Footage
Skydio's overview of the Dock for X10 and its DFR Command software for remote-operations fleet management. The dock and command software add remote operations, not additional flight autonomy.
Skydio's footage of its Drone as First Responder (DFR) model: an X10 launches from a dock within seconds to respond to public-safety calls. Skydio has genuine onboard obstacle-avoidance and autonomous flight, but missions are operator-deployed and supervised.
Partnership with Axon to deliver a scalable Drone-as-First-Responder offering to US public-safety agencies, integrating Skydio drones with Axon's body-camera and evidence ecosystem.
