Visionary cameras to get the job done.
Packing more megapixels and better optics than any drone its size, Skydio X10 boasts high resolution visual and radiometric cameras in modular sensor packages. So you can capture the right details for your job.
Get the detail you need from a distance.
The telephoto camera on the VT300-Z sensor package enables you to detect objects, vehicles, and humans as soon as they enter your field of view — giving you the visual clarity to make to make critical decisions quickly.
Unrivaled thermal imaging.
Skydio X10 is the first drone ever to integrate a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ sensor, delivering the highest quality thermal imaging. Capable of resolutions of 640x512 and offering increased sensitivity down to (=30mK, X10 delivers more accurate radiometric readings, anywhere, anytime.
Unmatched thermal sensitivity
The Boson+ sensor is 40% more sensitive than comparable thermal units on the market
Unparalleled image clarity
640x512 thermal resolution combined with radiometry and advanced AGC enables the clearest thermal images
Sharper, clearer imagery
Onboard image optimization algorithms enhance detail in distant objects and improve overall aesthetic for easier interpretation
Onboard AI. Off-the-charts capability.
Fly without limits or learning curves. With a drone that recognizes its surroundings, captures data automatically, and gets smarter over time.
Backed by an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin GPU, the X10 harnesses unrivaled computing power to make the right decisions in real-time. Six custom-designed navigation lenses provide 360-degree visibility, eliminating blind spots so you can fly fearlessly in any environment.
Fly with ease.
Navigate the most complex missions confidently, even in GPS-denied or high EMI environments. With superior AI flight assistance and obstacle avoidance, you no longer need to hire a specialist to get the job done, whether you’re in the field with your drone, or piloting from a hundred miles away.
Automate complex missions.
Complete targeted inspections automatically, with a Spatial AI Engine that senses and understands what you’re scanning. Efficiently build 2D maps and 3D models onboard, in real time. Or export data to Pix4D, Bentley iTwin Capture, gNext, DroneDeploy, or ESRI SiteScan.
Get smarter over time.
Skydio X10 is loaded with the computing capacity for its AI data capture and synthesis capabilities to grow over time.
Fly however you want.
Fly by controller.
Plan, execute, and review any mission with the Skydio X10 Controller and Flight Deck, our optimized flight application.
Fly by browser.
Launch and fly a drone from a browser with applications/remote-ops Skydio Remote Ops applications/dfr-command Skydio DFR Command.
Pass off piloting to a remote operator.
Hand over control to an offsite pilot any time with applications/remote-ops or Skydio DFR Command . The remote pilot can use a browser from any location to seamlessly pick up exactly where the onsite pilot initiated the handoff.
An open modular platform.
With modular sensor packages and four attachment areas, the Skydio X10 swiftly adapts to changing mission requirements. Mount a parachute, spotlight and more, for a max payload of 12 oz. 2
Ready for anything, anytime, anywhere.
Designed from the ground up to bring the performance of a heavy drone to a backpack portable device. Weighing under 4.7 pounds with a 13.8 inch length, the Skydio X10 folds into the most compact size of any drone with similar sensors, truly enabling one-person operation.
Quiet propulsion. The efficient motors and folding 3-blade design of the Skydio X10 delivers a quiet flight profile while allowing for top speeds of up to 45 mph in stable air.
Lightweight materials. A lightweight and durable magnesium and carbon fiber frame, coupled with an innovative graphite heat-spreading system, ensures the Skydio X10 can withstand harsh environments to deliver vital aerial intelligence, anytime.
