What Is the Newest DJI Agras Drone?
Updated September 11, 2026.
The DJI Agras T100S is the flagship model of DJI Agriculture’s newest product generation. DJI introduced the T100S alongside the T70S and T55 in China in November 2025, creating a new generation above the earlier T100/T70P/T25P family in product chronology.
There is an important nuance: “newest” can mean newest product generation, newest flagship, or most recently launched globally. The T100S is the newest flagship-generation Agras aircraft, while DJI globally launched the T55 and T100 Dual Battery Spraying System in July 2026. T55 was not invented later—it had already been introduced alongside T100S—but it received its international launch later.
If you are asking “What is DJI Agriculture’s newest flagship drone?”, the answer is the DJI Agras T100S. It is the top model in the newer T100S/T70S/T55 generation, with an 85 L spray system, 126 L spreader, 95 kg lifting capability, 149.9 kg maximum-takeoff class, 256-line LiDAR and upgraded radar/vision. It launched first in China and has not yet received an official U.S. launch as of September 11, 2026.

DJI Agras Generations: Where T100S Fits
| Generation / model | Role | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| T40 / T20P era | Modern 40 L flagship architecture | Dual atomization, phased-array radar, larger spread systems |
| T50 / T25 | Refined 40 L + compact 20 L generation | Improved radar/vision, flight efficiency and portability |
| T100 / T70P / T25P | Higher-capacity global generation | 100 L-class flagship, large lifting capability and advanced Safety System 3.0 |
| T100S / T70S / T55 | Newest generation | Higher flow, new LiDAR/radar architecture, improved mapping, cooling and multi-role automation |
When Was the DJI T100S Announced?
DJI unveiled the T100S generation in China on November 18, 2025. It was not a minor T100 refresh. The launch focused on high-volume spraying, high-throughput spreading, agricultural cargo transport and more advanced perception of obstacles such as power lines.
The new family included:
- DJI Agras T100S — flagship high-payload platform,
- DJI Agras T70S — lower-payload sibling inheriting T100S design concepts,
- DJI Agras T55 — lighter new-generation platform that later received a global launch.
What Makes the T100S “New” Beyond the Name?
The T100S generation introduces several changes that go beyond simply increasing capacity.
1. Higher standard spray flow
The T100S is promoted at 40 L/min with its standard dual-nozzle setup and up to 50 L/min with the optional high-flow orchard/mist configuration. That is unusually high for an agricultural drone and directly targets high-volume crops and dense canopy work.
2. 256-line LiDAR
DJI moved to a new 256-line LiDAR architecture, with a claimed 153% increase in point-cloud density versus the referenced previous generation. This gives the aircraft a denser 3D representation of terrain and obstacles.
3. Upgraded millimeter-wave radar
DJI also increased radar transmitting/receiving antenna elements by roughly 130% in the referenced comparison and highlights better fine-obstacle detection, especially around wires.
4. Smarter mapping
The T100S can use trajectory recording to turn a reconnaissance flight into field boundaries, obstacle records and 3D maps. Orchard routes can incorporate power lines and detected hazards with less manual waypoint editing.
5. Battery thermal management
The new battery design uses an air-duct/cooling approach intended to dissipate heat during flight, then pairs with ground cooling and high-power charging to support two-battery rotation.
6. More capable lifting automation
The 95 kg lifting system adds automatic route planning, trajectory replay, load weighing, anti-sway control and emergency escape/release behavior.
Newest Does Not Mean Largest in Every Specification
This is the most important correction for T100S SEO. DJI’s current global T100 specification page publishes 100 L spraying, 150 L spreading, 100 kg lift and maximum takeoff weights up to 175–177 kg in many markets. Those figures exceed the T100S launch configuration’s 85 L, 126 L, 95 kg and 149.9 kg class.
Therefore:
- T100S is newer.
- T100S is the newer flagship generation.
- T100S is not automatically larger than global T100 in every payload or MTOW metric.
Newest vs Most Recently Available Worldwide
The T55 received a global-launch announcement in July 2026, months after it had already been introduced with the T100S family. That can make search results confusing.
A useful distinction is:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newest flagship Agras generation? | T100S |
| Other models in the same newest generation? | T70S and T55 |
| Model with a recent global launch in 2026? | T55 plus T100 Dual Battery Spraying System |
| Newest model officially launched in U.S.? | Depends on regional DJI Agriculture availability; T100S is not officially U.S.-launched as of this update. |

Who Is the Newest T100S Built For?
The T100S makes the strongest sense for operators whose existing drone is constrained by:
- high liquid application rates,
- too many refill cycles,
- large fertilizer loads,
- dense orchards,
- wire-heavy routes,
- mountain logistics,
- battery thermal turnaround,
- need for one aircraft to spray, spread and transport cargo.
Is the Newest Agras Available in the USA?
Not officially as of September 11, 2026. Imported units may be advertised, but DJI has not established the same official U.S.-market T100S launch that it has for established regional products.

Will the Newest T100S Launch Internationally?
DJI Agriculture operates across more than 100 countries and has repeatedly expanded flagship Agras aircraft after initial China launches. International expansion is therefore a reasonable expectation, but there is not one universal T100S global date that Ares Acres can verify as of this update.

FAQ: Newest DJI Agras Drone
What is the newest DJI Agras drone?
The T100S is the flagship of DJI Agriculture’s newest T100S/T70S/T55 generation.
When did the T100S launch?
It was unveiled in China in November 2025.
Is T55 newer than T100S?
No in product-generation terms. T55 was introduced alongside T100S, though its global release announcement came later in July 2026.
Is T100S newer than T100?
Yes.
Is T100S bigger than T100?
Not in every metric. Current global T100 specifications exceed T100S launch figures in spray tank, spreader, lift and maximum takeoff weight.
Why is it called T100S?
DJI has not reduced the “S” to a single public engineering definition; it denotes the newer-generation model rather than simply a larger tank.
Does T100S have LiDAR?
Yes, a new 256-line system.
Is T100S in the USA?
Not as an official DJI Agriculture U.S. launch as of this update.
What other new Agras models launched with it?
T70S and T55.
Should I wait for T100S instead of buying T100?
Only if T100S-specific sensing, high flow or automation solves a real bottleneck. The current T100 has larger published payload capacity and more mature international support.

Final Takeaway
The DJI Agras T100S is the newest flagship-generation Agras drone. Its significance is not that every capacity number is larger than every earlier model; it is that DJI combined very high spray flow and multi-role payload with a new sensing, mapping and thermal-management architecture. For SEO and buying decisions, that distinction is more accurate—and more useful—than simply calling it “the biggest new drone.”
Product-status notice: “Newest” in this guide refers to DJI Agriculture’s latest introduced flagship generation as of September 11, 2026. Global sales availability varies by country and region.
