Skydio X10
X10 puts eyes over the scene outdoors. Launched in seconds from patrol vehicles or Dock hives, it streams live video through DFR Command—tracking subjects, following vehicles, and providing real-time overwatch day or night.
Skydio R10
R10 puts eyes indoors before officers enter. Compact and rugged, it’s launched by patrol officers and flown manually or handed off to a remote pilot through DFR Command. It streams live video, lights dark spaces, and puts two-way communication in the room.
Skydio F10
Coming soon: F10 extends the radius of DFR coverage to dozens of miles, responding to long-distance calls, sustaining coverage for extended incidents, and keeping pace when speed is critical.
Skydio Dock for X10
Dock makes DFR persistent. Strategically placed Dock hives keep X10s ready in the right locations. Connected to CAD and NG911 through DFR Command, operators launch the nearest drone instantly for faster response, broader coverage, and 24/7 operations.
DFR Command
DFR Command is the operating system for drone as first responder. From a single view, remote operators launch and manage Skydio drones, respond to multiple calls, and stream live video to patrol and command through ReadyLink. Integrated with CAD. Manage all your drones in a single interface for simplified fleet Management.
Natively integrated.
DFR Command natively integrates with the systems agencies already use. From RapidSOS and CAD at dispatch, to live operations through Axon Fusus with body-worn and fleet cameras, to automatic evidence upload into Axon Evidence, every step of the workflow is integrated.
