November 22 2024

The Scout 137 Drone System is an industrial inspection drone designed for GPS-denied environments. 

It utilizes onboard 3D LiDAR sensors and patented navigation technology for rock-steady positioning and location-tagged inspection data.

The drone is tethered to provide UNLIMITED FLIGHT TIME, allowing laser-focused and uninterrupted focus on the job.
This fully wired connection is also immune to RC disturbances and signal loss, and eliminates fire-hazard concerns related to Lithium-based battery power.

The drone provides live Full HD video streaming and captures high-resolution 4K visual data. 

The optional UTM Payload allows Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements to be done using the drone.

The probe head has a servo to enable smart release and remote control for measuringt surfaces of varying orientations.
 

After a successful inspection, 
all data is easily uploaded to our cloud-service for review, analysis and sharing.

The Scout Portal also allows live-streaming inspections to remote audiences.
