Reconnaissance
Deploy a portable, rugged sUAS system to allow individual troops to gather real-time intelligence about local terrain, friendly unit actions, and possible enemy elements.
Security & Patrol
Leverage state-of-the-art sensors and maneuvering capabilities to provide overwatch security, and real-time oversight of enemy ingress/egress routes.
Incident Response
Remotely generate high-fidelity 3D models of any scene or structure for timely and accurate incident response, post blast analysis, and reduced risk to force.

American Innovation and Craftsmanship
We design, assemble, and support our products in the U.S. We develop our software in-house and source our processors from U.S. companies. This enables us to provide a high level of supply chain security.
Secure and Trustworthy Blue sUAS
For providing the highest levels of supply chain and cybersecurity, including National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance, Skydio X2D was selected as a trusted drone platform for the Department of Defense as part of DIU’s Blue sUAS Program.
“When you tie a foreign-made aircraft into your network or a cloud, you may inadvertently be giving your potential adversaries access to your network. That’s where our biggest concern is.
That’s why we must employ aircraft that are approved by the AFSOC. The Skydio X2 is one of those 20 aircraft that are on that list.”
Austin Worcester, Sr Program Manager, sUAS Civil Air Patrol
