Organic Squad-Level ISR with Autonomous Drones

In today's world, situational awareness is key to mission success and force protection in contested combat environments. The ability to obtain timely, accurate, and actionable intelligence can make the difference between success and failure, and even between life and death. This is where Skydio's autonomous small UAS comes in.

Existing options for airborne intelligence have their limitations. Tactical teams in trouble may not have time to call for a drone or crewed aircraft, which may not even be available due to inability to forward stage assets in contested environments. Over the horizon options are not employable. Existing winged drones require operators to focus exclusively on a slow setup process and then flying the drone, and sometimes require operators to expose themselves to enemy fire. They also lack the ability to provide accurate intelligence at the tactical level due to their limitations. Further, complex training curriculums, costly courses of instruction, and excessively long certification requirements cause critical readiness issues due to lack of qualified pilots to send a drone out with every operational team.

Skydio's autonomous small UAS solves these problems by providing actionable intelligence without task saturating the warfighter. It enables seamless human machine teaming for on-call overwatch and a common operating picture for tactical leadership from trusted, integrated platforms. It equips holistic battlespace situational awareness products at the unit level, enabling teams with organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). Skydio's professional program management, training, and procurement support teams help defense agencies rapidly procure, train, and field these systems at scale.

Skydio's dual-use nature means that our solutions are constantly tested on performance and price by capitalistic market competition, so our products are guaranteed to keep soldiers competitive on the battlefield as well. And because of our scale advantages over the niche US players, it is to our advantage to raise the customer’s expectations on volume and affordability.

In conclusion, Skydio's autonomous small UAS is the solution to the limitations of existing options for airborne intelligence. It provides actionable intelligence without task saturating the warfighter, enabling seamless human machine teaming for on-call overwatch and a common operating picture for tactical leadership from trusted, integrated platforms. It equips holistic battlespace situational awareness products at the unit level, enabling teams with organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). Skydio's professional program management, training, and procurement support teams help defense agencies rapidly procure, train, and field these systems at scale. Skydio is the best way to position in the debate of procurement best practices vs. selecting the best technologies that are honed in the private sector.
