Power Line Inspection 

Optimize Your Power Line Inspection Capabilities with Cutting Edge Technology. 


At Airborne Dynamic Systems, we offer advanced solution for power line inspections.  Our specialized aircraft are designed to ensure the highest levels of safety, efficiency, and precision in detecting failures and maintain infrastructure integrity.

A New Perspective to Detect Failure 

High Resolution

Equipped with high-resolution standard zoom sensors, our aircraft capture detailed visual imagery for through inspection.  These sensors enable precise documentation and analysis of power line conditions, allowing for accurate assessment and reporting. The clarity provided by these high-resolution images ensure that even the smallest defects are identified and address promptly.

Thermal Sensor

Our thermal sensors are designed to detect overheating components and potential failure points that are invisible to the naked eye. By identifying hot spots and insulation breakdown early, our thermal imaging technology help prevent future outages and damage.  This proactive maintenance approach ensures that issues are addressed before they escalate, improving the overall reliability and safety of power line infrastructure. 

Corona Discharges

Our ultraviolet sensors play a critical role in identifying corona discharges and other electrical anomalies that may be visible through other means.  By detecting these early warning signs of electrical faults, our UV sensors help prevent major failures and enhance the safety and reliability of power line operations.  This advance detection capacities is essential for maintain the integrity of electrical infrastructure.

Mapping and Modeling

  • Generate precise 3D models of substations for comprehensive monitoring and analysis.  
  • Use thermal imaging to inspect the entire substation infrastructure, ensuring all components are within safe operating temperatures.
  • Produce detailed maps of power line routes and surrounding areas. 
  • Improve planning an maintenance scheduling with accurate geographical data.
