U.S. drone manufacturer Skydio has reached a new milestone, with its aircraft now deployed in more than 1,000 public safety agencies across the country. The company shared the news with Dronelife and noted that agencies range from major departments such as the New York Police Department and the San Francisco Police Department to small rural organizations that rely on drones to support limited staffing. The scale of adoption reflects a shift that has accelerated across the past year as more agencies integrate drones into frontline response. The announcement comes as public safety drone programs adapt to major changes in state and federal policy. Skydio, founded in 2014, is one of the U.S. manufacturers positioned to support this demand. The company has one of the more mature domestic manufacturing bases among NDAA-compliant drone makers, having steadily expanded production capacity after starting production in the U.S. Its ability to deliver aircraft at scale has become increasingly relevant as agencies transition away from platforms they may no longer be able to purchase with public funding. Technology advancements are also influencing how agencies design future aviation workflows. Skydio recently announced functionality that allows one operator to manage multiple drones at once. This capability could help departments respond more quickly to calls by launching several drones from different sites, giving operators broader coverage with fewer personnel.
