XAG, an agritech company, has introduced its P150 Max Agricultural Drone to the US market, positioning the platform for large scale crop operations that require speed, consistency, and operational flexibility. The launch was announced at this year’s Spray Drone End User Conference, where the company outlined how the new system is designed to help farmers complete time-sensitive fieldwork with fewer personnel and fewer interruptions.
Built for high efficiency deployment under demanding schedules, the P150 Max is engineered to consolidate multiple field tasks into a single autonomous aircraft. The platform supports spraying, granular spreading, field mapping, and on-farm logistics through modular task systems that can be swapped in minutes, allowing operators to move quickly between workflows without changing equipment.
Performance Anchored in Global Field Use
The XAG P150 Max carries a maximum payload of 176 pounds (80 kg) and reaches flight speeds of up to 44.7 mph (20 m/s), enabling faster coverage with fewer refill cycles. Under typical operating conditions, average spraying productivity ranges from 50 to 60 acres per hour, with peak output reported at 70 to 80 acres per hour. The system also supports swarm control, allowing one operator to manage two drones simultaneously when higher throughput is required.
The aircraft is part of XAG’s P Series, which has accumulated more than 9.3 million flight hours worldwide since 2022. The XAG P150 Max has been field-tested across New Zealand, Bulgaria, South Africa, and Australia, environments characterized by hilly terrain, irregular field boundaries, and diverse crop structures. These conditions mirror many of the operational challenges found in US regions such as Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas, informing a design tuned for both flat and complex landscapes.
Application Systems Designed to Reduce Manual Load
For liquid applications, the P150 Max integrates the RevoSpray 5 system with a 21.1-gallon smart tank and dual centrifugal nozzles delivering up to 8.45 gallons per minute. An optional four-nozzle configuration increases maximum flow to 12.15 gallons per minute for orchards and other dense canopy crops. Droplet sizes are adjustable from 60 to 500 microns, enabling operators to align spray characteristics with specific crop protection products and coverage requirements.
In spreading mode, the RevoCast 5 system supports fertilizer application, cover crop seeding, and biological treatments, dispensing up to 661 pounds (300 kg) per minute. Its vertical broadcast mechanism is designed to limit wind drift while maintaining consistent distribution across wide or irregular field areas.
Navigation and autonomy are managed by the SuperX 5 Ultra Intelligent Control System, which delivers centimeter-level positioning using RTK. Integrated 4D imaging radar detects obstacles such as center pivots, power poles, and overhead lines during flight planning and execution. The onboard RealTerra Field Mapping System can survey up to 49.4 acres per flight, with embedded AI identifying field boundaries and obstacles before generating autonomous routes adapted to terrain conditions.
Missions can be created and monitored through the XAG One App on a smartphone or via the SRC 5 Remote Controller. For locations with limited or no network coverage, RTK positioning is supported by the XRTK 7 Mobile Station, enabling continued precision operations in remote fields.

Power Management for Extended Field Operations
To support long working days, the P150 Max is paired with the Smart SuperCharge Battery system. Using two chargers in parallel alongside a mist-cooling tower, batteries can be recharged in as little as seven minutes, reducing idle time during peak application periods and helping crews maintain momentum across large acreages.
US Availability and Deployment
The XAG P150 Max draws on years of operational data collected across varied crops, climates, and terrain, shaping a platform built for durability and adaptability. The drone has received FCC approval and is now available for purchase through XAG’s authorized dealer network in the United States, which will provide local training, service, and parts support. Deliveries are expected to begin shortly.
Positioned for labor constrained crop operations, the P150 Max enters the US market as a high capacity autonomous aircraft designed to improve efficiency across spraying, material spreading, and aerial mapping. With its modular architecture, rapid task switching, precision navigation, and fast charging ecosystem, XAG’s latest agricultural drone aims to help producers maintain operational continuity during critical windows of the growing season.
