Skydio RQ-28A / X2D

The Skydio RQ-28A / X2D is a compact, foldable quadcopter UAS developed by Skydio, designated by the U.S. Army for platoon-level reconnaissance. Key capabilities include 35 minutes of flight endurance, 360-degree obstacle avoidance via AI-powered 4K navigation cameras, 6km (5GHz) to 10km (1.8GHz) range, and dual EO/thermal sensors for day/night ISR. It supports military/defense use cases like real-time video reconnaissance, 3D scanning, and autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments. The key differentiator is its advanced Skydio Autonomy AI for fully autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance without GPS.
