Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. Specifications include, but are not limited to: Skydio Autonomy Enterprise for S2+ and X2E (6 each) - annual renewal; Skydio is an US based drone manufacturing company that is used in ASSUREd Safe First Responder training courses currently funded by FEMA and NIST. The Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Software license (obtained directly from Skydio) unlocks a broad set of advanced AI-pilot assistance capabilities for enterprise and public sector operators computing. Renewal is required on an annual basis in order to have continued access to licenses, support, and upgrades. Without renewal, our ability to leverage Skydio’s autonomous capabilities may be impacted. For example, if Skydio Autonomy Enterprise expires, the camera gimbal will lose dome functionality and the drone will be unable to decrease its obstacle avoidance bubble or utilize 2D Map Capture. At initial purchase, staff compared functionality, features, and support. They determined this platform and software to be the most feasible of the US based drone manufactures to support learning objectives and training goals.
