Skydio X2’s Superior Autonomy—The Enterprise Drone that Flies Itself

The Skydio X2 turns anybody into an expert pilot and helps you get the job done safer and faster.

The ultimate intelligent UAV for enterprise applications. Skydio X2E pairs autonomous software with a foldable, rugged airframe for simple “pack and go” transportation and up to 35 minutes of flight time. X2E has six 4K navigation cameras for a 360° range of obstacle avoidance.

Skydio first made a name for itself in the drone industry by creating a drone that could basically fly itself. Since then, Skydio’s advanced autonomy has only gotten better.

The Skydio X2 features top-tier Skydio Autonomy powered by AI. It’s designed for enterprise use cases, including inspections and monitoring, and is renowned for its durability, high-quality imaging capabilities—including thermal vision. The Skydio X2’s autonomous flying features make it ideal for a wide range of operations including inspection, surveillance, and search and rescue missions.

The Skydio X2’s autonomy is supported by:

Six 4k 200° navigation cameras, allowing you to see in every direction
An onboard AI system running on an NVIDIA TX2, allowing you not only to see the world but understand it
360° obstacle avoidance powered by Skydio’s unique autonomy engine

Two Types of Skydio X2s—The Color and the Color/Thermal

The Skydio X2 comes in two models: the Color and the Color/Thermal.

Both drones have the same visual camera. The key difference between them is that the Skydio X2 Color/Thermal also carries a thermal camera, allowing you to capture and analyze heat signatures in addition to standard visual data.

This dual capability makes the Skydio X2 Color/Thermal especially valuable for applications requiring both visual and thermal inspections, such as search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring.

Skydio X2 Color / Thermal

The dual-sensor payload includes a 12MP color camera and FLIR® 320×256 thermal Imaging sensor. The Skydio X2 enables enterprises, first responders, and civilian agencies to safely ramp their drone fleets with minimal training. Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA, X2 provides a trusted, high-quality supply chain security.

The Skydio X2 Color / Thermal is designed for advanced aerial imaging and surveillance with a focus on delivering both high-quality color images and high-quality thermal images.
