XSun is the first company in the world to have designed a drone which is autonomous in terms of energy and decision-making: the SolarXOne. As the drone consumes less than its capacity to recharge itself, its applications are numerous across civil and military fields: land and sea surveillance, precision agriculture, humanitarian rescue missions.
