Skydio is a U.S. drone manufacturer serving defense, government, public-safety, utility and enterprise users. Its X10D is a small uncrewed aircraft system combining onboard flight assistance, obstacle avoidance and modular visual and radiometric thermal cameras. The manufacturer describes an offline operating architecture that does not depend on cloud applications, alongside secure communications and U.S. design, assembly and support.
Skydio announced an initial Norwegian Ministry of Defence award of NOK 101 million and said deliveries of X10D systems to the Norwegian Armed Forces had begun through Norwegian partner Oskar Pedersen AS.
The announcement specifically highlights NightSense navigation for darkness and operation down to minus 20 degrees Celsius, linking the platform to Nordic operating requirements. These are manufacturer-stated capabilities rather than proof of unrestricted all-weather performance. The Norwegian award supplies concrete procurement relevance, while the available source does not establish aircraft quantities or completion of the entire delivery programme.
