Point One Navigation and Airstrike Ag Partner to Deliver RTK Coverage Across Nationwide Drone Operations
Airstrike Ag selects Point One's fully owned corrections network for centimeter-accurate RTK corrections, giving its nationwide dealer network and customers a single, reliable source of RTK corrections.
San Francisco, CA — Aug 6, 2026 — Point One Navigation, the precision location platform for production autonomy and robotics at scale, today announced a partnership with Airstrike Ag, a leading spray drone dealer and distributor operating across North America. Under the partnership, Airstrike Ag will deploy Point One RTK corrections as the standard precision location service across its fleet and dealer network, replacing a patchwork of state DOT and third-party networks with a single, managed source of centimeter-level accuracy.
Spray drones represent one of the most demanding RTK use cases in agriculture: machines flying at up to 45 mph, executing automated flight plans in real time, geofencing crop boundaries to the centimeter, and avoiding field obstacles, all over 4G LTE connectivity on a wide range of hardware from different manufacturers. These difficult operating environments mean that positional accuracy is imperative. It determines whether a machine stays within its mapped boundaries or causes a systematic failure (crash).
"The spray drone is the canary in the coal mine for agricultural robotics," said Nathan Stein, founder of Airstrike Ag. "Everything that's coming in agrobotics, full machine automation, precise geofencing, real-time obstacle avoidance, the industry is already doing it. And it only works if the RTK foundation underneath it is solid. We needed one network that just works, everywhere, for everyone."
For Airstrike Ag, the decision came down to support complexity. Managing corrections access across dozens of state DOT networks, each with different base station vendors, authentication protocols, and compatibility quirks, created a compounding support burden. Foreign SIM cards were blocked from state networks. Mismatched datums introduced coordinate offsets that could put a drone within feet of a power line. Every new state was a new troubleshooting exercise.
Point One's network eliminates that surface area. With uniform station spacing under 40 km across the U.S. and 99.9% uptime, a single NTRIP connection provides any Airstrike Ag customer, on any hardware, with centimeter-level corrections without the configuration overhead.
"Agriculture customers are building real businesses on these drones," said Aaron Nathan, CEO of Point One Navigation. "When the RTK foundation is fragmented, the support burden falls on the dealer, and that's time not spent growing the business. A unified network changes that equation."
Airstrike Ag also plans to host Point One base stations at its farm properties, extending coverage in areas where network density is still building, a configuration that reinforces the network's expansion across the U.S.
The partnership includes access to Point One RTK corrections for Airstrike Ag's active fleet across the US, with API integration planned to support automated subscription provisioning and fleet management at scale.
