LahakX offers its solution for purchase or as a spraying-as-a-service model, with US operations commencing in 2020. The company's technology is particularly relevant for climate tech, as it reduces pesticide use by up to 75%, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture.
Strategic signal
In February 2024, LahakX partnered with Aero Systems West (ASW), a US-based drone manufacturer, to scale its agricultural spraying capabilities. This collaboration, partially funded by the BIRD Foundation, allows LahakX to meet increasing customer demand by leveraging ASW for drone manufacturing while LahakX focuses on swarm planning and autopiloting. This strategic partnership signals a significant expansion of LahakX's operational capacity and market reach, enabling the deployment of large and small drones in coordinated swarm operations to cover more acreage efficiently.
