DEMO WISPR SkyScout Pro w/ Black Herelink

Description

Key Features of the SkyScout Drone

Compact and Lightweight: The SkyScout features a foldable, carbon-fiber frame that makes it highly portable and easy to transport, even as a carry-on item.

Interchangeable Payloads: It has an open payload architecture that allows users to quickly swap out different sensors without the need for tools or wiring. This includes various cameras for mapping and inspection, as well as LiDAR payloads for creating detailed 3D models. It can carry payloads up to 3 lbs.

High-Precision Navigation: The drone is equipped with dual-band RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) and PPK (Post-Processed Kinematics) capabilities. This provides centimeter-level accuracy for data geotagging, which significantly reduces or eliminates the need for ground control points, saving time and effort in the field.

Safety and Durability: It includes omnidirectional LiDAR-based collision avoidance for safe flight, even in low-light conditions.8 The rugged design and a dampening mount for the camera ensure stable and high-quality image capture, even in challenging environments and winds up to 50 mph.

Efficient Operations: The system features hot-swappable batteries, which minimizes downtime between flights and allows for more continuous operation. Depending on the payload, flight times range from 30 to 35 minutes.

The Black Herelink Controller

The Black Herelink is an integrated remote controller and ground station that serves as the central command unit for the SkyScout. It is a critical component of the system, providing seamless control and data transmission.

Integrated Functionality: It combines manual flight controls, a live HD video feed, and a ground station with a touchscreen display into a single device.

Secure and Long-Range Communication: The Herelink system uses an encrypted digital transmission link that provides secure communication for remote control, telemetry, and HD video with a range of up to 20 km.

Ground Control Software: The controller runs ground control software like QGroundControl and Mission Planner, which allows the operator to program automated missions on a Google Maps overlay, monitor flight telemetry, and check the live location of the aircraft.

Dual Camera Support: The controller has dual mini-HDMI ports, allowing the user to connect two cameras and switch between their live video feeds, which is useful for complex inspection tasks.

The WISPR SkyScout with the Black Herelink controller is an integrated solution that combines a highly portable and rugged drone with a powerful, all-in-one ground station. This system is designed to provide professionals with a reliable, accurate, and secure platform for a wide range of geospatial and inspection applications.
