SkyfireAI and DBOX plan a U.S. autonomous-drone integration demonstration

SkyfireAI and Lithuania-based DBOX signed an MOU to work on integrated autonomous drone operations in the United States, with Drone Nerds and XTI Aerospace involved in the broader integration effort. The group says it plans a demonstration in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Remote autonomy is a system problem. Aircraft, dock, command software, communications, safety logic, operator procedures and regulatory authority all have to work together.

This is an integration plan, not a completed deployment. The useful evidence will be the aircraft used, regulatory basis, recovery modes, communications architecture and what the demonstration actually proves.
