Linebird launches the Osprey nonconductive payload system
Linebird launched Osprey NPS for direct-contact measurements on energized transmission infrastructure using unmanned aircraft.
Evidence notes
- Osprey combines SensorLink Ohmstik resistance measurement technology with a nonconductive aerial payload.
- The system targets conductor splices and dead-end connectors without exposing crews to direct live-line work.
- Linebird made the system available for immediate ordering after validating the underlying method on live 115 kV infrastructure.
Company context
Linebird develops nonconductive drone payloads that let aerial robots make physical contact with live electrical infrastructure. Its Osprey system supports line testing, maintenance tools and utility workflows without placing crews next to energised conductors.
