Scout Drone Inspection is a Norwegian drone inspection company that makes inspection drones and accompanying software to enable autonomous asset inspections and remove personnel from hazardous environments. Its current product, the Scout 137, features a crash‑proof propeller cage, a LiDAR scanner for indoor obstacle avoidance, and an option to tether for extended flight time. The Scout 137 carries a 4K camera with real‑time streaming, geo‑tagged images and videos, and a 10,000‑lumen light array for low‑light work. Operators control the drone via a ground control app that manages video, camera, and lighting; inspections stream to the Scout Cloud Portal, which builds a 3D model in real time for remote viewers. The company plans to use the recent funding to further develop its drones and related technologies. The article notes investor confidence in the team and technology and highlights partnerships that can help with regulatory and industry requirements.
