WISPR x NW Blue. Elevating American-Made Innovation in Drone Technology

WISPR Systems and NW Blue are proud to partner together to form an alliance focused on showcasing the best in American-made drone technology and advancing the conversation around precision, reliability and real-world applications. Through this partnership, the two companies are setting a new standard in unmanned systems, driven by a mutual commitment to performance, compliance and customer success.

Precision Platforms Meet Proven Components

WISPR Systems, headquartered in Batesville, Mississippi, designs and manufactures rugged, high-performance drones for mapping, surveying and inspection. The SkyScout, WISPR’s flagship UAV platform, is purpose-built for demanding field conditions and delivers industry-leading accuracy. Equipped with customizable payload options—including the 24MP Mapper, Sony ILX-LR1 and LiDAR units from Inertial Labs and YellowScan—the SkyScout empowers professionals across industries like construction, engineering and utilities to collect precise data with efficiency and ease.

This collaboration integrates NW Blue’s Herelink Blue, an all-in-one solution for ultra-low latency video, telemetry and control links up to 20 km. Manufactured in the USA of US and imported parts, the intuitive interface provides real-time feedback, giving drone pilots unmatched situational awareness and responsiveness in the field. Built for reliability, the Herelink Blue system aligns with both companies’ commitment to professional-grade usability and mission-critical performance.

The Orange Cube helps future-proof our platforms, said John McArthur, VP of sales and marketing for WISPR Systems. It was an easy decision to invest in the best.

Powered by CubePilot

A key component in this collaboration is WISPR’s utilization of the CubePilot Cube Orange+ a Blue UAS Framework listed flight controller, distributed by NW Blue. This industry trusted autopilot with its redundant and isolated sensors is stress-tested by freezing/heating multiple times over a 24-hour period. Any detected IMU anomaly would cause its rejection—enabling WISPR drones to remain at the forefront of UAV performance.

A Shared Mission for U.S. Drone Leadership

This partnership reflects more than just technical integration—it’s about creating lasting value through American-made innovation and support. NW Blue isn’t just a top-tier manufacturer and distributor; it’s a partner committed to helping clients thrive.

At NW Blue, we’re driven not just by delivering the industry’s most trusted UxV components, but by building lasting partnerships through unmatched support, said Hillary Bierschank co-founder of NW Blue. Our greatest success is watching our partners such as WISPR grow and thrive.

Whether mapping power lines, surveying land, or training future operators, these integrated systems are designed to perform today and tomorrow.

Together, WISPR Systems and NW Blue aren’t just building drones. They’re building a smarter, more secure and more sustainable future for the U.S. drone industry.
