Systems and methods for the automated aerial application of chemicals onto agricultural areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are configured to selectively attach to modular sprayer payloads, each payload having a payload reservoir, a spray nozzle, a pump, and a battery. A ground station having landing pads for the UAVs is configured to coordinate and automatically fill at least one payload reservoir from a material tank and provide the payload to a given UAV. A control subsystem can determine a mission plan and command the UAV to selectively deliver the contents of the payload reservoir to at least a portion of one or more agricultural areas.
