The long-range Sentera PHX fixed-wing platform is hot-swappable and accepts several different sensor types for capturing more data and gaining deeper agronomic insights.

Unmatched capacity, reliability, sensor versatility and value.

The Sentera PHX platform is based on a highly-reliable, easy-to-use, hand-launchable fixed-wing drone that lets you see live HD video while simultaneously capturing a wide array of analytic data, including stand count, weed detection and plant health. It features the newest configurations of the Sentera Double 4K sensor payload. With a cruising speed of 35mph and nearly an hour of flight time, the PHX is capable of covering broad areas that other drones of the same size cannot.

Leveraging a new long-range omnidirectional communication link, the PHX drone has a reach of more than two miles, letting you quickly scout large fields with precision. Ideal for experienced pilots, the PHX is the best-performing and best-valued professional fixed-wing drone available today. The PHX delivers the field analytics and insights you need to run your business more efficiently.

Deep Analytics—purpose-build payload options allow you to perform stand count, weed detection and plant health analytics. PHX is the only fixed-wing drone that maps stand counts and weed locations early in the growing season when action matters. Analytics from Sentera FieldAgent® data analytics software generates accurate maps for making decisions at field-edge without an internet connection.

Long-Range Endurance—by using an omnidirectional, industrial-grade communications link, the PHX is designed to fly up to two miles away or more. This range is helpful for users with BVLOS (Beyond Visible Line of Sight) permissions and supports all users who stay within the typical one-mile VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) range.

Fast Setup—lightweight, plug-and-play communication box and streamlined pre-flight checklist lets you go from setup to launch quickly and easily.

Multiple Payload Options—2022 PHX accepts the newest versions of Sentera Double 4K sensors. Ultra-precise RTK GPS option available.

CASA Know Your Drone

Rules for recreational drone operators

  • You must not fly your drone higher than 120 metres (400 feet) above ground level.
  • You must keep your drone at least 30 metres away from other people.
  • You must only fly one drone at a time.
  • You must keep your drone within visual line-of-sight. This means always being able to see the drone with your own eyes (rather than through a device, screen or goggles).
  • You must not fly over or above people or in a populous area. This could include beaches, parks, events, or sport ovals where there is a game in progress.
  • Respect personal privacy. Don’t record or photograph people without their consent — this may breach other laws.
  • If your drone weighs more than 250 grams, you must fly at least 5.5 kilometres away from a controlled airport, which generally have a control tower at them.
  • Remember, you must not operate your drone in a way that creates a hazard to another aircraft, person or property.
  • You must only fly during the day and you must not fly through cloud or fog.
  • You must not fly your drone over or near an area affecting public safety or where emergency operations are underway. This could include situations such as a car crash, police operations, a fire or firefighting efforts or search and rescue.
  • If you're near a helicopter landing site or smaller aerodrome without a control tower, you can fly your drone within 5.5 kilometres. If you become aware of manned aircraft nearby, you will have to manoeuvre away and land your drone as quickly and safely as possible.
  • If you intend to fly your drone for or at work (commercially), there are extra rules you must follow. You will need a remote pilot licence (RePL) or fly in the excluded category (sub-2 kilogram or private landholder).
