Beam Global Merger Partner ScoutDI Receives Order For Its Scout 137 Drone Inspection Systems From A Nuclear Industry Customer; Terms Not Disclosed

The customer and order specifics cannot be identified for security reasons. The drones and software will be used to perform inspections and provide safety to personnel in nuclear facilities.

According to a January 2026 report from Research and Markets, the global nuclear inspection services market is projected to grow from $2.96 billion in 2025 to $4.27 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7.6%. The report identifies the expansion of robotic and drone-based inspections, advanced sensor technologies and remote visual inspection as key trends shaping the market. ScoutDI’s nuclear-sector order reflects the application of its inspection technology in this evolving market.

The Scout 137 is a tethered drone for confined-space inspection that captures 4K visual inspection, ultrasonic thickness measurements, and 3D LiDAR data in a single flight, with unlimited flight time. It is used in maritime and offshore, oil and gas, power generation, including nuclear, mining, and critical infrastructure, and has completed more than 7,000 recorded inspection flights.

Every flight comes together in Scout Portal, ScoutDI's cloud platform. Each inspection leaves a 3D scan of the space, not just images and video. Inspectors can follow a flight live from anywhere, then walk through the structure in 3D, with every finding and thickness reading pinned to its exact location. Results and 3D scans can be shared securely with asset owners and contractors, and reports are generated directly from the data.

On October 7, 2026, Beam Global announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ScoutDI. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place early in November and is subject to customary closing conditions.
