## Summary

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.
