Alright. Welcome, everybody, for joining us today.

I'm excited to be here to talk to you about what we offer from a security, perspective, our dock solutions and our drones. But before before we get started, I'll go over some ground rules, introduce our speakers, and outline what we're going to discuss overall. My name is Greg Reeder, Sr. Director of Defense Strategy at Skydio. I'll be your host for today. Now for some technical housekeeping notes.

Everybody has been muted to cut down on any distracting, background noise.

Please feel free to put your questions in the chat throughout the webinar. We'll collect the questions, and answer them at the end of the presentation. If there is a burning desire during the demo portion to ask a question, please do and we'll get to it if we can during the demo.

Otherwise, we'll answer the questions at the end of the presentation. We're also recording this session so everybody will get a copy when we're done.

Let's get into it! I'm pleased to introduce our two experts. First, we have Lee McMillan.

Lee is the Director of Product Marketing for Dock and Remote Ops here at Skydio. He has over twenty years experience in hardware and software across public safety, and he's been with other regulated industries beyond Skydio including Amazon and Axon.

We also have Taylor Mitcham, our drone pilot running the demo portion of our presentation today.

Taylor is a drone industry veteran. She's a Solutions Engineer at Skydio with more than nine years launching and leading, small UAS program. She has more than two thousand drone flight hours, and she's also a Sergeant in the Army Reserves where she's in the innovation command.

She's an innovation analyst, so we not only have an expert drone pilot, but also an innovator.

Today, we'll focus on the challenge that many of you face when it comes to providing security.

How to secure large scale complex perimeters with limited resources, limited people, and all types of other, limitations that you have to provide a good security picture across that entire area. So the goal of our webinar today is to introduce what we have as a solution to those types of challenges called remote operations.

We also implement the Skydio dock that helps do that even on a broader and wider scale. And the star of the show with the dock is our AI powered drone that make all of that possible.

So just before we get into it, I know that a lot of folks in the audience are either active duty, prior service, or involved in public safety. With roughly a hundred veterans here at Skydio, we definitely appreciate what you do and the sacrifices you make every day to protect the nation and protect our citizens. We know it's a dangerous job, and that's one of the reasons why we've designed our drones to be able to do the tough jobs to help keep people safer and to give better situational awareness for people. Personally speaking, I've had more than thirty years experience in the Marine Corps, and I understand some of the challenges that people face every day when it comes to security, especially on installations, both domestic and overseas.

Today we'll cover base defense, our solution that we get into, a few use cases, how the drone operates, and then we'll dive right into the demo so you can see how all of this comes together.

Providing security is a tough job - we all realize that. If we look at just the defense, there's seven hundred and fifty installations around the world with millions of acres and millions of people to protect with just a small amount of resources, namely overworked, force protection personnel. And there's a lot of challenges that come with just those types of locations. We have MacDill Air Force Base with a bunch of water access. We have, Kirkland Air Force Base with fifty seven thousand acres to secure and manage as well as managing wildlife on the location. So having the capability to provide remote operations is enormous.

And it's not just about the the job at hand, it's about the real threats that exist. You can see and you have seen - and I'm sure you've been party to - a lot of the headlines that are out there. Every day someone's trying to access either accidentally or on purpose and cause mischief on our installations or even worse. It's a big challenge to find a way to overcome and a growing threat with limited resources. So our answer to that is what we call base defense - integrated security and incident response.

And we all know the challenges are there. Where there's limited numbers of people, there's limited coverage. There's lack of situational awareness of being able to see everything all at once, at the same time, in a short period of time.

And there are safety risks with the perimeters, with the dead zones, with the areas that, people can't get to easily. Most times, they have to take a vehicle out to the location in question. There could be, as I mentioned, water excess, low areas that aren't covered well by cameras. There's tons of reasons why perimeter security, and the way we do incident response today, is not that efficient.

Skydio has come up with a better way as many have, but we think we've got a good solution that's packaged all together. The way we've set up remote operations and our dock operations allows us to do more with less. I know force multiplier is a is a cliche, but we really believe that having docks and drones is a way to force multiply the people that you have. It gives efficiency because you can get there faster, you recon spawn quicker, you can go directly to the point of the incident without trying to locate it manually. There's also the ability to pull all those data sources in at once with an enhanced perspective so that it gives leaders and people right there on the scene a complete picture instead of going into some place unknown.

