SEE THE RISK BEFORE IT BECOMES AN OUTAGE.
Use case: Energy Transmission
Intelligent Core combines long-range autonomous drones, multi-sensor data capture and AI-powered analysis to inspect more of a utility's transmission network, identify emerging asset risk earlier and rapidly verify faults.
The Challenge
Energy transmission operaters manage critical overhead transmission infrastructure across mountainous, forested and hard-to-access terrain, with high-voltage networks extending thousands of kilometers.
Lightning, snow, vegetation and aging equipment can create faults, while traditional patrols and tower-climbing inspections are labour-intensive andexpose crews to difficult terrain and working-at-height risk.

tHE Solution
IC's long-range hydrogen-powered drones provide an autonomous aerial inspection layer across transmission corridors. With up to 5hrs endurance, 160Kmh top speed, 100km+ range and up to 6kg payload, missions can capture high-resolution visual, thermal, LiDAR and specialist electrical-condition data. AI analysis can associate anomalies with individual towers, conductors and components, helping ISA Energia prioritise inspection, maintenance and rapid post-event response.
Monitor
Persistent Corridor Monitoring
Patrol transmission routes & capture changing asset, vegetation and environmental conditions.
Detect
Earlier Defect Detection
Identify corrosion, damaged insulators, thermal hotspots, conductor issues & clearance risk.
Verify
Rapid Autonomous Verification
Investigate alarms or post-storm events & return precise, high-resolution evidence.
Prioritise
Condition-Based Maintenance
Risk-rank findings by asset and location so crews can target the highest-priority interventions.
Why Intelligent Core
5+ Hours Airborne
Persistent inspection, not short flights
Extended endurance enables longer corridor patrols with fewer landings, battery swaps and crew relocations - particularly valuable across remote mountainous routes.

100km+ Range & 150km/h Top Speed
Built for long linear infrastructure
IC's range is designed for transmission corridors: cover more line from one operating location and rapidly reach remote assets following storms, alarms or suspected faults.
