Ascent AeroSystems and AgEagle have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to integrate the AgEagle RedEdge-P multispectral camera with Ascent’s high-performance Spirit coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Under this MOU, the Ascent-AgEagle collaboration will further showcase the payload flexibility and future-proof nature of Ascent’s UAV platforms, while also demonstrating AgEagle’s ability to work with OEMs on modularity, compatibility, and custom interfaces, to solve mission-critical integration challenges in the agricultural UAV sector.

The RedEdge-P multispectral camera will be the first multispectral solution integrated with Ascent’s high-performance, all-weather coaxial UAV platforms.

Bill Irby, CEO of AgEagle, commented: “Providing high-quality, actionable data to the customer is at the core of what we do, and it’s why we are collaborating with Ascent AeroSystems. Combining our advanced camera sensor technology with the Spirit platform is a natural fit. Working with manufacturers like Ascent enables us to deliver a new dimension of precision and capability to the agriculture sector.”

Peter Fuchs, President of Ascent AeroSystems, noted: “The agricultural drone market is expanding, rapidly, and the need for reliable, high-performance, scalable UAS platforms is critical. By pairing the rugged, reliable, all-weather design of the Spirit with the precision and efficiency of AgEagle’s industry-leading RedEdge-P camera, we are paving the way for further innovation and future growth within the agricultural sector.”

The collaboration was announced at the Xponential 2025 trade show in Houston.
