Beyond the Build - Skydio X10D: Decision quality data
Bring organic ISR down to the warfighter level with a back-pack sized drone with high fidelity cameras – including a FLIR Boson+ radiometric sensor.
Learn more about Skydio X10D.
- X10D's sensor capabilities are definitely superior to the other
- sensors in its class. But I think that the thing that makes them the most
- differentiating is what it adds to the mission.
- Having a persistent capability that provided ISR that built,
- we'll call it just situational awareness of your immediate battle space,
- is
- exceptionally important, not just day but night as well, to
- keep our people safe.
- So the X10D, um, it's really gonna meet all the
- requirements right now, especially
- in a drone of this size and class. We have the 64
- megapixel narrow camera and the 48 megapixel
- telephoto. That as a package hasn't existed ever in a
- drone of
- this class.
- The ability for a Skydio aircraft to maintain
- distance well outside the audible range and still get the sensor fidelity that
- they need on target, I think is what makes it the most impactful.
- It also allows you to do more high fidelity things like tracking at long
- distances, um, and being able to show what sensor data
- you
- need from the target from a longer range.
- Now if I can bring that organic ISR capability down to the
- war fighter
- at the tactical edge, like the very far edge of the battle
- space, um, I don't have
- to rely on a very expensive airplane with a person in it.
- I can take the information and inform decisions
- that can then open up the
- entire battle space.
- One of the major steps up in technology between X2D and X10D is
- actually the thermal camera.
- The 640 Boson Plus, there's nothing like it in its class.
- Um, to be able to have a radiometric thermal
- on something that's backpack
- portable is really incredible.
- For the thermal camera, we have a very high sensitivity
- sensor, so that's gonna give us the ability to see
- when there's very low
- temperature differences across your scene.
- Sometimes you, you get a high resolution camera
- that just doesn't work well in low
- light, or just doesn't work well even in nominal
- conditions.
- We've really upped our game with the way we're doing tuning, and we're just
- comparing to other systems and we're just outperforming them, and I,
- I think that's
- testament to really optimizing for our use cases.
- With the fidelity and the sensor capabilities of the X10D,
- whether
- it's day or night, now we can start making better
- and more informed
- decisions that, once again, maintain safety for my fighting
- force, my war fighter.
