The first generation of Skydio drones failed in Ukraine due to a lack of focus on electronic warfare capabilities, leading to a significant redesign to operate effectively in GPS-denied environments.

In civilian markets, Skydio's advantage over DJI lies in its advanced AI and autonomy capabilities, allowing its drones to sense and respond to environments in real time, outperforming DJI's technology.

Skydio aims to contribute to the industrial base by enabling the deployment of highly autonomous AI-driven drones at scale, which is crucial for maintaining military effectiveness.

The speed of software deployment is critical in modern warfare; Skydio was able to write and implement new software for its drones in just 24 hours to adapt to battlefield conditions.

We're learning from the conflict in Ukraine to develop automated systems that can respond to drone threats effectively.

Current drone light shows rely heavily on GPS and communication links, which are vulnerable to jamming on the modern battlefield, making them less relevant for military operations.

In Ukraine, the use of Palantir's technology has enabled rapid recovery and operational continuity even after significant attacks.

We build collision avoidance systems for industrial drones, which are now mandated by aviation authorities worldwide for safe operations.

The conflict in Ukraine has been a significant catalyst, demonstrating that low-cost, autonomous systems can effectively engage traditional military assets like tanks and battleships.
