Overview
Skydio X10 is a compact, AI-powered quadcopter drone designed for industrial inspection, public safety surveillance, mapping, and autonomous missions. It features a 45 mph max flight speed, 40-minute flight time, IP55 weather resistance, and swappable modular sensor packages including 64 MP narrow camera, 48 MP telephoto (190mm eq.), 50 MP wide camera, and a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ radiometric thermal camera (640x512, <30 mK sensitivity). The onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin GPU provides 10x more computing power than the previous generation, enabling real-time obstacle avoidance, 360-degree navigation with six custom lenses, and autonomous flight in GPS-denied environments. NightSense mode allows zero-light autonomous operation using IR illumination. The drone weighs under 4.7 pounds, folds to a compact size for backpack transport, and supports optional attachments including parachute, dropper, speaker, spotlight, RTK/PPK, and dual cellular connectivity (Connect Fusion+). It offers multiple control modes: direct controller (up to 7.5 miles), browser-based remote ops, and cellular-connected unlimited range. Data is secured with AES-256 encryption, NDAA compliance, and SOC2 Type II certification. Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA.
