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.

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.

After learning from failures in Ukraine, Skydio adapted its technology to operate without GPS, demonstrating resilience and capability in harsh environments.

The industrial capacity of China is fearsome, especially in deploying highly autonomous AI-driven drones at scale, which presents a significant challenge for the U.S.

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.

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

We consider ourselves dual-use companies, as the threats we address in national airspace cut across various sectors, and drones can be utilized for beneficial purposes, such as inspecting infrastructure and logistics, rather than just for malicious activities.

The ethical implications of using autonomous drones in warfare are significant, as the goal is to minimize human suffering while ensuring precision in targeting.

We build and operate long-range, high payload drones for critical supply deliveries, focusing on enterprise customers and medical supplies.
