Electric utility companies are adopting drones as a very efficient and safe alternative to traditional electric utility inspection work. In many cases, this means costs savings by eliminating the need to deploy highly-skilled linemen and expensive equipment onsite.
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) and larger long endurance drones are being equipped with High Definition, UV (corona) and forward looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging video sensors and high-resolution still frame cameras. These sensor capabilities offer exceptional utility line, structure, substation and other facility inspection data from affordable and portable UAS platforms.
