WISPR Systems is committed to meeting and exceeding U.S. government, infrastructure, and enterprise compliance standards. Our aircraft, controllers, and supported payloads are designed to support secure drone operations for federal, state, and critical-infrastructure missions, both today and as regulatory requirements continue to evolve.
Our NDAA-compliant drones are built to align with procurement, cybersecurity, and supply-chain expectations for organizations operating in regulated environments.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) establishes requirements intended to prevent federal agencies and federally funded organizations from procuring or operating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or components that present national security risks.
NDAA compliance impacts how drones are sourced, how components are approved, and how data is handled during operations. These requirements apply across multiple funding and procurement pathways.
The following WISPR Systems platforms are compliant with NDAA Sections 848, 817, and 889 when operated in their approved configurations.
These NDAA-compliant drone systems are eligible for use by federal agencies and organizations operating under NDAA procurement and operational requirements.
The Green UAS program, administered by AUVSI, provides a cybersecurity and supply-chain validation pathway for both commercial and government drone operators.
WISPR Systems’ SkyScout 2+ is currently in the final stage of Green UAS approval.
Green UAS validation confirms that:
The Blue UAS program, managed by the U.S. Department of War, represents the highest level of vetting for unmanned systems supporting national security missions.
WISPR Systems’ SkyScout 2+ is currently in the final stage of Blue UAS consideration.
Blue UAS focuses on:

WISPR Systems platforms and supported payloads meet all FCC and FHWA standards enforced as of December 22, 2025.
The FCC recently announced updates to its Covered List, including the addition of certain UAS and UAS critical components produced in foreign countries. This action applies only to new, currently unapproved models and does not affect drones that have already received FCC authorization.
Key takeaways:
AUVSI continues active engagement with the FCC, DoW, DHS, and Department of Commerce to help shape implementation and waiver processes.

NDAA compliance requirements vary based on organization type, funding source, and procurement guidelines. In general:
When state regulations align with DOT or federal standards, NDAA-compliant drones are typically required. Organizations should consult legal counsel or procurement authorities to confirm requirements.
WISPR Systems actively follows guidance and advocacy from organizations such as AUVSI and works closely with industry stakeholders as compliance standards continue to evolve.
Ongoing engagement includes:

This video provides a practical overview of UAS compliance requirements and their implications for government agencies, utilities, and enterprise operators.
Yes. WISPR Systems offers NDAA-compliant drones when operated in approved configurations that include the aircraft, controller, and supported payloads.
No. NDAA compliance is configuration-specific and depends on the aircraft, controller, payload, and deployment setup.
Yes. Documentation can be provided to support procurement reviews, with final compliance determination made by the purchasing organization.
They may be eligible when NDAA-compliant configurations are required, subject to agency procurement policies and funding sources.
No. NDAA compliance and Blue UAS consideration are separate; a drone may be NDAA-compliant without Blue UAS inclusion.
Green UAS is third party verification of your NDAA compliance validation along with rigorous cybersecurity testing.
Yes. WISPR Systems designs and manufactures its drone platforms in the United States.
Yes. WISPR drone platforms support local data storage, helping organizations meet NDAA-related data handling and security requirements.
No. Existing FCC-authorized WISPR drone platforms remain legal to sell and operate.
Yes. Regulations may change, and organizations should periodically review compliance status as part of ongoing governance.
With world-class training and support, owning one of our WISPR Systems American-made drones means years of productive and well-supported flying.
