Unrivaled thermal imaging.

Skydio X10 is the first drone ever to integrate a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ sensor, delivering the highest quality thermal imaging. Capable of resolutions of 640x512 and offering increased sensitivity down to <=30mK, X10 delivers more accurate radiometric readings, anywhere, anytime.

With thermal module

Unmatched thermal sensitivity

The Boson+ sensor is 40% more sensitive than comparable thermal units on the market

Unparalleled image clarity

640x512 thermal resolution combined with radiometry and advanced AGC enables the clearest thermal images

Sharper, clearer imagery

Onboard image optimization algorithms enhance detail in distant objects and improve overall aesthetic for easier interpretation.

Detect temperature differences
even on a hot day.
Detect a person on a roof
in complete darkness.

The sensor packages on the Skydio X10 supercharge your sight, enabling you to capture it all in high-definition. Because the data is in the details.

Bring the sharpest details
to every decision.

Off-the-shelf components couldn’t deliver the image quality our customers deserve. So, we engineered our own lenses. Achieve unrivaled resolution and superior focus with lenses you won’t find anywhere else.

Pixel perfect images. Improve white balance, de-noise photos, extend HDR capabilities and more with sensors backed by the powerful Spectra 480 image signal processor.

Highest quality zoom. Maintain superior image quality even in zoomed-in shots through a compact transition zoom system.

Fly with ease.

Navigate the most complex missions confidently, even in GPS-denied or high EMI environments. With superior AI flight assistance and obstacle avoidance, you no longer need to hire a specialist to get the job done, whether you’re in the field with your drone, or piloting from a hundred miles away.

Automate complex
missions.

Complete targeted inspections automatically, with a Spatial AI Engine that senses and understands what you’re scanning. Efficiently build 2D maps and 3D models onboard, in real time. Or export data to Pix4D, Bentley iTwin Capture, gNext, DroneDeploy, or ESRI SiteScan.

Get smarter over time.

Skydio X10 is loaded with the computing capacity for its AI data capture and synthesis capabilities to grow over time.

And do it all in the dark.
