“# Built to live on the grid. Purpose-built autonomous drones that land on power lines, recharge wirelessly, and execute multi-sensor missions indefinitely. Hardware ## Precision-engineered for power lines. We built the Nomad from the ground up for the harshest utility environments. At just 3.8kg, it is light enough for rapid, single-pilot deployments, but rugged enough to withstand severe weather, winter storms, and heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI). Once it physically locks onto the conductor, it securely grips the line, becomes resistant to high winds, and operates reliably in ambient temperatures between -25°C and 50°C”
