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