Even just to deescalate a situation or to show up with the right resources because you'll know what you're facing right at the start. Here's an example of some of those challenges and solutions. If we look at a traditional perimeter - I don't know if you can see the the sneaky little people that are getting into the perimeter up there - but stationary cameras don't necessarily do a good job. They only point in a specific certain direction, and that's all they can do is just recognize what's happening.

We do have a system or pilot program that we're partnering with Scylla and working with the Bluegrass Army Depot that can go out there and set a trigger from a legacy camera that will immediately notify the drone. It'll launch to where that incident has been seen. It'll go get eyes on the scene using thermal. It can see through the smoke. It can understand whether somebody is actually being nefarious or just someone has wandered into the wrong area and respond immediately. And with the Scylla system, for example, it can trigger the sensors aboard the X10D to use AI to decipher if someone's holding a weapon, cutting a fence, or they're actually determining what they're doing through detection of AI so that you can show up on time with the right resources and a much faster method to address the issue.

So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Lee to get into more of the details of how all this comes together.

Thanks, Greg.

Just as Greg mentioned, there's a lot of stuff we can do. A lot of times though you can't get there from day one. So what we like to do as we work with customers is understand where they are in the maturity model of their program. A lot of times we're working with customers who have what we call more the traditional operations. That's where you're still working with those stationary cameras Greg mentioned that we want to integrate into the solution along with a lot of foot patrols and high dollar, people resources.

Then we're starting to see some of our customers start to adopt having one pilot to one drone. They can cover more ground, do perimeter sweeps, making their folks more productive. And then when we're coming in with a lot of customers is actually starting with our initial dock and remote ops. That's generally where you have one pilot managing one, two, three, four docks on a single facility.

And then what you're able to do is start to automate submissions. You get a wider field of view. You can respond to some things faster. And then where we ultimately want to bring our customers is to have that one pilot managing not only multiple docks, but multiple docks at multiple locations.

And that's when you really start to get some of those efficiencies as well. The second part that Greg mentioned is we want to use these docks to be multipurpose. They can do asset inspections along with perimeter patrols. They can respond.

You just have a lot of optionality with what to do with them - we'll show you a little bit of that today.

So just a little bit of how we think about our solutions and responding to a mission. There's usually something that's going to initiate a flight, as Greg mentioned. Maybe you have a camera hooked up to Scylla, and it detects a fence breach.

That's going to go to the plan stage, which will allow you to trigger and take off. We'll show you that today. While you're flying, you get to capture all that information and process it real time. You may want to be integrated into, something like TAK, so you have that single pane of glass view of all your operations.

Next up will be the synthesize piece. This can happen in real time while you're flying, or it can happen post event in a situation where you've done an asset inspection and you want to really review that. And then finally, deliver. That's how you respond. That's if you have that incident, maybe you can clear a call. In public safety, we see twenty percent of all calls cleared just with the drone alone.

If not, that alert may need to send somebody. So then you're dispatching the right personnel for the right situation.

Alright. It's more fun to talk about how this works in practice. I'll go through two quick examples here. One, this is a large concert and venue owner that you probably have all known and been to.

They're using dock operations to do multiple things across the security of their facilities. Generally, it starts out with traffic monitoring as guests are arriving at a concert. Then, during the tailgate section, they're using drones to monitor the parking lot, respond to any incidents because things do happen, and just generally give them more coverage. During the event, they're doing sweeps.

And then finally, post event, they are able to make sure their guests get out safely. They've had some incidents where people get lost in some of their large facilities, jump fence lines. So they run sweeps around the perimeter at night using thermal just to make sure all their guests got back and nothing goes wrong, nothing goes too bad.

Next up, we have one of those large data providers.

