Next-generation defense-grade small UAS built for tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Cleared on the DoD Blue UAS Framework for all military branches and multiple allied militaries. The U.S. Army placed a $52M+ order for nearly 3,000 X10D units in March 2026—the largest single-vendor sUAS purchase in Army history. Features tenfold compute improvement over predecessor X2D, EW resilience, and autonomous obstacle avoidance in GPS-degraded environments.

Compact, fully autonomous quadrotor with 360-degree obstacle avoidance powered by Skydio's proprietary Autonomy Engine. Deployed across all U.S. military branches and NATO partners for dismounted reconnaissance, base surveillance, and damage assessment. Transitioning to the X10D under SRR Tranche 2 while remaining in service globally.
