Skydio is the only American drone manufacturer competing on capability with DJI. The 2+ matters because it's approved for sensitive government and defense applications where DJI is prohibited — and because its autonomous tracking is genuinely better than any competitor.
The 6-camera obstacle avoidance system and NVIDIA Jetson TX2 compute allow the Skydio to track a subject through trees, buildings, and complex terrain where DJI's tracking fails. For dynamic security applications — following an intruder across a property — nothing competes.
NDAA compliant. No Chinese-manufactured components. Approved for DoD, federal agencies, and state/local law enforcement where Chinese-made drones are prohibited. This matters increasingly as drone restriction policies expand.
If you need autonomous tracking capability or operate in a Chinese-drone-restricted environment, the Skydio 2+ is the platform. The tracking is world-class; the price reflects it.
