Skydio drones are powered by a cutting-edge autonomy engine that uses up to nine deep neural networks to create and update a 3D model of the surrounding environment at over one million data points per second.

This state-of-the-art artificial intelligence provides 360-degree awareness and obstacle avoidance, enabling maximum situational awareness and safe autonomous flight even in highly challenging and complex environments. With the flying taken care of, users can focus on the mission and gain actionable insights faster than ever before.

Skydio drones equip tactical teams with on-demand Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for the battlefield, allowing military users to gain a common operating picture for enhanced situational awareness and decision-making.

The rugged UAS can operate at any time of day or night, and fly undetected in contested airspace even at low altitudes and under GPS-denied conditions. Skydio systems are NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS-listed and are trusted by every brand of the U.S. Department of Defense, all FVEY countries and across NATO.

Skydio’s versatile drones are ideal for first responders and public safety agencies, providing a critical overwatch capability that can be deployed rapidly when time is of the essence. Visual and thermal cameras allow users to quickly sweep vast search areas and capture life-saving details during the day or at night.

The company’s unmanned aircraft platforms are in operation with over 320 law enforcement agencies in 47 U.S. states and across Canada, as well as search and rescue (SAR) teams and firefighters.

Skydio’s powerful professional drone solutions boost efficiency and productivity for almost any business case you can imagine, allowing companies to save on manpower costs while boosting capacity and revenue growth. Equipped with state-of-the-art computer vision and obstacle avoidance, they can safely traverse complex environments and job sites, requiring only a few hours of training even for operators with minimal experience.

Skydio drones are also ideal for inspecting power plants, power lines, bridges, railways and more, providing a highly efficient way to gather vital asset health data and troubleshoot problems with minimal risk, ensuring issues are dealt with before they become more costly.
