Live security demo: Four drones. Two states. One operator.

Today's a live demo focused on site security. We hope you leave with kind of this this pathway where you can see a lot of our customers have started to go down, where their teams are getting more coverage and faster verification without additional headcount or budget.

Another thing to note is something special about today. We are gonna fly four drones simultaneously for the first time ever. This is a newer capability and very, very critical to security, and we're very excited.

Before we get going, quick question.

We have a lot of flexibility to say, and I wanna address everybody's specific interest. So if you have questions throughout, we have plenty of time at the end saved to answer those. Please enter them in the chat throughout, and we'll make sure we get to all of them at the end during q and a or try to address them during the presentation.

So let's get started. I've spoken to around seventy five corporate security leaders over the last six months responsible for large venues, data centers, corporate campuses, correctional facilities, all different types of places, but three different themes come up very consistently no matter who I'm talking to.

And the first is that their guard programs are costing more every year while the results are kind of staying flat. The second is that the fixed cameras and foot patrols they have today just create inconsistent coverage. There's there's gaps.

And finally, the amount of false alarms is overwhelming. A lot of people are telling us that ninety four ish percent of their alarms are false.

This is a problem. It consumes operator time and budget, creates a lot of noise, makes it really hard to know when there's a real security threat because you got to clear all of them. So what does this tell us? I think the the problem with security programs isn't the effort. It's scalability and signal quality. So I think the question we're all here asking in some way, shape, or form is how do you increase your coverage and reduce your noise without adding headcount?

And I think we're all done adding cost to broken systems.

We feel like we've hit a ceiling on what the static tools like guards, fixed cameras, reactive alarms can deliver and need some innovation.

So we're kind of shifting towards this world where we're we need always on adaptive coverage, proactive deterrence, and a higher signal to noise ratio so your teams can stay focused on real threats.

So what's the answer to this? We think that it's autonomous drones that live in docks at the sites you care about, and they're deployed as an always on system. And just so I'm clear, the the point is not the drone. It's what the drone allows you to do. It gives you mobile coverage, rapid verification without anybody having to get out of their chair or add new people to fly it.

And this only works because it's we deliver this end to end. We provide the dock, obviously. We provide the drone, but we provide the remote operation software and plus the services and integrations you need. So your team isn't stitching together five different vendors for a single solution. You you lean on us as a single provider that and it just works with our family of drones. And you just need something that can be seamlessly plugged into your existing workflows and systems and have that scale, we have the answer.

So this is bringing us to a world where a lot of our customers are calling this the new standard in their site security. And there's really three main workflows we're seeing out in the field.

There's patrol, where you can schedule autonomous missions day or night, rain or shine, and you can automate randomized routes, randomized timing, so the coverage isn't predictable.

There's deterrence, where if something looks wrong, you can put a very visible presence overhead. There's a spotlight on this drone. There's a speaker. And this often prevents crime before it even starts, which is a really important factor that I think a lot of us don't think about today.

The third is responding. When an alarm triggers, the drone's airborne in seconds automatically to put eyes on the scene, and it can plug into your IDS or VMS workflows. And ultimately, what this lets you do is just clear false alarms fast without having to get out of your chair.

And all of this is designed to be operated remotely from anywhere, which you're gonna see shortly. So here's what we're gonna see today. We're gonna be flying in four different locations. We're gonna initiate some missions. We're gonna patrol, monitor, detect, and act.

And, again, we're doing this all remotely from thousands of miles away. I'm in Minneapolis, John Erickson, Texas, Lee's in Seattle. And we'll be flying sites that are in Fort Collins, Colorado, and San Mateo, California, so thousands of miles away, but in real time. And that distance is kind of the point.

Before we jump in, is not a theoretical solution.

We're proven at scale across public safety, critical infrastructure companies and in the defense world.

In the US, that includes over one thousand public safety agencies, nine hundred critical infrastructure organizations like utilities and oil and gas companies. And we're also deployed across every branch of the military and plus with twenty nine allied forces globally.

