A system for housing a drone for inspecting a section of electrical grid includes a nest connected to a power supply and positioned on a powerline structure. The nest can be configured to house a drone; charge the drone while the drone is housed; and receive an alert from a server, the alert indicating a geolocation of a detected radio frequency (RF) event. The system can also include a drone. The drone can include at least one RF sensor and can be configured to, in response to the alert being received by the nest, autonomously travel to the geolocation; perform RF measurements via the at least one RF sensor at the geolocation; upload the RF measurements to the server; and return to the nest.
