WISPR Systems

WISPR Systems is an American drone manufacturer based in Batesville, Mississippi. It designs, engineers and assembles its drones in Mississippi. The company says its aircraft are American made and NDAA compliant. Its main platform is the SkyScout 2 series.

The SkyScout 2 series is a compact, foldable aircraft for surveying, mapping and inspection. It supports real time RTK positioning and high accuracy PPK post processing, along with swappable payloads and WISPR flight software. The company says the aircraft weighs 5.5 pounds and can be ready to fly in under three minutes.

Payloads include a 24 megapixel mapping camera, a 61 megapixel WISPR Flex camera with 35, 50 and 75 millimetre lens options, and LiDAR, thermal, multispectral and optical gas imaging sensors. The company says the aircraft carries up to 3.85 pounds of payload and flies about 27 minutes with a payload.

The SkyScout 2+ adds the WISPR SkyBoss controller. The controller has AES 256 encrypted transmission, an IP55 environmental rating and a sunlight readable display. The SkyScout 2+ is listed on the DCMA Blue UAS Cleared List and is AUVSI Green UAS approved. The company says the aircraft can handle wind up to 50 mph.

Applications include surveying and mapping, construction progress monitoring, power line and pipeline inspection, plant health analysis, and public safety work such as search and rescue. The company positions the SkyScout 2+ as a US built option for government, public safety, utilities and critical infrastructure operators.

Software includes WISPR Ground Control for mission planning and RTK flights, and WISPR Cloud for PPK processing. Geotagged imagery moves into GIS, CAD, photogrammetry and LiDAR workflows. Training, US based support and software updates come from the team that builds the aircraft.

The company says drone kits start at under 18,000 dollars. Its site also offers a demo, a consultation with a drone specialist and a support area for customers.
