Abstract: This study explores the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology for monitoring high-voltage power lines. By integrating RPAS and LiDAR, the inspection process becomes more efficient, accurate, and safer compared to traditional methods. LiDAR's ability to capture detailed 3D data provides valuable insights into the condition of transmission line corridors, including vegetation encroachment and structural damage. The research highlights the potential of these technologies to reduce operational costs, improve data accuracy, and enhance the management of power grids, offering a sustainable solution for infrastructure monitoring in challenging environments
