IEEE Standard for Technical Requirements for the Maintenance of Multi-rotor Unmanned Aircraft Systems Used for Power Grid Inspection

In the field of power inspection, multi-rotor unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are widely used. Long-term high-voltage electromagnetic field environments and complex climatic conditions are faced by highly integrated and precise power inspection drones. If not properly maintained, devices in the multi-rotor UAS may malfunction during the operation. The long-term safe and stable operation of power inspection drones can be aided by proper maintenance of the multi-rotor UAS. At present, there is no unified specification for maintenance personnel and no technical requirements for troubleshooting and fault diagnosis of multi-rotor UAS software and hardware. In this context, the formulation of this standard helps to standardize the maintenance procedures of multi-rotor UAS to support the reliability and safety of multi-rotor UAS operation.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
