Get eyes on scene fast

DFR Command keeps officers informed, steps ahead, and aware of reality on the ground from one objective source of truth. Save time, resources, and lives with the ability to get on scene in seconds.

Airborne in 20 seconds

Seamless integration with computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems and real-time crime center (RTCC) software like Axon Fusus help you get airborne to a call for service in just 20 seconds. Skydio X10’s Pathfinder technology plans and flies the most efficient route, considering things like terrain, regulatory restrictions, and data about connectivity quality into account to get you on scene fast.


Designed for dynamic situations

Operate and manage Drone as First Responder missions from wherever you are — from command center to Mobile Data Terminal (MDT). DFR Command enables fluid handoffs between ground and remote operators, ensuring the right person is in command in every situation.

Continuous overwatch

Seamlessly switch drones on missions that call for extended operations.

Fly as far as you need with Skydio Connect Fusion and instantly switch from point-to-point to 5G connections.

Augmented reality overlays

Rapidly orient operators and entire teams with AR overlays. Street names and addresses populate right on the flight screen so you can quickly coordinate tactics and response.

One operator, multi-drone control

Fly multiple drones from a single browser window to improve situational awareness and tactical advantage. Set perimeters and provide overwatch from every angle.

Build a common operating picture by sharing a live stream through a one-tap ReadyLink. Integrations with Axon Respond, Fusus, and other platforms ensure your drone video gets in front of the right eyes at the right time.
