Autonomous drones for DFR, inspection, national security

Visit Skydio

Skydio builds autonomous drones and supporting infrastructure for Drone as First Responder programs, critical infrastructure inspection, tactical ISR, site security, and surveying and mapping. The system combines aircraft, docking stations, onboard AI, and mission software so teams can capture data and respond to incidents without sending people into hazardous environments.

The product family includes the F10 Lightrunner fixed-wing aircraft for long-range response, the X10 multirotor with visual and radiometric thermal sensors, and the R10 for indoor and confined spaces, each paired with a corresponding dock. Skydio Autonomy handles real-time navigational decisions, while Skydio Command software plans, launches, and manages operations across fleets. Mission-specific modules include DFR Command, Security Command, and Asset Command. Skydio Extend provides an integration catalog covering fleet management, computer-aided dispatch, situational awareness, digital evidence, photogrammetry, and inspection workflows, with connections to systems such as Axon, Motorola, Genetec, Esri, PIX4D, and RapidSOS.

Skydio is aimed at public safety agencies, security teams, infrastructure operators, surveyors, and defense users. Products are designed, assembled, and supported in the United States, and services cover regulatory guidance, training, and business case analysis. Pricing and packaging details are not stated on these pages.
