Critical Security Update: Expedite Your Fleet Upgrade
A critical security vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432, CVSS 9.8) has been discovered in Linux, a widely used operating system that powers devices and infrastructure across many industries, including Skydio products. This is an industry-wide vulnerability, not an issue unique to Skydio.
Skydio has developed security fixes to address this vulnerability in the latest software release, Earhart. Given the severity of the issue and the potential for publicly available exploits, we strongly recommend updating your entire Skydio fleet immediately.
[/warning]
This release introduces AR street overlays, a fleet view on the controller map, and Operations on the controller, along with bug fixes and stability improvements.
AR Street Overlays on the Controller
Platforms: Controllers/X10, R10
Pilots can now turn on AR Streets to overlay street outlines, street names, addresses, and points of interest on the controller's color video feed, matching the street overlay in Remote Flight Deck. The overlay is hidden while the drone is on the ground and fades out when its alignment with the video is no longer reliable.
AR Streets is not available on the thermal video feed.
AR Streets is a visual reference only. Do not use it to navigate or to judge distance to obstacles.
Get Started
Turn AR Streets on or off from the Augmented Reality quick action, or from Settings > Augmented Reality > AR Streets.
See Other Flying Drones on the Controller Map
Platforms: Controllers/X10, R10
The controller map now shows the other drones in your organization that are currently flying, with each drone's location and, when the altitude of both drones is available, its altitude relative to your drone. Other Pilots' drones are styled differently from your own, matching Remote Flight Deck, so Pilots can coordinate with the rest of the fleet without leaving the controller.
Zoom in on the map if relative altitude is not shown. When coordinates are turned on, each drone's position is shown in the selected coordinate system. Fleet Drones is for situational awareness only; do not rely on the map to keep separation from other drones.
Get Started
Open Map Settings > Layers and turn on Fleet Drones. The layer selection is remembered on the controller.
Operations on the Controller
Platforms: Controllers/X10, R10
Pilots can now work with Operations directly from the controller. Open the Operations panel from Dispatch to find an operation, see its incidents and drones, and add or remove a drone.
- Search Operations and sort them by Event Start, Last Update, or Closest to Drone.
- Browse My Operation, Active, Inactive, and Closed operations.
Additional Improvements
- Smoother SkydioLink video — Video bitrate now adapts more smoothly to link conditions, delivering higher quality at close range and a more gradual reduction as the connection weakens
- Controller app renamed Skydio Flight Deck — The controller app formerly named Skydio Enterprise is now Skydio Flight Deck. The new name appears on the controller home screen, in Android settings, and in notifications
- Correction: Standoff Distance default and range — On Skydio R10, Standoff Distance defaults to 164 ft (50 m) and can be set up to 1,640 ft (500 m), not off with a 1,000 ft (304.8 m) maximum as previously described. Set 0 ft to turn it off under Global Settings → Flight Controls → Limits