So we've got three thousand eight hundred plus customers in the industries that keep our society running, and they're flying a lot.

Last year, they flew three point three million times. That's sixty five flights per hour, roughly one a minute. And that kind of utilization only happens when the system is dependable in real operations. And that's what we're going to show you today.

Ultimately, a lot of things come down to dollars.

There's the economics behind this, and it's very important. So one DockHive, which is three docs running twenty fourseven, delivers roughly the same security hour equivalent of fifteen full time guards. And this is obviously really powerful.

Now that equivalency comes from two buckets at most sites, routine patrol coverage and false alarm checks. So with a hundred percent of routine patrols handled autonomously with a drone that can go forty five miles an hour, and ninety four percent of alarms being false, teams get time back to handle real issues. And as your sites scale, the economics improve because you're scaling this coverage without needing to scale headcount.

Last slide. So this is called the ReadyLink. It lets you view the drone's live point of view in real time remotely. It's really helpful to provide visibility to other teams who may not be on-site.

Give this a scan now. And when John Eric launches the drones, you'll have the ability to toggle through the four drone feeds and actually see the real time view yourself. So I'm gonna leave this up here for fifteen more seconds so you guys can pull your phones out. I'll also put a link in the chat that you can view this on your computer as well.

John Eric, I'll I'll kick it over to you.

Awesome. Thanks, Tommy. Like Tommy said, my name is John Eric Tucker. I am based in DFW in Texas. And we are going to do the multidrone demo. So everything good with my screen, Tommy, for sharing?

You can see the Looks good.

Great. So this is our DFR command platform. So this is where your pilots and your teams will control all of the dock based and you'll be able to actually see hand flown drones in here as well.

And so we can already see one of our headquarters docs is flying, but we're going to go ahead and we're going to go and start with Colorado State University.

So we're going to go in here, make sure that doc is good, check the weather.

I'm gonna go into your pilot's flight page. So this is where you see the tab on the left. You have your incidents coming in. So these are your where we integrate with your CAD system for your calls for service data.

So as those come in, they will auto populate, and then you can respond to those calls for service accordingly.

If you do have Axon, we also integrate with Axon body cameras, and you can see all your personnel by name throughout your city on the map.

And then all of the drones available for those. So we're gonna go down here to our missions tab, and we're gonna go ahead and fly dock one ninety at Fort Collins, and we're gonna do a fence check.

So I'm gonna click on fence check. We're gonna select that mission.

We have dock one ninety. I'm gonna go ahead and run that mission with that dock. It's gonna bring us over there on the map and we're going to enter the cockpit. So this is where your pilot will take off from that dock. You can see the dock opening right there preparing for launch.

We're going go ahead and launch that mission. So on the map, can see what this mission looks like as we're inspecting that fence line through those waypoints. So this will be autonomously flying and checking those inspection points.

So while we're doing this, I'm gonna go ahead and launch another drone at Fort Collins.

We're gonna do a solar gate check. So we're gonna go back to our missions. We have a solar gate check here.

Select that mission. And then we're gonna go ahead and fly coupe one hundred ninety one.

So you can see we now have a split screen.

We have the one dock flying its autonomous mission while the second one is preparing.

We're gonna go ahead and launch that second dock.

So that's gonna go across the field. You can see on the map, this is an active runway. And so we have keep in zone geo fences and keep out zone geo fences. The orange is the keep out and the green is keep in.

So what this is gonna do, it's gonna fly underneath this geofence, underneath the runway to get to the other side. There's we built in a little tunnel right here to go underneath the flight path for those aircraft if they are coming in.

And now for the third, we're gonna launch a headquarters dock. We're gonna check the we're gonna do a perimeter patrol.

Just to touch on the geofences really quick while you set that up.

