Last month at their Ascend event, Skydio CEO Adam Bry unveiled the new Skydio X10 drone and shared the company’s vision for advancements in autonomous flight as the key to a safer world. The X10’s upgrades will enable customers to improve efficiency, reliability, and safety. AUVSI Senior Manager of Government Affairs, Scott Shtofman, was able to attend Ascend,  which was held over two days in San Francisco and Hayward, California. The main keynote, flight demonstrations, and user presentations were held at the beautiful Presidio National Park.  

In the small UAS industry, autonomy is changing everything.     AI-powered drones help enterprise users do more: capture more data, navigate more complex environments, and work more efficiently. As the leading U.S. drone manufacturer, Skydio has watched demand for autonomous drones increase across sectors as the underlying technology matures.    

This week on the Dawn of Drones podcast, we end an incredible month focused on autonomy with David Heath, Executive Director of the PA Drone Association and one of the leaders of the nonprofit Aerium. The PA Drone Association is a 501C(6) trade association that advocates, promotes, and grows the societal and economic benefits of safe, accessible, and affordable uncrewed systems technologies in Pennsylvania. Aerium is the related 501C(3) non-profit organization formed to cultivate the pipeline between students, educational institutions and the aviation industry, with an emphasis on autonomous systems.
