WISPR Systems' SkyScout 2+ receives Blue UAS Cleared List approval from the Defense Contract Management Agency

3 Key Points

  1. WISPR Systems announced Blue UAS Cleared List approval for its SkyScout 2+ unmanned aircraft system. The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) manages the list and evaluates platforms for cybersecurity, supply chain security, and operational integrity. The SkyScout 2+ previously earned Green UAS Certification from AUVSI in February 2026.

  2. The SkyScout 2+ incorporates AES-256 encrypted communications, domestically sourced components, and a hardened system architecture. The WISPR SkyBoss™ controller adds AES-256 encrypted transmission, IP55 protection, and extended runtime. Field performance features include long-range obstacle detection with precision terrain following, EMI protection for high-interference operations, and intelligent power and thermal management.

  3. Blue UAS approval streamlines federal procurement and signals NDAA compliance, removing a barrier for federal and public safety agencies that need secure, compliant systems. The clearance also exempts platforms from FCC Covered List restrictions on foreign-produced UAS components through January 2027.

  4. The SkyScout 2+ is available now through WISPR Systems and authorized distributors.
