Every FarmDefender system includes a forward-angled LiDAR sensor mounted near the spray boom. Even without active control, this sensor constantly measures the distance to the ground or crop canopy just ahead of the nozzles. That real-time height data is used to correct for pitch and roll of the boom during spraying — ensuring that camera-based weed detection stays accurate, even when terrain isn’t perfectly flat. Boom awareness isn’t an add-on — it’s a core part of how FarmDefender delivers reliable results.
BoomGuard turns passive sensing into active boom management. By adding our purpose-built control valve and PWM module, FarmDefender automatically adjusts boom height based on real-time LiDAR readings. This is especially useful in uneven fields or tall crops where terrain changes frequently. With BoomGuard enabled, operators can spray lon
BoomGuard turns passive sensing into active boom management. By adding our purpose-built control valve and PWM module, FarmDefender automatically adjusts boom height based on real-time LiDAR readings. This is especially useful in uneven fields or tall crops where terrain changes frequently. With BoomGuard enabled, operators can spray longer with less stress and better coverage — no more manual adjustments or guessing if the boom is dragging in the ditch or floating too high.
Because every FarmDefender already includes the required LiDAR hardware and central control hub, upgrading to BoomGuard is as simple as installing a valve and plugging into our controller. There’s no rework, no sensor duplication, and no need for expensive proprietary modules. It’s built on open standards and designed for durability in r
Because every FarmDefender already includes the required LiDAR hardware and central control hub, upgrading to BoomGuard is as simple as installing a valve and plugging into our controller. There’s no rework, no sensor duplication, and no need for expensive proprietary modules. It’s built on open standards and designed for durability in real-world spraying conditions. Whether you upgrade at purchase or down the road, BoomGuard fits cleanly into the FarmDefender ecosystem.