This, like many other things you see today, are purpose built to reduce the cognitive load. You shouldn't have to think about, am I flying in legal airspace? Am I too close to people, cars, what have you? This gives you a surefire way to just make sure that your drone is staying within the right bounds at all times without having ever to worry about it again.

Alright. So we'll close that tab. We can see the HQ doc. This is our headquarters in in San San Mateo, rather, not San Francisco. So you can see the waypoint mission set around the perimeter of our headquarters.

So now I'm able to monitor each of the drones themselves while they're performing these autonomous missions.

And as you can see on top, you see this white box around the top drone? That shows me that I am watching that drone or I have control of that drone. If I click down here, your map is gonna move to this drone, and you're gonna have full control of this drone. And then swapping over to headquarters, your map moves over to California from Fort Collins, Colorado, and then you have full control of that drone.

So we are autonomously flying these three missions while I'm in my command center monitoring these to make sure there are no issues at all. So I'm gonna go ahead and let's return the SolarGate check. We're gonna keep watching this fetch line.

Yeah. While you're doing that, John Eric, do you wanna, check back at the headquarters doc and see if there's any other alarms you can respond to?

Yeah. So there is an alarm.

We'll go check out. Let's see what this one is. Suspicious person reported walking through the parking lot structure looking in car windows.

Verbally assaulted passerby and potentially armed. So, hey, we're actually gonna go check that out.

So instead of continuing that mission, we're gonna go ahead and respond to that with another HQ dog.

So this is preparing for launch of HQ to go respond to that call for service.

Launching that. So this drone at CSU is complete. We're gonna go ahead and exit out of that cockpit to give us a little more real estate.

Then I think this fence line is about to wrap up as we get to the final waypoint, waypoint fourteen. So while I'm watching this respond to that incident, I think this waypoint is about done. So I'm gonna go ahead and return and land that in the dock. So now I can focus on this call for service.

So I am controlling this drone manually. Let's look down.

So we're gonna fly forward and down to get down into this parking garage and see what we can find out.

Let's expand that window a little bit.

Okay. Let's see. Think we I can return this one as well.

I didn't while John and Eric's doing that, I did notice a couple questions coming in. One was this, do the drones avoid each other while flying? Yes. We have built in some built in deconfliction for your org today.

In the future, we'll be expanding that to other orgs. So, like, even if it's another Skydio drone in another organization. But right now, yeah, we will deconflict with our own drones. And then the second question is, while they're flying, what are you looking for? So John and Eric will show some of our people detection today.

This is a little early. We do have the four to one waivers. We have over thirteen. We just had thirteen approved in the last week for our customers. We are building out some capabilities that will do the auto detections for the people and vehicles. That's coming soon.

So now we can't really see in there, so I'm gonna switch over to a thermal mode.

And you can see there is a person standing there.

Let's do let's do a white hot.

So now you can see there's a person in there. Obviously, we have a dummy as for this. And so we're gonna fly inside.

Up here on the top of you can see our visual navigation, our GPS navigation. So one thing that we do really well at Skydio along with many other things, but we have visual navigation. So as we get in here, you can see GPS already dropped way off. So right now, we're using visual navigation as opposed to GPS so that we can be in these GPS denied environments and still fly effectively.

So we see Go ahead.

Chad, if I can jump in. The so Lee and I have actually timed this out. And so we have a real security guard. This is at our headquarters. And for that person to get an alert, get in their car right outside the front door, and get up to the top of this parking garage takes about four minutes. If we start at the same time with the drone, we're here in thirty seconds. So before the security guard has even reached the garage, much less five floors up, we're already eyes on scene.

And another thing that's important there, you you touched on this, but all of this that we're showing means that you don't need expert pilots, and you can start quickly and save resources. A lot of drones would really struggle to fly in GPS denied environments, and a lot of pilots would be nervous to fly in there because of there's a lot of things to run into. But these drones have obstacle avoidance, and it even works in the dark. So you can make this type of advanced flight possible for just about anybody, which is really important.

So right now, we are I am enabling track.

