SKYDIO X10D AT A GLANCE

ELECTRONIC WARFARE RESISTANCE
Skydio X10D has a number of solutions that enable flight in electronic warfare conditions. Visual navigation allows for positioning independent of GNSS and dynamic frequency switching increases the system's resilience to radio communication loss. Additional emergency procedures allow the drone to autonomously leave an area where there is no communication with the operator and visual and GNSS navigation is impossible.

USE OF VISUAL DATA FOR NAVIGATION AND OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE
AI algorithms continuously analyse the image from the drone's six navigation cameras that provide 360° vision. This allows the drone to determine its position by analysing landscape features at altitudes of up to 300 m and autonomously avoid obstacles.

PRECISE OPTICS
The Skydio X10D payload hosts 3 cameras: a 64MP standard lens, a 48MP telephoto lens and a Flir Boson+ 640x512px thermal imaging camera. The operator can also view the image from the 32MP navigation cameras.

OPEN ARCHITECTURE
The X10D can be equipped with additional accessories (up to 4 at a time), including a spotlight, speaker, and IR for navigation and automatic obstacle avoidance in the dark. Skydio has also made the interface documentation available, enabling the integration of third-party accessories.

INTEGRATION WITH BATTLEFIELD SYSTEMS
The Skydio X10D can transmit data and video to ATAK servers and also supports RTSP. It is also possible to control the drone using third-party control equipment.

RESISTANCE TO HARSH CONDITIONS
The X10D has an IP55 rating, allowing it to carry out missions during rain and snow. The drone has a high temperature tolerance (from -20°C to +45°C) and resistance to wind gusts of up to 12 m/s.

OPERATIONAL AND IT SECURITY
Data and communication between the drone and the operator are encrypted using the AES-256 standard. The X10D is also an offline platform: neither the drone nor the equipment can connect to mobile networks, and the system does not operate in the cloud.
