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.
Key Features and Benefits
- Blue UAS and NDAA compliance: Blue UAS approved and NDAA Section 848 compliant for federal, defense, and critical infrastructure fleet integration.
- RTK geotagging: real-time sub-centimeter positioning via NTRIP or RTCM correction services included as standard.
- Hot-swap batteries: 4350mAh field-swappable packs charge in 45 minutes and support automated mission resume without powering down.
- Payload capacity: 3.85 lb. maximum sustainable payload accommodates RGB, multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR sensor packages.
- Wind resistance: 50 MPH max wind rating maintains stable data collection in exposed or high-wind operating environments.
- Collision avoidance: LiDAR TOF sensors provide front, rear, and downward protection with PathGuard detection up to 164 ft.
- TempGuard system: dual active and passive thermal regulation sustains component performance in temperature extremes.
- SignalShield protection: integrated EMI shielding maintains link integrity near power lines, substations, and cell towers.
- TerrainSense follow: GNSS and LiDAR-based terrain following enables consistent low-altitude data capture across variable terrain.
- Foldable airframe: 4.5" x 10" x 17" folded profile deploys from a carry-on sized case for rapid site-to-site repositioning.
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.
