Kestrel coordinates multi-drone missions across power lines, pipelines, bridges, and turbines. Computer vision detects faults. Compliance-ready reports generate automatically.
From mission briefing to regulatory sign-off — Kestrel handles the full inspection lifecycle without helicopter crews or manual rope access.
Upload GIS shapefiles or draw routes directly on the map. Kestrel calculates optimised flight paths, waypoint altitudes, and drone assignments — no licensed pilot required.
| Finding | Location | Severity | Conf. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spalling concrete | NW pier cap | CRITICAL | 97% |
| Surface corrosion | E expansion jt. | MODERATE | 91% |
| Efflorescence | S abutment face | LOW | 88% |
| Deck surface | All spans | OK | 99% |
Kestrel's detection models classify cracks, corrosion, thermal anomalies, and deformations with a 94% accuracy rate — catching defects that manual inspectors miss two cycles in a row.

Outcomes from asset integrity managers, bridge operations leads, and pipeline inspection directors using Kestrel.
"We cut annual transmission line inspection costs by 68%. Two weeks of helicopter time is now 36 hours with better image resolution and a report our regulator accepts without revision."
"The AI caught a Category 2 spalling issue on a pier cap our manual team had missed for two consecutive inspection cycles. That single finding justified the full year's contract."
"Our inspectors now complete six corridors daily without a licensed pilot on site. The BVLOS logging has been a game-changer for our FAA compliance documentation workflow."
Scale from a single facility to a continent-wide fleet. Pricing is tied to monitored asset corridors, not hardware owned.
