Integrate Armada with Skydio

Our deep business and technical partnership enables Skydio customers to seamlessly onboard their drones to Armada’s Commander Connect platform and unlock a wide range of multimodal capabilities for real-time decision making at the Edge. The use cases range from public safety and emergency management to remote drone-based inspections and monitoring of distributed assets and operations.

Commander Connect is a single pane of glass for managing distributed assets and remote operations. The Commander platform provides capabilities to monitor and control drones, connectivity, sensors and other IoT assets and unlocks unparalleled insights and efficiency through Armada’s Operational Intelligence AI and ML applications. Today, Commander Connect supports Skydio Drones, Starlink Terminals, Peplink and Cradlepoint Routers, and a large array of sensors and cameras that together give our customers unmatched situational awareness and operational efficiency.

Operate anywhere at a moment’s notice: Armada’s suite of connectivity, observability, and AI capabilities make it possible to deploy and centrally manage large and distributed fleets of Skydio drones in remote as well as network-constrained environments. By integrating Skydio drones and docks, Starlink satellite connectivity, and SDWAN capabilities—such as bonding and failover—through Cradlepoint and Peplink enterprise routers, Armada’s Commander Connect platform makes it possible to establish continuous remote presence and control and eliminate operational delays with transporting equipment and media across geographic and network boundaries. Achieve always-on drone operations that can take flight at a moment’s notice, transmit live flight telemetry and video for aviation and real-time processing, and upload recorded images and videos through a high-bandwidth network for immediate access and post-processing, once your drones complete their flights.

Automate Drone Operations: Take advantage of additional Connected Assets, such as cameras, sensors, robots, and other IoT devices, and create sophisticated workflows involving autonomous drone missions. For instance, customers who deploy environmental monitoring sensors can react to smoke and fire detection alarms by automatically scheduling drone flights to capture aerial surveillance of affected areas, increase situational awareness, and inform operational planning and response. In time-sensitive applications, tight integration between various assets through the Commander Connect platform can make the difference between timely response and success vs. squandered opportunity and loss.

Improve safety and efficiency with Armada’s AI Applications: Armada’s computer-vision based AI and ML applications can support your missions and operations, and address the needs of responding to natural emergencies, performing routine inspections, or carrying out complex manned and autonomous flights. Armada’s AI apps can ingest and process several live video streams from drones to detect objects, events, persons, and behaviors of interest in real-time. Alerts and notifications can help guide ongoing operations and generate reports for review and auditing when flights conclude.

Procure and manage Connected Assets, Apps and Operations: Procure and deploy a wide variety of Connected Assets and Applications through Armada’s Marketplace. Offerings include Starlink hardware and service, Cradlepoint and Peplink routers, N5 environmental monitoring sensors, and a growing list of applications offered by Armada and our trusted partners. Assets and apps available through our Marketplace integrate with the Commander Connect platform, allowing you to create sophisticated operations that can be managed effectively through a single pane of glass. Furthermore, Armada’s entire suite of software and hardware offerings is certified for SOC and ISO compliance, making us a trustworthy enterprise partner for your mission-critical operations. Our platform offers robust SSO, Role-based Access Control (RBAC), Audit Logging, and Asset management capabilities, allowing you to onboard hundreds of sub organizations, teams and thousands of assets anywhere in the world, while giving you the controls to ensure safety and security of your personnel and operations at every turn.
