Integration of Tether and Ground Station

The Scout 137's tether system serves as a comprehensive solution, offering power to the drone, seamless control, and a reliable data network. This eliminates concerns about battery changes and flight duration limitations, enabling stress-free inspections. With the drone securely tethered, operators have the flexibility to take their time capturing precise data and can even pause mid-air for discussions. Furthermore, the tether facilitates a robust wired data link, ensuring location-tagged inspection data is efficiently transmitted to the ground station. Additionally, when an internet connection is available, this data can be streamed live to the Scout Portal, enhancing accessibility and collaboration.

TLRS (Tether Launch and Recovery System) allows through-hatch deployment.

Tether

The tether is a custom-made, high-quality product designed with excellent cut resistance and a smooth outer surface for seamless movement over beams and rails. It features high-visibility coating and halogen-free flame retardancy. It effortlessly plugs into both the ground station and the drone, secured by stress-relieving carabiners. After use, it is conveniently rolled up on the provided coil and stored inside the ground station box. The current tether length is 60 meters.

Ground Station

The Ground Station connects to power sources like wall outlets, generators, or battery packs. Additionally, a compatible battery solution is available, housed in the same case as other components when needed. It receives control signals from the pilot to the drone via a fully-wired connection through the tether. The Scout 137's ground station can connect to the internet for live-streamed inspections.

Built-In Gas Detection

The Scout 137 Gen 3 features an integrated gas sensor that continuously monitors air quality during flight. Designed for confined and hazardous spaces, it alerts the pilot to unsafe gas levels or oxygen deficiency in real time.

Scout 137 UTM Payload: Revolutionizing Surface Inspections

Fully integrated with the Scout 137 Gen 3 platform, the upgraded UTM payload streamlines ultrasonic inspections by combining surface preparation and thickness measurement in one seamless action. The system activates automatically on contact and supports controlled release via servo-driven mechanisms, minimizing stress on the drone and enhancing flight safety in confined or vertical environments.

With real-time parameter control, the payload consistently delivers clean A-scans across a wide range of surface types. This all-in-one approach reduces tool swaps, eliminates repeated fly-ins, and improves inspection speed without sacrificing accuracy. Ideal for asset integrity, quality assurance, and safety compliance, it empowers teams to make faster, more confident maintenance decisions.

Engineered for adaptability, the payload adjusts to angled or irregular surfaces and integrates easily into existing workflows.

Scout 137 UTM Payload Key Features

Integrated Surface Preparation & Measurement: The patent-pending head design prepares and scans in one motion, no manual prep or secondary passes required.

Servo-Controlled Magnetic Release: Clean, reliable disengagement from the surface without shifting the drone’s position or risking instability.

Adjustable Probe Head: ±90° servo-controlled articulation accommodates complex geometries and ensures full contact.

Precision Measurement Process: The Scout App manages UT parameters in real time, with laser-guided alignment and live video of probe operation.

Improved Flight Safety: Less drone strain, fewer retries, and safer operations in confined or hazardous environments.

Scout Portal for Data Management

Scout Portal for Data Management

The Scout Portal is Scout's powerful cloud-based tool for inspection data management, offering inspection replay and live streaming. It has built-in SLAM, and all inspection data from Scout 137 payloads are location-tagged and illustrated in a 3D point cloud. Users can customize colour mapping, point-size, and opacity for optimized data rendering, and upload data from other sources such as digital cameras, mobile phones, ROVs, and other drone systems. This feature enables seamless organization of all inspection-related data, including secondary footage from various sources like on-site crew handheld devices, additional outdoor footage.

Data Evaluation, Annotation and Reporting

The Scout Portal offers a robust set of tools designed to streamline the inspection process for users. From review and annotation to reporting and analysis, all inspection data can be effectively managed within this centralized platform. Users have the flexibility to evaluate data from various sources, adding Points of Interest (POIs) and annotations as needed. The platform's intuitive interface provides multiple views, including the video timeline, point cloud, and "edit findings," allowing for a tailored workflow that suits the user's preferences. Whether users prefer to work chronologically through events or focus on specific locations within the asset, the Scout Portal accommodates their needs.
