Drone precision agriculture in Arras
Around Arras, the arable land of Hauts-de-France is ideal drone country: biomass maps, variable-rate nitrogen plans and emergence counts across blocks no farmer can walk in full. In Arras as across the department (62), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
The Arras economy blends administration, food processing (Ingredia), logistics on the Paris-Lille axis and growing remembrance tourism. Typical drone missions: heritage and tourism, real estate, logistics construction monitoring, agriculture on the great Artois plains, regulated event coverage.

€8–30 per hectare — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Every mission in Arras is priced on its own facts: area to cover, flight height, expected deliverable and local formalities.
Flying in Arras: the local framework
Some plots around Arras fall under controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Arras-Roclincourt (LFQD)): agricultural flights remain possible there at low height after a protocol, with no impact on map quality.
Agricultural flights use the open category over the farm's own plots, away from third parties; drone spraying remains under a strict experimental framework in France — we only provide imagery and diagnostics. Full regulations and rates: precision agriculture across France →

Frequently asked questions
Precision agriculture in Arras: what budget should you plan?
Allow €8–30 per hectare — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Arras, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
What does the drone see that I cannot from the edge of my field near Arras?
Multispectral imagery measures canopy reflectance: it reveals nitrogen or water stress one to two weeks before it becomes visible to the eye. On Hauts-de-France farms, that converts into prescription maps your equipment can use directly.
Can the drone spray my fields?
Yes, within a precise derogation framework since law 2025-365 and its spring 2026 implementing texts: plots with slopes of at least 20%, banana plantations and grapevine mother stock, only with biocontrol, organic-approved or low-risk products. Outside that framework, aerial spraying remains prohibited; we then provide the maps that optimise your conventional sprayer passes.
