Skydio extends its modular, open platform to support custom attachments for X10D

Published

on

SAN MATEO Calif., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Skydio, the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and world leader in autonomous flight, today announced the availability of its Interface Control Document (ICD) for X10D payload attachments. Building on the modular, open platform of Skydio X10D, the Attachment ICD enables third parties to build payload attachments that extend the drone’s capabilities to further meet mission requirements.

Skydio X10D, which started delivery last year in full-rate production, is ideal for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications critical to defense and government agencies. Defense customers have a myriad of requirements for missions on and off the battlefield, and Skydio offers optional attachments including Spotlight, Speaker, RTK/PPK, Parachute, and the industry’s first attachment enabling autonomous flight in zero-light conditions – NightSense. With the Attachment ICD, defense and government customers and partners can enable these capabilities on X10D.

Examples of custom attachments include:

Payload Delivery and Dropper devicesRadio and Signal Relay devicesElectronic Warfare (EW) or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Signal Detection devicesChemical Detection devicesDiversionary devices

X10D has four payload attachment bays capable of delivering up to 50 watts of power each. The Attachment Detection Protocol ensures that attachments are correctly enabled, powered, and managed by the X10D. In future versions, Skydio will support multiple attachment profiles that load the appropriate software to smoothly integrate different payload types into the X10D’s existing systems. Example profiles include MAVLink and networking devices.

Skydio partners L3Harris Technologies Inc. and Elsight have already conducted successful tests with custom external payloads using the Attachment ICD.

The L3Harris RF-9820S-ER is a versatile, low-SWaP Software Defined Radio (SDR), interoperable with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program of record radios, and runs the resilient Wraith™ waveform that has proven GPS denied and anti-jam resilience. An initial 2-day integration event with L3Harris culminated in a successful test flight of X10D using C2 and video over the L3Harris RF-9820S-ER.

 “Bringing together Skydio’s X10D with L3Harris’ embeddable radio running the Wraith™ waveform, we have created a highly capable unmanned platform that can confidently operate in GPS-denied and jammed environments,” said Bob Daminski, Director of Unmanned Systems at L3Harris.

The Elsight Halo provides Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) connectivity for drones, UAVs, and other uncrewed systems. The Halo uses aggregated bonding of multiple cellular modems simultaneously to manage a continuous connection with all available connectivity options from cellular, radio, and satellite sources. Skydio and Elsight have successfully flown the X10D with all C2 and video over the Elsight Halo.

“Our battlefield-proven Halo for BVLOS connectivity enables military field operations to maintain communications in areas of minimal infrastructure, avoid interference and jamming, and control the system remotely from anywhere in the world,” said Yoav Amitai, CEO of Elsight. “We are excited to be a part of Skydio’s extended, modular, open platform of the X10D. We look forward to contributing our robust and innovative BVLOS capabilities to many U.S. defense applications and exercises.”

Over the past five years, Skydio drones have been chosen by every branch of the U.S. Department of Defense, plus those of 25 allied nations.

“We are committed to serving the needs of the U.S. military and our allies. With this Attachment ICD, these organizations can now adapt the Skydio X10D to the specific requirements of their mission,” said Ryan Reading, Vice President of Engineering at Skydio. “Our vision is to build a platform that can be rapidly adapted by developers and integrators to meet the needs of military users.  This action builds on the modularity and openness that is the foundation of the Skydio X10D platform.”

Skydio X10D delivers the best of human-machine teaming with capabilities including:

Unparalleled sensor technology, advanced autonomous navigation, and a modular, open architecture that is critical for the dynamic nature of military requirements.Resiliency in the face of electronic warfareRapid deployment at scale, drawing on Skydio’s proven record of shipping more than 45,000 drones.Dual-use benefits with Skydio X10 serving the demands of over 2,500 commercial and public organizations every day.

With artificial intelligence and autonomous navigation, Skydio X10D features 360-degree obstacle detection, modular payload options, and robust cybersecurity protections. Its lightweight, rugged design ensures reliability in the most challenging environments, while its adaptability supports future mission requirements.

Mili and Egnyte Partner to put Client Documents to work in Financial Advice

Published

By

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.
