IEEE 1936.4-2025

This standard specifies maintenance procedures of the multi-rotor unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) used for power grid inspection.



New IEEE Standard - Active. 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.
