Gray quadcopter drone with four propellers and dual front-facing cameras.

Resilient and survivable under electronic warfare pressure

Skydio X10D maintains flight and connectivity even when GNSS is unavailable. Built to operate through GPS and communications jamming, it enables vision-only return flights to bring your drones home when signals go dark.

Achieve mission success with the ability to:

  • Dynamically switch channels using a powerful multiband radio to sustain communications in contested spectrum environments
  • Increase survivability in GNSS-denied or spoofed conditions with high-altitude Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO), operating at elevations of several kilometers
  • Navigate and return autonomously without GPS using Anchor Points, leveraging vision-based reference placement directly on the map

Next-generation vision for demanding missions

Engineered with more megapixels and superior optics than any drone in its class, Skydio X10D features modular, high-resolution visual and radiometric thermal cameras. The result is precise, actionable intelligence that gives operators a clear decision-making advantage.

The telephoto camera within the VT300-Z sensor package enables early detection of objects, vehicles, and personnel the moment they enter the field of view—delivering the visual clarity needed to make critical decisions, fast.
As the first small UAS to integrate the Teledyne FLIR Boson+ sensor, X10D sets a new benchmark for thermal imaging. With resolutions up to 640×512 and enhanced sensitivity down to ≤30 mK, it provides highly accurate radiometric data anytime, anywhere—even in the most demanding operational environments.

Skydio X10D delivers unmatched onboard computing power to support team operations and enable real-time, high-confidence decisions. Six custom-designed navigation cameras provide full 360-degree situational awareness, eliminating blind spots and enabling confident flight in any direction.
Execute the most complex missions with confidence, even in contested or cluttered environments. Advanced AI flight assistance and obstacle avoidance dramatically reduce operator workload and cut required training time to a fraction of that demanded by conventional drones.
Built with ample computing headroom, X10D is designed for growth allowing its AI-driven data capture, processing, and synthesis capabilities to evolve and expand over time.
