Skydio produces smart drones for security, facility maintenance and defense. Skydio drones help complete even the most dangerous jobs safer, more efficiently and faster thanks to remote half-autonomous control. The Skydio Autonomy operating system sees and solves complex navigation problems in real time. It controls the drone in the most challenging conditions, automatically avoiding obstacles as small as a 1.2-centimeter wire, autonomously plans and executes optimal flight route, taking into account terrain, buildings, geofences, flight rules and airspace regulations. The operator can simply specify the destination. Skydio's main project is "Drone as a Rapid Response" (DFR) for police. When emergency call is received, Skydio X10 drones launch from their docking stations in seconds to respond, track objects, broadcast live streams and provide real-time situational awareness both indoors and outdoors, ensuring the safety of police officers and people nearby.