You can probably guess, there's about three of them out there. But we have one of them that's using Skydio, remote ops to do things like when VIPs visit facilities. They run security checks, run oversight. And then they go through all five hundred of their facilities, and they do their security checks primarily with drones. That's checking fence lines, locks, doors, access points, and just making sure the facility meets all their high safety and security standards.

Alright. I want to get us to the fun part of this, but I have a couple more slides. I want to talk a little bit about the Skydio solution. On the hardware, which we'll show you today, you have our dock and our X10.

Those two things work together with the remote ops software, which you'll see, which allows you to pilot from pretty much anywhere you have a browser. So you can set up a command center, from your desk, or you can use a multipurpose facility, anywhere you want. And then finally, and the big differentiator for Skydio, is our services.

We're going to make sure that you're deployed properly and that you're trained so that your folks can start getting operational value from day one.

Next up, we'll make sure you're well maintained. We offer maintenance services and customer support. So if you have any questions, you can reach us here in the US.

We are easy to reach, fast to respond, and then we make sure you're up and running so you can complete your missions.

A little bit about what we'll be showing today is how we want to make sure as you're running those missions, you need to get there fast.

We can put the docks in a ready state so you can get airborne in less than twenty seconds.

To operate some of those autonomous operations. in a big facility, you'll want to map out that facility, have a bunch of pre-planned patrols you can run. Those can be run on a schedule, and we can also randomize the schedule so people don't get used to certain timings.

We want to give you situational awareness, not only for the pilot, but for the folks around you. So we're going to show you some live streaming capabilities as well. And then you want to operate with context. We'll show you some different views that allow your pilots to understand where they are in the environment, some cool AR overlays that allow you to see streets, addresses, things like that.

And then finally, it's that multi force multiplication.

The regulatory environment is starting to clear up. We're getting right now, it's generally one pilot to one drone, but we're working close with the FAA and other regulatory bodies to unlock one pilot controlling multiple drones. Skydio has already won a couple of great waivers where we'll be able to do this and test it, and then we're going to work hard to get that out to our customer base.

And live streaming, I'm not going to spend any time here because we're going to let you try it. As we fly this mission, we're going to flash up a QR code that you'll be able to scan and then, watch along on your cell phone.

Now my last two slides. Deployment models. Skydio is deployed over the cloud, dock remote ops all connected, SOC Type II compliance, with full end to end encryption. We know our customers and some of our federal agencies need that extra layer of security and want some air gap or on premise models. So we have a local network architecture that allows us to deploy in the environment that you prefer.

I know I talked fast mainly because I wanted to get to this demo. So I'm going to hand it over to Taylor. Just to set the stage, obviously, we're not a base.

We're a company located in San Mateo. We're going use our HQ as the example today. We're going to need to secure our perimeter. We work on some fancy drone technology, so we want to keep an eye out on things.

With that, Taylor, who is actually based in Tampa, some 2800 miles away, is going to execute this mission.

Taylor, over to you.

Alright. Thanks, Lee. So before we get into the actual flying portion of the demo, I wanted to give you a quick tour of our DFR command center.

Here's the dock that we're going to be flying today. We call it beehive zero three three.

And you can see I'm the active pilot for this along with the gimbal. Here on the map, this blue dot shows where our dock is. If you have multiple docks, you can always zoom out on the map and see where they are here.

On the left, you also have the dock camera. So there's actually three cameras that are on the dock in which we once we get into it, I'll be able to show you all of those. The docks also come with a weather station so we can see our real time weather of the dock. Beautiful day, it looks like, in San Mateo, California this morning. And, here's our flight history.

Lee had mentioned earlier about being able to do preplanned missions. You can do that in the missions tab as well as view your media and lots of other things which unfortunately we won't be able to get to everything today. But let's get to the good part, the dock demo. So right now, I'm going to go ahead and hit launch on the dock, and then I'm going to switch to the dock view.

What's going to happen is the dock's going to take off, and it's going to do a three hundred and sixty degree turn to calibrate its compass. But while it's doing that, I'll give you a quick little tour of our flight center here. So on the right, we have our map and we have a few markers here on the map. This green outline is our flight inclusion area.

So that is where the dock is allowed to fly. You can also put in an exclusion area as well.

