About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a federal contract opportunity requiring the procurement of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
The solicitation calls for the acquisition of two (2) each Skydio X10D Starter Solution units (Multi-Band, IR) with VT300-Z sensors, model number DR4DSBN3IZA1000NA. The systems must be designed and assembled in the USA and comply with NDAA requirements, RAS-A compliance, and support the open MAVLINK protocol for third-party and government software integration. Key performance specifications include: folded dimensions of 13.8" x 6.5" x 4.7", maximum flight time of 40 minutes, maximum flight speed of 45 mph, and operational temperature range of -20°C to +45°C. The aircraft features IP55 ingress protection and includes four attachment bays for modular mission configuration with deployment time under 40 seconds. The sensor payload comprises four cameras—a wide-angle Sony IMX686 (64 MP, 93° FOV), narrow Sony camera (64 MP, 50° FOV), telephoto Sony IMX586-K (48 MP, 13° FOV), and a Teledyne FLIR Boson+ thermal imager (640 x 512 resolution, <30 mK NEDT sensitivity)—along with six 32 MP navigation cameras providing 360-degree obstacle avoidance. The systems feature autonomous flight capabilities including NightSense mode for night operations and advanced AI for GPS-denied and high-EMI environments. Connectivity options include the Connect SL Radio (12 km range) or Connect MH Radio (10 km range with defense/multi-band frequencies). The smart controller includes a 6.6" dynamic AMOLED touchscreen display with 1750 nits outdoor brightness and HDMI/USB-C outputs.
