A computer-implemented method of performing an automated maintenance operation on a piece of equipment includes determining, using a processor system, a diagnostic status of the piece of equipment using a first unmanned vehicle, and determining, using the processor system, a maintenance condition of the piece of equipment. A maintenance operation and a safety operation to be performed are identified based on the diagnostic status of the piece of equipment. A second unmanned vehicle is dispatched, using the processor system, to perform the maintenance operation and a third unmanned vehicle is dispatched, using the processor system, to perform the safety operation.
