The UAV carries the SIEAERO high-end
multi-sensor system which was speci-
fically developed to meet the complex
requirements of overhead line inspec-
tions. Since all necessary sensors and
cameras are combined in one multi-
sensor system, all relevant inspection
data is recorded in one go: 3D laser
data, ultra-high definition color ima-
ges, infrared images and corona
images.
