WISPR SkyScout 2+ with SkyBoss Smart Controller

WISPR SkyScout 2+ with SkyBoss Smart Controller: Blue UAS Cleared, NDAA-Compliant Drone with RTK/PPK Accuracy

The WISPR Systems SkyScout 2+ with SkyBoss Smart Controller is an American-made, NDAA-compliant quadcopter built for professionals who need survey-grade accuracy and mission-ready reliability straight out of the box.

Powered by a CubePilot HerePro GNSS module with a u-blox ZED-F9P core processor, the SkyScout 2+ delivers real-time RTK positioning standard, with PPK capability available via WISPR Cloud Subscription.

Cleared on the DCMA Blue UAS list and approved under the Green UAS program, it enters government, public safety, and enterprise workflows with FAA Remote ID already installed and pre-configured before leaving the factory.

SkyScout 2+ Key Features and Benefits

• Blue UAS cleared: DCMA-listed and NDAA-compliant for government and DoD procurement programs.
• RTK positioning: CubePilot HerePro GNSS delivers centimeter-level real-time accuracy standard.
• Hot-swap batteries: Dual 4350mAh LiPo smart batteries swap in seconds without powering down.
• Mission resume: Low-battery RTL triggers automatically; mission continues from last waypoint after hot-swap.
• SkyBoss controller: Ruggedized 7" 2000-nit Android 10 display with AES256 encryption and 8 km range.
• LiDAR TOF sensors: Front, rear, and downward sensors provide collision avoidance and auto-landing.
• TempGuard climate control: Active and passive cooling regulates components from -4°F to 122°F.
• Terrain following: GNSS and downward LiDAR TOF sensor maintain precise altitude at all levels.
• Remote ID built-in: FAA-compliant Remote ID module pre-installed and pre-configured at factory.
• Battery lifecycle: Rated for 240 charge cycles at 70°F for long-term operational cost efficiency.

Designed for rapid deployment, the SkyScout 2+ goes from case to airborne in under three minutes. It carries up to 3.85 lbs. of payload, sustains approximately 30 minutes of flight time under load, and handles winds up to 50 MPH.

The SkyBoss Smart Controller — a ruggedized 7" 2000-nit MIL-STD-810-rated display running Android 10, with dedicated gimbal tilt and yaw roll wheels, video and photo triggers, and AES256-encrypted transmission up to 8 km (5 miles) on 2.4/5.8 GHz — gives operators full command authority in any field environment.

The TempGuard Dynamic Climate Control system actively regulates internal component temperatures across an operating range of -4°F to 122°F, and the S-Port Quick-Attach system enables fast payload swaps without tools.

Precision That Performs Across Every Mission Profile

When a survey crew needs centimeter-level data from a platform that fits in carry-on luggage, deploys in under three minutes, and holds up in 50 MPH winds, the SkyScout 2+ is the answer. Its CubePilot HerePro GNSS, built on the u-blox ZED-F9P chip and tracking GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou across L1, L2, and E5 bands, provides the positional integrity that survey and inspection work demands.

RTK fix is typically acquired in under 30 seconds after connecting to an NTRIP network, and PPK rover files are retrieved directly from the drone's USB-C port for post-processing. The SkyBoss Smart Controller extends that precision to the operator interface, delivering 1080p 30fps video transmission, IP55 weather resistance, and a hot-swappable internal battery configuration rated for 4 or more hours of continuous operation.

The Cube Orange+ flight controller running WISPR's custom ArduPilot firmware gives operators fine-grained authority over flight behavior, while the onboard Battery Management System monitors cell health, temperature, and charge state in real time. On a low-battery failsafe, the aircraft automatically returns to launch and the mission can be resumed from the last waypoint after a hot-swap, without restarting the entire operation.
