Axon, Skydio to Bring US-Manufactured Drones to Public Safety
As a Skydio Elite Partner, Axon will be the exclusive reseller and digital evidence management partner of Skydio's products to public safety globally. In addition, the two companies are working on a joint product roadmap that, in the coming months, will lead to integration between Skydio drones and Axon Air, Axon Evidence, and Axon Respond.

Axon and Skydio have announced a strategic partnership to offer Skydio's autonomous drones to law enforcement and emergency responders via Axon's unmanned aircraft program, Axon Air.
As a Skydio Elite Partner, Axon will be the exclusive reseller and digital evidence management partner of Skydio's products to public safety globally. In addition, the two companies are working on a joint product roadmap that, in the coming months, will lead to integration between Skydio drones and Axon Air, Axon Evidence, and Axon Respond.
Skydio drone-captured imagery will be easily manageable and shareable for agencies, and live alongside corresponding body camera video in Axon's digital evidence management platform, Axon Evidence. Through the integration with Axon's real-time operations platform, Respond for Devices, command staff and 911 dispatchers will be able to access live-streamed views from on-the-ground body cameras and drone footage, providing a more comprehensive picture of an incident. Additionally, Skydio's flight autonomy engine and 3D adaptive scanning software, Skydio 3D Scan, will enhance public safety operations and efficiency by automating scans of crime and accident scenes to create accurate 3D reconstruction models.
Skydio drones are now available for sale by Axon through this partnership, including the Skydio 2 and Skydio X2, with Axon Evidence and Respond for Devices integration launching later this year. Additionally, Skydio will offer Axon Air, Axon Evidence, and Axon Respond to its customers. Skydio designs, assembles, and supports its products in the United States. Skydio X2 has been selected as a trusted drone platform for the Department of Defense and the federal government as part of the Defense Innovation Unit's Blue sUAS Program. Skydio X2 also satisfies the rigorous supply chain security requirements in the National Defense Authorization Act.
