The Skydio and Axon Fusus partnership sets the public safety standard by integrating live drone footage into a unified platform to transform decision-making.

How it works

The Skydio drone transmits video and telemetry data in near real-time to the FususONE platform. This transmission is facilitated by Skydio Cloud. The integrated data feed is then visualized on the FususONE map interface, providing users with a comprehensive view of the situation on the ground for enhanced situational awareness and more effective decision-making.

For Skydio flights in the FususONE Map you will receive:

  • Real-time alert notifications
  • Automatic alert placement on your Fusus Map
  • Live tracking updates
  • Live video streaming
  • Color and thermal (if available)

The integration provides support for following drone types:

  • Skydio X10
  • Skydio X2
  • Skydio 2+

Integration requirements:

  • Skydio Administrative access
  • Fusus Administrative access
  • Computer with Internet
  • Skydio Live Streaming license
