By using sUAS & maintenance optimization strategies, utilities can budget condition-based repairs and prioritize maintenance on distinct identified

structures, vs percentage of grid, resulting in more ‘critical repairs’ completed per year, which meet traditional maintenance minimums.

Helicopters In Transmission Inspection• Helicopters will always have a place in

transmission construction and repair• Transmission inspection services will be

predominantly replaced with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

• Safer• Higher resolution• Repeatable• Autonomous • Ever increasing variety of sensor technologies

• UAS use limited by inspection distance and cost

Beyond Visual Line of Sight Inspections

Current FAA Part 107 require an elusive waiver to fly beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the pilot

FAA is starting to support more test cases proving the safety of flying safely BVLOS

There are many approaches to safely flying BVLOS (radar, ADS-B, remote ATC). We have been testing the Visual Flight Rule (VFR) approach

In comparison to overall costs, the economics of helicopters to UAS starts to tip in the favor of UAS at 10 mile inspection flights

BVLOS adoption will be process of sensor technology, flight technology and regulatory process

Process to Successful UAS Program Development

Needs• Identify data users• Optimize data collection efforts to meet the needs of most users

Quality• Precision, Accuracy, Reliability, Repeatability and Data Security• Data Quality Objectives (DQOs)

Sensors• Select sensors to best meet DQOs• Understand optimal flying conditions for sensor (altitude, spacing, speed, etc.)

Craft• Initial screening of UAS craft to carry sensors for expected mission length• Final selection based on environmental conditions (weather, portability)

Product• Field check procedures for validating data collection• Processing of data for specific for users (.las, DEM, .dwg)

Workflow• Document workflow from flight operations to data storage• Encourage user feedback for continuous workflow improvement
