Daily briefing

F10's sensor package is aimed at standoff inspection and response

Skydio lists a 48 MP telephoto camera, 64 MP narrow camera and FLIR Boson+ 640 x 512 radiometric thermal imager. The aircraft also uses six navigation cameras for daytime 360-degree obstacle sensing.

A long-range aircraft is useful only if its payload can resolve the target from the altitude and stand-off distance required by the mission.

For inspection work, compare ground sample distance, thermal measurement requirements and viewing geometry at the planned altitude rather than camera megapixels alone.
