AirData UAV, the leading provider of flight data management, today announced a new technology partnership with Skydio, the leading manufacturer of drones and autonomous flights. This new partnership enables the integration of Skydio Cloud with AirData’s robust fleet management platform, offering customers a complete fleet management solution.
“We have used AirData for the last few years and more recently introduced the Skydio platform to our fleet,” said David Roberts, Oklahoma City Police Department. “AirData and Skydio offer unique capabilities that are critical to our team’s mission and we are excited about the new integration and its ease of use.”
Skydio sees extensive use in businesses and the public sector and is an industry leader in autonomous drone technology. This new integration with Skydio Cloud will further enhance AirData’s ability to serve customers and their fleets, while providing Skydio customers with a reliable way to track and manage their fleets, manage compliance and maintenance, and mitigate risk.
“AirData is excited to partner with Skydio to bring the autonomous drone powerhouse to our platform now,” said AirData Founder and CEO Eran Steiner. “AirData and Skydio share the pursuit of a safer and smarter drone ecosystem, and we look forward to working together to focus on raising flight awareness and enabling safer and more efficient operations.”
AirData automatically retrieves flight data from Skydio 2, Skydio X2 and Skydio 2+ via an API-driven integration, meeting compliance requirements, detecting early signs of problems to avoid surprises, while tracking maintenance and providing users with detailed operational reports .
Additionally, Skydio pilots will soon have the ability to live stream footage from their Skydio drone to the AirData platform without additional hardware. The easy-to-use interface offers 1 second latency over standard mobile hotspots and provides real-time visibility for remote viewers.