So now we should be able to lock on.

Copy. Let me exit that mission.

And just as a follow-up to that other piece about what we track, as John Eric's about to show here, he's locking onto a subject. We are coming out initially with models around people and vehicles. And you can see while he's locked on, he's able to kinda rotate left and right. The other thing we actually have customers doing today, and that even works while you're zooming in, is we we have integrations. So we mentioned at the beginning, you can also use we have integrations to pull our real time stream out and throw that in a third party tool. We do have customers using their own AI models via our stream here.

So there is I think we lost Lee.

Yep. I'm gonna go see if I can find a vehicle to walk on to as well.

So for security, think about it in the intent that someone is trying to break in, and you lock on to them, and then they run to a vehicle.

You're able to lock on to that vehicle. Let's go ahead and lock on this one.

See if we can grab their license plate. Yeah.

A little far.

So the drone is autonomously following this. I am not actively flying. You can see both my hands. Actually, we're gonna hit follow. Now it's autonomously following.

It was just tracking, and now it's flying to keep that vehicle within its its sites. We do have a geofence here. We'll probably hit in a second. There we go. Reach the edge of geofence.

And so then at least you can get a direction of travel, license plate direction of travel for that vehicle.

Yeah. And then as Adam just noted in the chat, one of the cool things you saw there is is it even tries to, like, predict where a vehicle is going. So it passed through a number of trees, was still able to stay locked on.

And, it's really helpful to have this when you are trying to follow a subject. It's sometimes hard to keep centered. This is just another tool in the kind of tool belt to help you keep your your suspect or what you're looking for front and center, almost better than a pilot can do as well.

Exactly. Why don't you talk about the the street overlays?

Yeah. Exactly. I was just gonna go to that. You can see how what Lee just talked about, it went under the bridge and kept tracking.

The street overlays are are phenomenal. My background is I just came from DEA about a year ago to Skydio and doing some buy walks and drug exchanges and things like that. And so to be able to have the overlays to see what street address, and we we even we can include business names and things like that. And so when you are say you do get in a Pursuit or Foot Pursuit or whatnot, then you can actively call out where the where the subject is tracking.

One other thing to point out here, the the the stream of the stream on this screen looks a little bit low res, and that's because we're screen sharing through a webinar platform. If you're looking at the ReadyLink view, you'll notice it's a whole lot clearer.

This is what Jet sees on his computer screen Yes.

As well.

Yeah. Here's thermal capability. I think we So I feel like they were flying the r ten. That may have been mistaken.

But that would yeah. There's the r ten right there. So y'all can see us demoing that. That's our indoor tactical drone.

Doing some fun outdoor testing and seeing excuse me, refining what that capability is.

Wonder if Alden knows he's on our webinar.

Alright.

Should we do a little license plate zoom in before you land just to show off the the camera? Absolutely.

We are at thirty six times zoom.

Y'all may not be able to see it, but it's nine f d b o one two, California plate. I don't know how grainy it is through the feed, but I'm able to read that.

Do you think we're, like, hundred yards away?

Further than that.

Okay.

Yeah. Let me actually, we can look right now.

Into interest. And then we're gonna do distance.

So we can see should be showing distance.

There we go.

Alright. And while we're kinda looking at the rest of this, this is the time where we like to encourage you all to start, popping in some more questions. We've been getting them on the fly.

And another one here about the f ten.

You do know we've announced the f ten, and we said, I believe in our announcement, we said that we'll be looking to get early access by the end of this year for folks.

So, Jed, are you flying this drone?

Yes. I was returning to dock.

So Sorry. Go ahead. After you.

Yeah. So I was just returning to dock.

Simply, all you have to do if you are I will demonstrate this really quick.

So if you are out and about and you're flying around, you are done with your mission or whatnot, your security patrol, you can just hit this blue button, return and land in dock, and the drone will autonomously fly back to its home dock and land in there safely. As soon as it lands, you're able to upload that evidence into evidence dot com if you're integrated with Axon, or, that NetMedia also syncs with our cloud, and you're able to pull it from the cloud for whatever other platform that you need it for.

