About this file

This is a technical specifications document for the Skydio X2D drone system, which is being procured through Air Force contract FA301625Q0038. The document details the capabilities and specifications of Skydio's military/federal reconnaissance drone that features AI-powered autonomous flight, 360-degree obstacle avoidance, and dual-sensor payload with 4K60P HDR color camera (16x zoom) and FLIR thermal imaging (8x zoom).

The X2D system specifications include a flight range up to 10km, flight time up to 35 minutes, ruggedized folding airframe, and advanced security features like AES-256 encryption. The drone weighs 1325g and comes with a controller handset featuring dual joysticks and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. Key autonomous capabilities include omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, tracking of up to 10 simultaneous objects, and automated calibration. Optional add-ons include Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Foundation and Skydio 3D Scan software for infrastructure inspection. The system is designed, assembled and supported in the USA to meet U.S. Army Short-Range Reconnaissance requirements.

OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE

True 360°

RANGE FLIGHT TIME

up to 35 min up to 10 km

Skydio X2D uses unmatched AI to turn every operator into an expert pilot Skydio X2D is the ultimate reconnaissance tool. X2D pairs breakthrough autonomy software with a ruggedized airframe with folding arms for easy “pack and go” transportation, and up to 35 minutes of flight time. X2D is equipped with six 4k navigation cameras for 360 degree obstacle avoidance and a dual sensor payload that includes a 12MP color camera and FLIR® 320x256 thermal sensor.
