Precision Weed Scouting — Cut Herbicide Costs 40–60% with Drones

I founded Citadel Drones because most "precision ag" tools feel anything but precise when you actually put them to work in the field. Too often, they overpromise, underdeliver, complicate workflows, or waste time with unreliable outputs.

My background includes hands on work with drones and field data, rigorous quality control and assurance processes, and inspecting civil engineering projects for FHWA, KDOT, and various city/county jobs. I have also worked in Research and Development at a specialized leader in advanced composites that has been quietly powering cutting edge aerospace programs for decades. This aerospace environment instilled a deep appreciation for precision engineering, repeatable processes, reliable data, and systems that perform under demanding conditions. Principles I now apply directly to agricultural drone services.

That is why Citadel Drones keeps things straightforward: we fly your field with RGB and multispectral technology to collect high quality imagery, process and analyze the data using proven AI pipelines, generate clear weed maps and actionable prescription maps, and deliver them ready to load directly into your sprayer controller. No fluff, no unnecessary steps just the clear view you need to target weeds effectively, cut herbicide use, and protect your bottom line.

Every part of our process draws from techniques I have personally researched, tested, and refined, backed by public university studies and real-world field trial data from Kansas and beyond. When you work with Citadel Drones, you are getting services built by someone who brings aerospace-level attention to detail and technical rigor to Kansas farming.