You will also notice that we have a couple of these markers. In this particular case, these are Axon body cameras that are attached to people, so you can see where they are and actually fly the drone to that person. Through an API, this can work with other sensors as well. This doesn't have to be an Axon body camera specifically.

You can also see here where the dock is. And then this marker out here is actually a 911 call that we got. So if we look over here on the left, these are what are we call our map markers, and these can be ingested also through our API. So here at the bottom, we have a suspicious person at the motor pool.

It looks like a theft is happening at the PX, and then we have a traffic stop, somebody going 36 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone. But this morning, we're going to go investigate this suspicious person near the PT field over here in this area. So I'm just going to hover, and I'm going to click respond to the incident, and the drone's going to autonomously fly over to the incident. The other thing I want to point out as well is that this drone, this dock is in San Mateo, California, and I'm 2800 miles away in Tampa, Florida, flying this over a network.

And as you can see, while we're flying to the dock, you have this blue AR observer marker. That's going to show you where the marker is, where the the drone is flying to, in real time. And then let's see if we can find our subject here. I'm going to go ahead and make this view larger.

Go to video. Okay.

And then let's see. We're going to look around a little bit, see if we can find our subjects. And I'll go ahead and go up a little bit higher. There we go. Looking around looking around. We should see them shortly. We want to try a thermal sweep as well.

Let's see if we can find our subject here.

The feature I'm using right now is called pointer lock. So all I have to do is move my mouse around, and I can scroll around on the view, and get whatever in the camera view just using my mouse here. Let's see. I'm going to go up a little higher.

Let's see.

Oh, I think I found the subject.

Let's see. I see this individual walking through the woods. Let's look, put on the color view, and we'll zoom in. Oh, there they are. Right over here. So this suspicious person, it looks like you know what? This looks like just a very motivated soldier that got a little lost trying to get PT this morning.

So we'll go ahead and call off this call and do a little bit of a perimeter sweep to see, if there's any other suspicious stuff in the area while I'm over here. And, again, I'll just use the pointer view, the pointer lock, excuse me, just to scroll around. I'm just moving my mouse very, very gently looking around, like that. Now, one thing that we can do as well is we go back to our split view.

We can open up our map, and I can actually right click on the map and say fly here now. I'm going to go ahead and do that. Click on fly here, and the drone's going to fly to that point and give us a view.

At any point during a mission, you can always stop and take control of the drone manually if you see something that you want to look at. I'm actually going to come down here and look at the license plate on this car.

Seems like a good point of interest. So you can zoom in and look at a license plate. You know, I could report this over to the military police or the security forces or whoever is doing base security at this time. So before we I hand it back over to Greg and Lee. Are there any questions from the audience?

We're happy to take any questions - post them in the chat. I think we've shown a couple of great scenes. One, we have kind of a little suspect call.

We're able to locate them using thermal, nice power of thermal use to see that. And then you have the ability to zoom in, really capture things from far away. And what's great is our drones are really quiet too. So we're flying at, I believe, just over or just around a hundred feet, and from a few hundred yards away, virtually silent.

So you're able to capture the intel you need and make those decisions.

Alright. I'm not seeing any questions in the queue. Greg, are you?

We have a few. I wanted to throw one out there just as we were talking about thermal to find that, lost soldier in the woods.

One of the capabilities that we have with the X10, and since it has the FLIR Boson, it has advanced thermal capabilities.

We didn't really get the opportunity to do it today, but you can set triggers for thermal offsets. So you're using your mind's eye or your imagination or your experience to find that person like we did with thermal. You can also set up differentials on that camera so that you can have the actual temperature set up. So you recognize something that's 98.6 degrees, for example, and the rest of the trees around it are not. You're going to more easily and quickly find that person. So there's advanced capabilities besides just the remote operations that allow you to do the job much more effectively for perimeter security.

I do have a couple questions. One of the questions that came in was, can our remote operations integrate with existing system like motion sensors or cameras or alarm system? I think, Lee, you covered this a little bit with Scylla, but do you have any more depth on that?

I can cover that a bit more. There are a lot of things you can do with Skydio, and we want to have that open platform to make it easy to connect your devices.

