WISPR SkyScout 2+ with SkyBoss Smart Controller

Description

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 a fully integrated, American-made quadcopter platform built for fleet operators and enterprise programs that cannot compromise on positioning accuracy or regulatory compliance. NDAA-compliant, DCMA Blue UAS cleared, and Green UAS approved, the SkyScout 2+ enters procurement-ready into government, DoD, and enterprise workflows without the qualification overhead that non-listed platforms require.
RTK positioning via the CubePilot HerePro GNSS module is standard, with PPK capability available through a WISPR Cloud Subscription for programs that require post-processed geotag accuracy. A pre-installed, pre-configured FAA Remote ID module ships with every unit, eliminating that compliance step before first deployment.
SkyScout 2+ Key Features and Benefits
• HerePro GNSS: CubePilot module with u-blox ZED-F9P core delivers centimeter-level RTK accuracy.
• SkyBoss controller: Android 10 ruggedized 7″ display with AES256 encryption and 8 km range.
• LiDAR TOF sensors: Front, rear, and downward sensors enable collision avoidance and precision auto-landing.
• Dual smart batteries: Hot-swappable 4350mAh LiPo cells rated for 240 cycles at 70°F.
• TempGuard system: Active and passive climate control sustains performance from -4°F to 122°F.
• Mission resume: Low-battery RTL triggers automatically; mission continues from last waypoint after hot-swap.
• Remote ID built-in: FAA-compliant module pre-installed and pre-configured before leaving the factory.
• TerrainSense LiDAR: Downward TOF sensor maintains precise altitude for low-altitude mission profiles.
• S-Port Quick-Attach: Tool-free payload swaps enable rapid reconfiguration across twelve compatible payloads.
• Compliance trifecta: NDAA-compliant, Blue UAS cleared, and Green UAS approved for enterprise procurement.
The SkyScout 2+ is engineered for operational continuity across multi-mission deployments. The SkyBoss Smart Controller—a ruggedized 7″ 2000-nit display running Android 10, with dedicated gimbal tilt and yaw roll wheels, video and photo hardware triggers, IP55 weather resistance, MIL-STD-810 drop certification, and AES256-encrypted transmission up to 8 km (5 miles) on 2.4/5.8 GHz—gives program managers a command interface that holds up in the field as reliably as the aircraft itself.
Hot-swappable dual smart batteries eliminate turnaround downtime, the S-Port Quick-Attach system enables rapid payload reconfiguration between mission types, and TempGuard Dynamic Climate Control keeps the platform operational from -4°F to 122°F. The complete system—aircraft, controller, batteries, 110V charger, propellers, landing gear, and a rolling transit case capable of holding two full battery pairs—deploys in under three minutes.
A Complete Command Platform Built for Enterprise Programs
Fleet integrators and program managers require more than a capable airframe — they need a system that performs consistently across operators, environments, and mission profiles without constant reconfiguration.
The SkyScout 2+ delivers that through a tightly integrated hardware and software stack: the Cube Orange+ flight controller running WISPR’s custom ArduPilot firmware, the CubePilot HerePro GNSS tracking GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou across L1, L2, and E5 bands, and the SkyBoss Smart Controller transmitting 1080p 30fps video up to 8 km (5 miles) on dual 2.4/5.8 GHz frequencies with AES256 encryption.
RTK fix is typically acquired in under 30 seconds after connecting to an NTRIP network, and PPK rover files are pulled directly from the drone’s USB-C port for post-processing workflows. The SkyBoss itself runs on a 1 fixed plus 1 hot-swappable internal battery configuration rated for 4 or more hours of continuous operation, and on a low-battery failsafe the aircraft automatically returns to launch and resumes from the last mission waypoint after a battery hot-swap—keeping high-tempo operations moving without full restarts.