Yeah. Or if you have any other third party integration as well where, we have integrations today with Genentech. Oh, what's the other one I'm thinking of? Yeah. We have a bunch of VMS products as well that we'll integrate with.

We got Axon, Genentech, d drone, RapidSOS, Sound Thinking, And then also an open API in the front and back end. So your existing sensors can be plugged in to generate alerts in this system. You fed through your BMS platform, whatever you use, it can be plugged in.

Alright. So thank you, Tommy. And I've got one more thing I'm gonna share. Thank you, John Eric, as well.

The action of this part of this session, what we're doing here is what we call the pair.

It's not it allows you to simulate flights from your x ten, but it's more than just a simulator. It actually lets you build out your entire operational environment before you fly a real drone. So I looked at our attendee list today, saw we had a couple folks from Nebraska Medical Center on. So what I did was just put a dock in your area.

And what this would allow you to do is, I can just go and fly. So I'm gonna start entering the cockpit. But what you can do is build and test your integrations in this environment. You can build all your geofences, and we're gonna have capabilities to actually bring whatever you build in the Paraverse over to your real environment as well.

And then you get to fly. So we put the I'm gonna give you a little more screen space here. But what we've done is we've put the all the compute power from the x ten in the cloud, and then we've built a digital world that, in my opinion, gives you almost the same as a flight experience. In fact, I actually fly the Paraverse sometimes when I'm flying and testing stuffs more than I will, real drones just because it is that accurate and it a feel for what's going on.

Hopefully, connection's not too slow. What we've also done is put some vehicles in the Paraverse world to drive around, and that allows you to just get a little more realistic. So you can not only feed those markers that we're responding to, you could imagine connecting all your sensor data and flying, kind of test missions. You can do things like turn on that shadow track and follow capability.

Enable that.

And you do some of the same functionality out in the Pariverse.

Let's see if I can grab one of these cars.

Of course, it's grabbing everything except for what I'm looking at today.

Yeah. The the Paraverse is a really powerful tool. So you can build out your geofences. You can set the docks where you want them in your city, county, whatever agency, whatever whoever you're with.

And then you can actually have your pilots training, responding to calls for service while you're in anticipation for deploying your docs in real life. And so you can build out those experiences and, like, those workflows while you're waiting for your real docs, and it's it's a very powerful tool.

Yeah. Second of PeriVerse is it's completely free. So you guys will all get a email after this with a link where you can request this, and it's yours to to play around with if you'd like.

I'd like to go to Scott's questions. Is flight automatically limited by environment? So we never automatically limit flight.

We we don't have we leave that up to the pilot to determine if the drone is airworthy and the environmental conditions are airworthy enough per the FAA standards to fly. And the reason being, there are we do work with a lot of public safety agencies, and we don't want to limit them from flying to critical events, such as active shooters or things like that, especially if they need to go. And then the second question from experience, what percent of time is flight not recommended because of the environment? That completely depends on your geographical region and kind of the weather in in your area.

It'd be hard to put a number on that because being in Texas, we can fly most of the year when maybe in Alaska, they can't fly as much. So it really depends on weather. But we do have environmental HVAC, essentially heaters and coolers systems inside the docks, and so it does keep the drone at optimal optimal temperature so that when you do need to fly, it's ready to fly.

Yeah. Great color out there, Joe and Eric. And then I know I just landed, but if y'all were watching, I kinda put the dock on a precarious roof, which would not happen in real life. But one of the cool things was when I hit return, it actually used our Pathfinder capabilities, and that's that automatic fight pathing, using the the data that's in your operational area. So those buildings and stuff, it navigated around the buildings. And then you also have the added security layer of, Skydio's, three sixty avoidance, which actually works in the Paraverse too. So you really get to test out everything that we do.