We're just one spoke in your security chain. So what we want to do is make sure we have a full set of APIs, published documentation, and we have a full set of ICDs. So if you have some IT folks who are familiar with those, you can build your own. We also have a lot of partners with some out of the box integrations.

I know some federal customers are using Axon. We have a tight integration with Axon today. We can get you into their FUSIS products, body cams, and evidence dot com, seamlessly.

And we also have some professional services so we can help you build those integrations you need.

This might have been what sparked the question, but you talked about waivers.

One of the questions that came in was asking about BVLOS or beyond visual line of sight.

How does Skydio address those right now? Can can we help people? I think it's basically what the question's getting at. And when it comes to regulatory challenges with drones, unless you're in New Jersey and there's just drones everywhere. But other than that, what does Badio help with?

Taking New Jersey out of the equation. We have a fully staffed regulatory team here at Skydio.

If you're under the jurisdiction of the FAA and flying as a lot of our customers are, some of our defense agencies have different sets of rules. But if you're flying to the SAA and you're civil partners, we help you obtain what we call Part 107 waivers. Part 107 is what regulates the US UAS industry.

Skydio has been a groundbreaker here. We have attained well over fifty BVLOS waivers. BVLOS is beyond visual line of sight, which means that's how we're operating today. Taylor is twenty eight hundred miles away, but we have a waiver in place at our headquarters, which allows us to fly beyond that visual line of sight. And we win a lot of those waivers because of the Skydio technology.

And part of that's our obstacle avoidance. You can fly a Skydio drone confidently knowing it's not going to hit anything. It allows you to focus on the flight. And then it's also the software we have built, there's a ADS-B sensor on the drone so it can see other aircraft in the area.

If we would have had an aircraft fly over us while we're doing this, we would have been alerted. So it's those type of features that allow us to get those waivers.

We're betting a thousand percent when it comes to helping customers attain those waivers and really break some ground in BVLOS flight.

Okay. Thanks. What we say at Skydio is it's easy to fly, it's hard to crash. But one of the questions was about training.

Obviously, Taylor makes it look easy. She's got thousands of drone flight hours, and she understands the system, for remote ops. But what does Skydio do with regard to training? How hard is it to get trained up on not only this system, but just flying the X10, for example?

One of the things I think is great about Skydio - and I came in the drone industry without the same experience as Taylor so I was kind of a newbie. You can actually get up and flying in an afternoon with Skydio. However, we do have a deeper, training class when we come on-site, help you deploy. We provide a 2-3 day training depending on what your goals are. We will help you understand how to build all your mission sets, run it autonomously, and of course, get those flight hours in. You're up in operational value in a day if you want it to be.

This this question's for me. It's a combination of a number of the questions that we have. We mentioned, Scylla and the Bluegrass Army Depot and the ability to integrate with other systems. So, Lee, can you give just a little bit more depth on how all those sensors come into play? Like, how does that work when it comes to remote security, perimeter security, intrusion detection? It's great that you have an AI system or you have existing cameras, but how does the drone dot combination make all that come together from a sensor point of view?

My point of view is it's the sensors that bring everything to life. At the end of the day, what we do is we have a camera in the sky that gives you different angles than what you've previously had. But you still need some kind of workflows to make that come to life.

One way to do that is on the front end with a company like Scylla, since we're using that as an example today. They're looking and using AI to view your fixed camera positions, and then they have AI that recognizes that. We can do the same thing with the drone. So if you're flying one of those perimeter sweeps, it triggers, then that gives the pilot ability to say, hey, there's a trigger.

Rather than trying to see everything as it comes in your eyes - you're going to miss things. So it's those type of tools that help people be more efficient. And then also, it's your single pane of glass while you're flying.

So we want to integrate with the TAK systems, make sure all your feeds are coming into one place and we don't overburden the pilot from a cognitive load. On the backside, we can go to how you want to do post processing. A lot of this stuff is real time.

You can dispatch folks based on what happens. The second part is if you're doing multi use, maybe you're doing an asset inspection or a 2D map. You're going to want to send that to one of your third party tools, and we can facilitate that integration. We work with Pix4d Capture, and a bunch more, and you can bring that stuff out.

