When it comes to using drones for public safety, the capability of the drone is important but the deployment tactics matter just as much.
In this first episode, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team uses Skydio X2D to assess the risk, survey the damage, secure the area, and search for survivors of a vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED)
After the area is secure, the team begins a next-generation Sensitive Site Exploitation technique. This is done using Skydio 3D Scan to create a 3D model of the scene from an autonomous collection mission.
After the EOD team passes intel back to the JOC, a special operations team follows a tip to apprehend the bomb-maker who was responsible for the VBIED in the prior scene
As our SOF team completes infil to the suspected area of the bomb-maker, they are forced to prepare for a raid without the benefit of manned ISR support. From an OP, they launch the X2D to conduct a target recon of two suspected sites.
The best sensors for a drone this small, piloted by the most advanced AI in the sky. To get the data you need, wherever and whenever you need it.
Everything we've built at Skydio has led us to this day. Join us for Dock Day on Dec 7th where we'll explore customer use cases, reveal product info, and take a deeper dive into the future of Skydio Dock and Remote Ops.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been around since the '60s but what’s new is the wide variety of platforms - from heavy, turbine-powered warbirds - to lightweight, versatile drones capable of many ISR missions. Mark Valentine, president and general manager for global government at Skydio talks about the evolution of defense in this interview with Tom Temin, co-host of The Federal Drive on Federal News Radio.
