Only Skydio brings an airborne advantage directly to the squad level

See enemy combatants before they see you

Generate asymmetric situational awareness advantages by carrying rugged, portable systems into the field. See day and night, and fly undetected in contested airspace even at low altitudes. Skydio’s military-grade airframe, rugged body, and folding arms are engineered for unparalleled portability and performance. Essential for tightening the OODA loop. You can navigate successfully even when the enemy is jamming radio-frequency (RF) or GPS.
