Which Skills and Features Are Available in the Skydio Enterprise app?
The Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Foundation (AEF) is a software add-on to the Skydio Enterprise app that gives enterprise users new skills and functionality which enhance situational awareness and enterprise inspection missions. It’s available as an add-on software package to a Skydio drone (Skydio 2 and X2 are supported). We aren’t publicly sharing the pricing at this time. A Skydio Sales Representative can help you order the software and discuss available options.
Skydio Enterprise Skills
With the Skydio Enterprise app, you have a range of control over your Skydio AEF features via a unique set of flight skills. Simply choose your skill and put your drone to the task—Skydio 2 knows what to film and will intelligently fly itself to get the best shot.
Here are the current skills available in the Skydio Enterprise app:
![]() MANUAL |
Use this skill any time you want the traditional flying experience using on-screen controls or the Skydio Controller. |
![]() CABLE |
This powerful skill allows you to mark two points in the sky and have Skydio 2 fly along a fixed path between them. You can choose to track a subject while Skydio 2 is on this fixed path. Also available in the Skydio 2 (“consumer”) app. |
![]() WAYPOINTS |
Create and execute multi-waypoint GPS missions. |
![]() TRACK |
Skydio 2 will hover in a fixed position, as if affixed to a virtual tripod, rotating and tilting the camera to look at the subject as they move. |
![]() ORBIT POINT |
Skydio 2 will rotate around a user-selected point-of-interest in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, keeping the point in the center of the frame. |
