Skydio and Axon’s strategic partnership is coming along rather nicely. Public safety agencies flying Skydio drones and using Axon Respond real-time operations platform can now access live video feeds from their Skydio 2 and Skydio X2 aircraft for better situational awareness.
Drones can be an incredible asset for emergency responders, enabling greater safety, quicker response time, and better decision-making. At the same time, videos and images captured by drones help contribute to the accuracy of evidence reporting, while increasing transparency and ensuring accountability across public safety organizations.
As such, this critical new integration of Skydio drones into Axon Respond is the next logical step in the partnership which has previously enabled Skydio operators to automatically upload photos and video captured on their aircraft to the Axon Evidence platform.
Future plans include bringing integration with Axon Air so that Skydio users can closely monitor drone hardware, pilots, mission logs, etc. Currently, the Axon Air program supports DJI, Parrot, and Autel drones only.

Axon Air general manager, Aydin Ghajar, explains that the goal behind joining forces with Skydio is to provide first responders with “increased flexibility” in how they utilize situational awareness. Here’s Ghajar:
