WISPR SkyScout 2 with Herelink Black Controller: Blue UAS Approved Quadcopter for Enterprise Aerial Data Programs

The WISPR SkyScout 2 is a domestically produced, foldable quadcopter platform built for enterprise UAS programs that require verifiable positioning accuracy, flexible payload integration, and fleet-ready compliance. Powered by a Cube Orange+ flight controller running custom WISPR firmware, it supports both RTK and PPK geotagging workflows, carries up to 3.85 lbs. of sensor payload, and operates across a temperature range of -4°F to 122°F, covering the full spectrum of conditions encountered across inspection, mapping, and public safety deployments.

Paired with the Herelink Black controller, this bundle delivers a compact and proven ground control unit purpose-built for professional drone operations. The Herelink Black features a 5.5-inch LCD screen at 1000 nits brightness, transmits 1080p video at 30fps over 2.4GHz LTE at up to 12 miles, and secures all data links with AES128 encryption and dual antennas. For program managers building out compliant, scalable drone fleets, the SkyScout 2 with Herelink Black represents a purpose-built, NDAA Section 848 approved system ready for immediate operational deployment.

A Compliant Platform Built for Program Scale

Enterprise UAS programs live or die on three variables: data accuracy, operational continuity, and procurement compliance. The SkyScout 2 addresses all three within a single, carry-on portable airframe. Its Ublox ZED-F9P GNSS receiver tracks L1, L2, and E5 bands across GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou constellations, delivering the positioning foundation that survey-grade workflows demand. The SmartCore power distribution system manages both batteries in parallel with redundant protection and real-time health monitoring, while the Battery Management System issues predictive alerts before degradation affects mission output. For fleet integrators evaluating platforms against federal procurement requirements, the SkyScout 2 carries both Blue UAS approval and full NDAA Section 848 compliance, fully sourced from approved vendors with no restricted foreign technology in the stack.

For LiDAR missions, the airframe includes a dedicated GNSS antenna mount on the starboard side to capture raw GNSS measurements for point cloud accuracy. All LiDAR payloads are sold separately.

Is the WISPR SkyScout 2 approved for federal and defense procurement?

Yes. The SkyScout 2 carries Blue UAS approval and meets NDAA Section 848 requirements, confirming that all components are sourced from approved vendors with no restricted foreign technology in the system. The Herelink Blue controller is assembled in the United States by NW Blue LLC. This makes the full bundle suitable for federal agency, DoD, and critical infrastructure procurement programs.

What flight time can I expect from the SkyScout 2?

With no payload, the SkyScout 2 achieves up to 35 minutes of flight time per battery pair. With a payload of up to 2.2 lbs., expect approximately 30 minutes, plus or minus 2 minutes depending on environmental conditions. Hot-swappable batteries allow continuous operations across battery pairs without powering down the aircraft, supporting uninterrupted mission execution in the field.

Does the SkyScout 2 support RTK and PPK geotagging?

Yes. RTK is included as standard and connects to NTRIP networks or other RTCM correction services for real-time sub-centimeter positioning and in-flight image tagging. PPK geotagging is available through a WISPR Cloud subscription, providing post-processed accuracy for workflows where a live correction network is unavailable or where maximum positional precision is required for deliverable validation.

What is the maximum payload capacity of the WISPR SkyScout 2?

The SkyScout 2 supports a maximum sustainable payload of 3.85 lbs., accommodating RGB mapping cameras, multispectral imagers, thermal sensors, and a full range of LiDAR systems supported natively within WISPR Ground Control. The S-Port quick-attach system allows payload swaps in the field without tools or wiring, enabling rapid sensor changes between mission profiles.
