Skydio

Skydio’s current product lineup centers on its X10/X10D drone family and dock-based systems (Skydio Dock for X10) paired with software for remote autonomous flight and mission execution. For public safety, Skydio DFR Command is presented as the control/software layer used to run DFR-style missions (e.g., providing live situational awareness to first responders). For inspection and surveying, Skydio highlights mission workflows and software capabilities such as 3D Scan, RTK/precise navigation from Dock, and other application-oriented automation. For national security, Skydio markets tactical ISR and related mission sets using its X10D platform and dock/remote-ops approach. Business model: Skydio sells drone hardware and dock systems, and bundles or monetizes autonomy software and program services (e.g., regulatory/mission support and success services) for organizations running recurring, safety-critical deployments. Skydio also highlights manufacturing and support conducted in the U.S., and in 2026 announced a large commitment to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity. Strategic position (as of 2026-09-01): Skydio has recently emphasized scaling deployments (dock and flight counts), improving and hardening cloud/remote-ops operations (including a May 2026 post-incident review), and continuing to expand defense and public-safety adoption via new contracts/awards and regulatory milestones. In funding, the company continues to raise capital at increasing valuations, with a disclosed Series F raise in April 2026 raising its post-money valuation to $4.4B.
