Skydio's X10 is the company's flagship autonomous drone (announced September 2023): three cameras, night-capable sensors, and the onboard Skydio Autonomy Engine for self-flying inspection and public-safety operations. It is the genuine-autonomy anchor of the commercial drone set: where most consumer and commercial drones are operator-piloted with assist features, the X10's self-flying autonomy is the product. It is sold into enterprise and public-safety channels on a quote basis (not a published consumer retail price), so DEPLOY records no reviewed consumer price. Skydio is a US maker spanning commercial and defense use; the X10 is at production maturity.

Skydio's Ascend keynote covering its X10 drone and autonomous-flight roadmap. Skydio's autonomy is genuine onboard obstacle-avoidance and self-flight; the roadmap and capability claims are the maker's.
Skydio's overview of the Dock for X10 and its DFR Command software for remote-operations fleet management. The dock and command software add remote operations, not additional flight autonomy.
Skydio's footage of the X10D, the hardened defense variant of its X10 drone, framed for military and duty missions with day and night imagery. Autonomous flight is onboard; missions are operator-deployed.
Skydio's footage of its Drone as First Responder (DFR) model: an X10 launches from a dock within seconds to respond to public-safety calls. Skydio has genuine onboard obstacle-avoidance and autonomous flight, but missions are operator-deployed and supervised.
Skydio's launch film for the X10 enterprise and defense drone. Skydio's autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance are genuine product features, presented here as marketing.