Alright. I think that covers that question. But I do want to hand it back to Taylor so she can maybe, come and land. I know she's been flying around and hovering, so we can let her take us home.

To return to the dock, it's very simple. Hit the little house return, and then the drone and the dock are going to do the rest.

It's going to fly to the dock. The dock's going to open its doors. The drone's going to land, and then it's going to close its doors and immediately start charging. So very simple to operate, very simple to maintain.

And like we talked about earlier, the training is very easy as well. So I'm going to switch to the dock view. This is the inside of the dock view.

And you can see the drone landing inside of the dock, and the door is going to close on top of that, and then we'll be able to exit, and the data will automatically upload to the Skydio cloud.

So that's all for me. Over.

Alright. Thanks, Taylor.

I think we got two more slides and then Greg can tell us if any more questions have come in. Love the demonstration.

You obviously saw our new dock and the X10D.

Definitely out there flying missions. But we're launching all that new stuff, sometime around the summer time frame, but we've been out there. Skydio already has 400 of our prior generation docks out in the field flying missions. We've done over a 100,000 missions with customers. That's not us. That's customers that are using this to do those security missions, using it to take inventory, do inspections, all from dock-based remote operations.

My last slide is just a couple examples of who we're working with. Every branch of the military, 13 allied nations, critical infrastructure companies - power, oil, gas, public safety agencies across the country, and transportation engineering firms as well.

We support the mission of keeping America safe and helping keep our infrastructure moving through asset inspections, maintenance, and response and remediation.

So with that, I get to hand it over to Greg.

Thanks, Lee. And, I apologize to the audience. I got carried away with questions, and we we stopped the flow. But, hopefully, we gave some good information there. We did, in the meantime, get one or two more questions.

One of them is more technical for you, Lee. It's about the two types of network connections. I think the question was more about security, but it's generally talking about the cloud infrastructure. We have a lot of defense customers that that need to have an on premise capability.

Is there any way you can give a little bit more depth on that kind of configuration when it comes to defense customers?

It's the deployment model you want to pick, and we're we're happy to meet that for our defense customers. So specific to defense, and federal customers, we have what we call local area network architecture or on premise model. That allows you to install all of Skydio remote ops on your own premise and maintain that in an air gap fashion from the Internet, giving you that ultimate security.

Some of the federal agencies that we work with, however, can be on a cloud-based system, and they may want to choose that for a different set of reasons.

Even so we're SOC Type II compliant. We have end to end encryption, and we have a bunch of documentation we can send out after that call to let you understand where we are in that security coverage.

Well that was most of the questions. Taylor or Lee, was there anything else that you thought might be a good question or if there's anything else you want to add before we end now?

No. I'm good from my side. I like the questions that come in. Greg, I know you've been there and done this.

Any of your thoughts you want to add?

I would say one. As I was noticing the demo, one thing that came to mind - command and control is obviously an important thing when it comes to either public safety or defense. The ability to understand what's going on and make decisions, but also to react in real time. One of the things that we didn't demonstrate, but which is capable because we do have this BVLOS, is to be able to commandeer the aircraft.

So if there was a problem with Taylor's system and she could no longer fly or she lost connection, that drone is still there. It's still flying, and Lee could still see it. So Lee could take over that aircraft from his location, which is on the completely other coast of the United States, and fly that drone seamlessly. So that works great for a command and control, a command operation center, being able to have multiple units and levels of command and control and hierarchy.

You can still commandeer that asset because it belongs to the particular mission that you're on. So that's a really cool capability that really extends the opportunity to do remote ops from anywhere within any number of people, which goes back to that force multiplication problem that you talked about, Lee.

I wanted to thank both Taylor for the great demo and Lee for all the great information and for everyone that joined us today on the webinar. If you do have any questions afterwards, please reach out, and we'll do everything we can to get your answers quickly and in the most complete fashion. We will be sending out a copy of the recording. And if you do want a copy of the slides, we did get some requests for that - we're happy to send those as well.

Thank you everyone for taking time out of the day your day to join us.
