Research abstract
The Air Force owns and operates thousands of Radar, Radio, Weather and Communication towers across the globe. Tower inspections are vital for a safe work environment and life cycle sustainment. Over time, corrosion and weather can deteriorate key structural elements of a communications tower to the point of catastrophic failure that can cause loss of life. Airmen risk their lives to complete these physical and stressful inspections.
