The main objective of this research is to verify the applicability of remote sensing by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or popularly known as (drones) to aid in the safety of security in hydroelectric dams. It highlights the role and importance of technology as a means of innovation, for this application, as an exploratory study of the UHE Tucuruí. Some signs of deterioration or cracking, for example, can only be identified with visual inspections. For this reason, they are irreplaceable in dam safety control. In this context, the use of the UAV is very useful in these inspections, since its use makes this activity faster and safer, as it allows the verification of regions of the dam that are difficult to access, thus enabling full documentation of the dam's conservation status, in addition to the possibility of adapting sensors of different types and applicability, thus helping to provide more detailed information. The UAV, used for this research, satisfactory results for the evaluations to which it was exposed. Images with adequate quality and sequences were generated, so you can easily observe all the characteristics of the dam surface, thus providing a good support in the operation activities. In addition to supporting the dam safety assessment, the images generated can be gathered and used as a basis
for other photographic surveys.
