutoSpray Systems has completely transformed the landscape of aerial applications. As the UK’s leader in Unmanned Aircraft (Drone) Aerial Applications and the exclusive importer of XAG platforms for the UK and EU, we’ve brought cutting-edge technology and precision agriculture to every corner of the country.
Today, our network of skilled operators, resellers, and distributors covers the entire UK, achieving impressive annual coverage that keeps growing year after year.
We didn’t just introduce drone spraying — we set the standard. And we’re just getting started.

Global leading application technology
🚁 The XAG P100 PRO Is the Commercial Benchmark: With unmatched lift capacity, terrain-tracking autonomy, and ultra-precise application tech, the P100 PRO is not just a drone, it’s a scalable business tool. It enables operators to deliver efficient, high-margin services across spraying, spreading, and seeding.
📊 Backed by UK-Validated Drift Data: AutoSpray has developed the UK’s only real-world drift data for drone-based pesticide delivery, providing the regulatory key to unlocking pesticide approvals. This means operators can offer fully legal, in-demand spray services where others can’t.
💼 A Proven Business Model, Not Just a Technology: AutoSpray leads the UK in commercial drone agriculture. We've already built revenue-generating markets in arable spraying, forestry regeneration, and cover crop seeding — proving that profitable agri-drone businesses are already happening.
✅ CAA Authorised to Tackle the UK’s Toughest Challenges: AutoSpray holds a UK CAA Operational Authorisation for drones over 25kg enabling legal, commercial operations even in complex rural airspace and under strict pesticide rules. We’re not standing still: we’ve developed procedures to operate as close as 15 metres from uninvolved people, and we continue to push regulatory and technical boundaries to expand what’s possible for drone businesses in UK agriculture.

UK Leading Pesticide approvals
✔ Pioneering Regulatory Standards for Drone Spraying - We've led the development of standardised data protocols and field trial methodologies to support PPP (Plant Protection Product) approvals specific to aerial drone applications, laying the foundation for regulatory acceptance in the UK.
✔ Collaborating with Industry Leaders in Crop Protection - By working closely with pesticide manufacturers, formulators, and distributors, we’ve ensured that aerial application methods align with product chemistry, efficacy data, and label requirements—driving market-ready solutions.
✔ Establishing Risk-Based Frameworks with Regulators - We've engaged extensively with HSE Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD), the CAA, and DEFRA to create fit-for-purpose data on droplet drift, dose consistency, and environmental impact, enabling evidence-based policy and risk assessments.
