DMR Technologies partners with Air Heca, the drone arm of Heca Global, to distribute the Field Ranger X50 agricultural spray drone across South America.

American Drone Manufacturer Enters South American Market Through Heca Global's Multi-Country Distribution Network
LAFAYETTE, LA — June 2026 — DMR Technologies, Inc., an American manufacturer of commercial unmanned aerial systems, today announced a distribution partnership with Air Heca, the drone division of Heca Global, to distribute the Field Ranger X50 Agricultural Spray Drone across South America. The agreement gives DMR Technologies an immediate commercial footprint spanning 17 countries through one of the region's most established precision technology distribution networks.
Air Heca, operating under the Heca Global umbrella, maintains offices and operations across Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad & Tobago. The company specializes in industrial and precision UAV solutions for demanding agricultural, inspection, and technical environments — making it a natural fit for the Field Ranger X50 and the growers it serves.
South America represents one of the most consequential agricultural markets in the world, with millions of acres of specialty crops including sugarcane, soybeans, coffee, citrus, bananas, grapes, and avocados across its producing regions. Many of these crops present terrain, density, and application timing challenges that make conventional aerial and ground application methods costly, imprecise, or operationally impractical. The Field Ranger X50 is purpose-built for exactly these conditions.
This partnership puts the X50 in front of the operators who need it most. South American specialty crop growers are sophisticated, yield-focused, and increasingly open to precision technology that delivers a measurable return. Air Heca has the market presence, the technical credibility, and the operator relationships to make this partnership immediately productive.

DMR Technologies debuts at XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit May 11–14 with the global premiere of the Monty personal eVTOL and the full DMR fleet at Booth #40023.

DMR Technologies partners with Sunshine Quality Solutions to bring the American-built Field Ranger X50 agricultural drone to Louisiana growers via John Deere dealers.

The Field Ranger X50 features a 50-liter tank capacity, autonomous flight path planning, terrain-following radar, and centimeter-level GPS precision — capabilities that translate directly to more consistent coverage, reduced chemical usage, and measurable yield improvement across specialty crop applications. The platform is manufactured in the United States and is fully NDAA-compliant, providing operators and institutional buyers with supply chain confidence that foreign-manufactured alternatives cannot offer.
We are proud to bring DMR Technologies' Field Ranger X50 to our network of operators across the region. The precision agriculture segment is growing rapidly throughout South America, and our clients are actively seeking reliable, high-performance platforms backed by a serious manufacturer. The X50 meets that standard. At Heca, our 17-year track record in the market should enable access to direct financing, leasing or renting options to independent drone operators or farm producers which we expect will rapidly expand the usage of drone technology in the region. We also have strong experience in full extended warranty programs, which minimizes downtime and expands the life cycle of our units. This is a critical factor in the decision for independent drone operators. In the end, the U.S. made quality goes beyond the hardware and software, focusing just as much on service and reliability.
— Rodrigo Ibanhez, CEO of Air Heca
The partnership comes at a pivotal moment for agricultural drone adoption in South America, where growers are under increasing pressure to improve input efficiency and reduce environmental impact. DMR Technologies and Air Heca intend to support the rollout with regional operator training, agronomic application guidance, and ongoing technical support through Air Heca's established country offices.
