We’re extremely aggressive in our mindset and wanting to provide full DFR for the city of Oklahoma City, which is 620 square miles … makes our job easier, makes our job faster. It keeps the officers safer. And it also keeps the community safe.
Drone as First Responder—here’s how it works:
Skydio X10 drones launch from pre-positioned docks within seconds for outdoor response, while R10 drones deploy from patrol vehicles to cover indoor environments. Together, they track subjects, stream live video, and deliver real-time situational awareness indoors and out—keeping officers and the community safe. Skydio helps you establish and scale a successful DFR program.

01. Start with the right drones.
Skydio X10 for outdoor, R10 for indoor, ready for any call.
- Easy-to-fly day and night using autonomy to avoid obstacles and minimize operator cognitive load.
- Fly low and close, even without GPS, to see subjects and details under trees or covered structures or inside buildings.
- See clearly day and night with zoom sensors, active illumination options and reliable live streaming.
02. Strategically position docked X10s, ready to fly within 20 seconds.
- Place Docks where you need them most based on your historical call for service data.
- Provide continuous overwatch and the ability to respond to multiple calls at once with a hive setup.
- Recharge in a ruggedized, weather-ready, and temperature-controlled platform.
When the call shifts indoors, field units launch the Skydio R10, then hand it off for remote flight.
03. Enable remote flight from a browser for both docked and patrol drones.
- Use DFR Command as your DFR central operating system.
- Launch to incidents with one click on a map populated with calls for service from your Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD).
- Use ReadyLink to live stream video directly to anyone with a browser.
- Improve communication and accelerate response using augmented street and address overlays.
- Fly multiple drones at once, controlled by a single operator in one browser.
04. Out-of-the-box integrations automate workflows.
- See Axon body-worn camera and Fleet vehicle locations in DFR Command. Fly to an officer in need with a single click.
- Live stream video into your RTCC for a common operating picture.
- Securely transfer media into Axon Evidence automatically.
- One-click dispatch to CFS with pre-built integrations to leading CAD and NG911 systems.
- Develop and test all integrations in the virtual Skydio Paraverse environment before deployment.
