WISPR SkyScout 2 with Herelink Black Controller: American-Made Precision for Survey-Grade Mission Execution

The WISPR SkyScout 2 is a compact, foldable quadcopter designed and manufactured in the United States for professionals who need reliable aerial data collection in demanding field conditions. Built around a Cube Orange+ flight controller running custom WISPR firmware, the SkyScout 2 supports RTK and PPK geotagging, carries payloads up to 3.85 lbs., and withstands winds up to 50 MPH, making it a capable platform for mapping, inspection, public safety, and utility workflows.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Blue UAS and NDAA compliance: Blue UAS approved and NDAA Section 848 compliant for government, defense, and critical infrastructure procurement.
  • RTK geotagging: real-time sub-centimeter positioning via NTRIP or RTCM services included standard.
  • Hot-swap batteries: field-swappable 4350mAh packs charge in 45 minutes and support mission resume.
  • Payload capacity: carries up to 3.85 lbs. for versatile sensor and camera configurations in the field.
  • Wind resistance: 50 MPH max wind rating sustains stable flight in challenging outdoor conditions.
  • Collision avoidance: LiDAR TOF sensors cover front, rear, and downward directions up to 164 ft.
  • TempGuard system: active and passive thermal management maintains performance across temperature extremes.
  • SignalShield protection: advanced EMI shielding reduces interference near power lines and cell towers.
  • TerrainSense follow: GNSS or LiDAR-based terrain following supports reliable low-altitude guidance.
  • Foldable airframe: folded dimensions of 4.5" x 10" x 17" fit inside a carry-on sized hard case.

This bundle pairs the SkyScout 2 with the Herelink Black controller, a compact and advanced remote control system featuring a 5.5-inch LCD screen rated at 1000 nits for clear outdoor visibility. The Herelink Black transmits 1080p video at 30fps over a secure 2.4GHz LTE connection at up to 12 miles, with dual antennas and AES128 encryption ensuring stable, secure communication across professional field operations. Together, the SkyScout 2 and Herelink Black deliver a mission-ready, NDAA-compliant system for operators who demand dependable tools in the field.

When the Job Demands Accuracy and the Site Demands Speed

When a survey crew needs centimeter-level data from a platform that fits in carry-on luggage and deploys before the rest of the gear is unpacked, the SkyScout 2 is the answer. Its operating temperature range of -4°F to 122°F, combined with TempGuard climate management and SignalShield EMI protection, means the platform holds up in industrial environments, near high-voltage infrastructure, and across seasonal extremes.

The SmartCore power distribution system monitors both batteries simultaneously and provides redundant protection, while the onboard Battery Management System delivers predictive maintenance alerts and real-time health data before issues affect your mission. For operators running survey, inspection, or public safety workflows, consistent data quality and platform reliability directly translate to fewer repeat flights and lower operational cost over time.

Is the WISPR SkyScout 2 NDAA and Blue UAS compliant?

Yes. The SkyScout 2 meets NDAA Section 848 requirements, meaning all components are sourced from approved vendors and are free of restricted foreign technologies. It also carries Blue UAS approval, making it suitable for federal, defense, and critical infrastructure procurement. The Herelink Blue controller is assembled in the United States by NW Blue LLC, a USA-owned and operated company.

What collision avoidance does the SkyScout 2 have?

The SkyScout 2 uses LiDAR TOF sensors covering three directions: forward, rear, and downward. The PathGuard system provides long-range obstacle detection at up to 164 ft. (50m) on the front and rear axes. The downward-facing sensor also supports auto-landing and active terrain following at low altitude. Default proximity detection activates at 5m (15 ft.) and avoidance engages above 3m (9 ft.) of altitude.

What is the flight time of the SkyScout 2?

The SkyScout 2 achieves up to 35 minutes of flight time with no payload. When carrying a payload of up to 2.2 lbs., flight time is approximately 30 minutes, with a tolerance of plus or minus 2 minutes depending on environmental conditions. Hot-swappable batteries allow continuous field operations without powering down the aircraft between battery changes.

Does the SkyScout 2 support RTK and PPK geotagging?

Yes, both are supported. RTK is included as a standard feature and connects via NTRIP or other RTCM correction services for real-time sub-centimeter positioning and in-flight image tagging. PPK is available as an upgrade through a WISPR Cloud subscription, enabling post-processed geotagging for workflows that require maximum positioning accuracy without a live correction network.

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

The SkyScout 2 supports a maximum sustainable payload of 3.85 lbs. This capacity accommodates a wide range of professional sensors including RGB mapping cameras, multispectral imagers, thermal cameras, and LiDAR systems supported within WISPR Ground Control. Payload integration uses the S-Port quick-attach system, which requires no wiring and allows field swaps without tools.
