National Security: Border Security
Patrol. Verify. Respond.
Persistent aerial intelligence helps agents monitor remote terrain, verify activity faster, and coordinate response day and night.
Border-wide awareness. Powered by integrated, autonomous drones.
Monitor smuggling routes, stash sites, and vehicle movement in real time. Keep Skydio X10 drones at the ready in strategically positioned Docks for comprehensive coverage. Launch where needed and deliver immediate situational awareness.
More terrain covered. More control when it counts.
Automate border patrol.
Automated patrols maintain coverage along fence lines, known crossing corridors, and remote terrain when agents can’t be everywhere at once. Routine or randomized routes reduce predictability and help detect breaches, infrastructure damage, and suspicious activity earlier. Teams get faster alerts when conditions change or intrusions occur.
Verify incursion alerts.
When a sensor alert or ground disturbance triggers, Skydio X10 is on scene in under 2 minutes. Command center gets eyes on before agents are deployed. X10 tracks the subject autonomously until ground units respond.
Respond to activity.
As the situation develops, drones stay locked on. They track subjects across open terrain and give agents the aerial picture they need to coordinate and act fast. Drones maintain continuous overwatch throughout the response to give agents the decision advantage.
From alert to response in seconds.
How automated patrols, instant detection, and live video keep your team ahead of every threat.
A family of flying robots working together to secure the border domain.
Skydio X10
X10 serves as the primary aircraft for rapid response and field interdiction. Launched from vehicles or forward positions, it streams live color and thermal video during remote detections, suspected crossings, and active pursuits. Built for difficult environments, it delivers reliable overwatch across rugged terrain, low light, and extended operations.
Skydio R10
R10 supports interior and vessel security missions in confined and complex environments. Its compact design and autonomous navigation allow agents to clear structures, inspect vehicles, and assess enclosed spaces without unnecessary risk. R10 extends operational reach into areas where line of sight is limited.
Skydio F10
Coming Soon: F10 extends operational reach across wide border sectors, responding miles from launch points and sustaining coverage during extended pursuits or maritime operations. Designed for distance and speed, it supports long-range interdiction and time-sensitive missions where rapid arrival is critical.
Instant launch and handoff.
Skydio Dock enables autonomous launch in seconds when remote detections occur or agents request aerial support. Installed at forward operating sites for automated patrols, preplanned automated missions, and positions aircraft closer to high-traffic corridors for faster response. Dock supports a seamless handoff between fixed-deployment and field operators during active incidents.
Unified command view
Remote Operations delivers centralized oversight across multiple aircraft, missions, and border sectors. Operators manage simultaneous drone activity, shift assets between incidents, and support field agents from a single interface. Command maintains multi-drone visibility and a shared operating picture as operational tempo increases.
Built for border operations.
Skydio connects to the platforms you already trust. Video streams into platforms like Genetec or Milestone; flights launch automatically when triggered by alarms or access-control events from IDS solutions; and integrations like Scylla or Axon extend situational awareness even further. Open APIs ensure flexibility for interoperability.
One operator. Multiple drones. Every sector covered.
Scale aerial coverage without scaling headcount.
One operator commands multiple Skydio drones simultaneously, running autonomous patrols across vast terrain while maintaining a single common operating picture from one command center. More coverage, more awareness, and a force multiplier for your operation.
Detect and track threats in real time.
Lock on and never lose sight. Skydio Shadow locks onto subjects with the kind of precision that is difficult to maintain manually. Once acquired, it automatically keeps a safe following distance, avoids obstacles, and reacquires the target if line of sight is broken. Operators stay focused on coordinating the response while the drone does the tracking across open desert, dense brush, or low-light terrain.
AI-driven detection that integrates with your existing platforms.
Automatically detect personnel and vehicles along fence lines and crossing corridors, so agents arrive with a clear picture of what they are walking into.
Integrate third-party AI models for change detection, weapons detection, and anomalies to match the specific demands of your sector and terrain.
See from any angle, day or night.
Color and thermal cameras give operators full visibility from perspectives that ground patrols and fixed cameras simply cannot reach. NightSense and a spotlight attachment extend visibility even further.
Fly where you need without worrying about connectivity.
Connect Fusion
Skydio Connect Fusion lets drones instantly switch between a point-to-point connection with the dock and 5G connection for unlimited range.
External radio
Skydio Connect External Radio maximizes your point-to-point operational range from the Dock.
Satellite internet
Conduct missions in the most remote locations when paired with Starlink internet connectivity.
Empower agents with a drone in every vehicle.
Border incursions don't always happen where you expect them. Skydio X10 travels with your agents, ready to deploy from any vehicle the moment a threat is detected. Agents can fly it themselves or launch it and pass control to a remote operator, staying fully focused on the ground. Continuous live video keeps the whole team in the picture for enhanced situational awareness.
Skydio is trusted by every branch of the U.S. DoW, allied forces around the world, and more than 1,200 public safety agencies.
