The Skydio X10D is an autonomous industrial inspection drone built to collect high-resolution visual, radiometric thermal, mapping, and modeling data in complex environments.
As a Blue UAS-Cleared and NDAA-compliant platform, the X10D is designed for organizations with demanding cybersecurity, supply-chain, communications, and procurement requirements. Its multiband connectivity and vision-based navigation support operations where GNSS signals or communications may be degraded.
Demande de devis
Industrial drone inspections often take place around large structures, difficult terrain, physical obstructions, or infrastructure that can complicate navigation and communications.
The Skydio X10D combines autonomous obstacle avoidance with high-resolution visual and radiometric thermal sensors, helping operators collect inspection data while maintaining awareness of the drone’s surroundings. For organizations working across large sites or under demanding technical and procurement requirements, these capabilities provide a flexible foundation for inspection, documentation, and infrastructure assessment.
The Skydio X10D is on the U.S. federal government’s Blue UAS Cleared List. This designation means that the X10D meets rigorous federal cybersecurity, supply-chain, and NDAA compliance requirements, giving government agencies and other security-conscious organizations a vetted industrial inspection drone solution.
For federal, critical infrastructure, and industrial users, the X10D combines Blue UAS-cleared procurement with high-resolution visual and radiometric thermal sensing, AI-powered autonomy, and navigation and connectivity capabilities for GNSS-degraded environments.
Other Blue UAS-cleared Skydio products include:
The X10D’s multiband radio can switch channels when interference or other conditions affect connectivity. Vision-based navigation also helps the aircraft continue operating and return when GPS is unavailable or unreliable.
While the X10 and X10D share many imaging, autonomy, and flight capabilities, the X10D adds specialized communication options, greater resilience in GPS-degraded environments, third-party controller support, and an open architecture for custom integrations. For inspection programs that don’t require these capabilities, the Skydio X10 may be the better fit.
Six navigation cameras give the X10D 360-degree awareness and help it avoid obstacles in every direction. AI-powered flight assistance helps you navigate complex structures while focusing on the asset and the data you need to capture.
You can also create 2D maps and 3D models onboard to document larger sites, review spatial context, and confirm capture coverage without additional field-processing systems.
Optional NightSense attachments extend the X10D’s vision-based navigation into environments where its standard visible-light navigation cameras cannot reliably perceive their surroundings.
NightSense Visible Light illuminates the environment for the navigation cameras, while NightSense IR Light supports autonomous navigation using infrared illumination that is not visible to the unaided eye.
