Offers Solutions For Real-Time Situational Awareness And Evidence Management

Axon and Skydio have decided to partner on autonomous drone systems for law enforcement and emergency responders via Axon's unmanned aircraft program, Axon Air. Axon will act as a reseller and digital evidence management partner of Skydio.

The partnership between Axon and Skydio offers solutions for real-time situational awareness and evidence management. Skydio drone-captured imagery will be shareable for agencies, and live alongside corresponding body camera video in Axon's digital evidence management platform, Axon Evidence.

Through 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 automate scans of crime and accident scenes to create accurate 3D reconstruction models.

Skydio drones are now available for sale by Axon, 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.
