Skydio Release Notes (X10D) firmware v43.152.32

Skydio X10D MH & SL Vehicle version 43.152.32

Skydio X10D MH & SL Controller version 46.46.49

ATO Approval Release Date 1 July 2026

ISR Manager Skydio ISR Manager, formerly Fleet Manager for offline drones, is designed for enterprise and defense organizations. It helps teams manage terrain data and software updates across their drone fleets while maintaining their preferred data-sharing controls.

• Replaces Fleet Manager for Offline Drones
• Adds Download Terrain Data feature
• Streamlines access to updates

Download Terrain Data from ISR Manager Terrain data regions are now available in the Skydio ISR Manager for download and loading onto the drone media SD card.

The X10D will automatically ingest the terrain data it needs from the continent-scale DTED dataset stored on the media SD card.

As it plans and executes missions, the aircraft checks its current position and route, loads the relevant DTED tiles, and maintains a rolling cache of nearby terrain.

X10D automatically imports DTED data within a 10 km radius of the launch site.

This provides sufficient terrain coverage for flights up to 10 km without requiring operators to manually manage terrain files.

It also helps prevent storage limitations or DTED coverage gaps during a mission.

Download regional terrain data sets from the ISR Manager.

Download the ZIP file for each required terrain data region.

Expand the downloaded ZIP file, then copy the folder it creates into the DTED folder on the vehicle SD card.

You can keep multiple region folders inside the DTED folder to organize your terrain data.

TAK Integration on Skydio Flight Deck Skydio Flight Deck now supports native TAK workflows for X10D ISR operations.

Operators can send and receive CoT messages, display standard TAK symbology, share drone, controller, and crosshair positions, and work with TAK markers directly from th​e flight interface.

This turns TAK markers into actionable ISR points that operators can view, create, edit, share, watch, or fly to with standoff without leaving the Skydio flight experience.

For teams with established ATAK / UAS Tool workflows, unkiosked X10D controllers also include supported ATAK and UAS Tool components pre-installed.

This provides a separate ATAK-based flight path when the mission requires it, while preserving the native Skydio Flight Deck workflow.

TAK Markers and Shared Situational Awareness

Info: Visit How to use TAK Markers on Skydio X10D for detailed instructions. Share Drone and Controller Markers Operators can now share drone and controller markers to TAK from the TAK/CoT menu. Supported shared markers include:

• Vehicle position
• Controller position
• Crosshair position

Operators can customize drone and controller callsigns before sharing.

Operators can create TAK markers in several ways: Add TAK Marker at Crosshair: Operators can create a TAK marker at the current crosshair ground location using either a controller button mapping or the Add TAK Marker quick action.

Add TAK Marker at Coordinate: Operators can add TAK markers using Lat/Long, MGRS, or UTM coordinates.

The marker type must be selected before choosing Add at Coordinate.

Adding a TAK marker does not automatically move the map.

Operators can use the Center on coordinate button to verify the coordinate location before adding the marker.

This workflow is available before launch when a vehicle is connected.

If on-screen controls are obscured by the keyboard, operators can press the Enter key to proceed.

Add TAK Marker at Map Point: Operators can long-press on a map point, select the Add TAK Marker submenu, and choose a marker type.

This workflow requires terrain data for AR overlays.

Subject Tracking TAK Markers: Subject tracking can now publish TAK markers for tracked subjects.

Operators can configure whether tracked subjects are shared as all, selected, or none.

Subject tracking auto-markers start as Unknown.

Move and Edit TAK Markers: Operators can edit TAK markers created locally or received from the network.

This includes changing the marker callsign, type, and details.

Operators can also move a TAK marker by long-pressing the marker and dragging it to a new location.

TAK Marker Behavior Any TAK marker created in the Enterprise App / ISR Command is immediately shared on the network.

This provides no-friction sharing and differs from ATAK’s implementation.

Operators always select the marker type before creating a TAK marker, consistent with ATAK conventions.

Any TAK marker, whether created or received, can be edited.

The system supports markers:

• Friendly
• Hostile
• Neutral
• Unknown ground markers
• Any MIL-STD-2525C marker received from a third-party device.

ATAK and UAS​ Tool Support on Unkiosked Controllers The X10D controller comes ready to support your preferred mission workflow, with both the Skydio Enterprise App and the ATAK UAS Tool available directly from the home screen.

Skydio validates supported ATAK/UAS Tool versions against our aircraft compatibility matrix to help ensure reliable video, aircraft control, and mission data performance.

Allowing operators the flexibility to fly using the Skydio Flight Deck or ATAK/UAS Tool on the same hardware, without switching controllers or compromising mission readiness.

Watch and Standoff Autonomy Watch This release introduces new Watch capabilities for ISR workflows, enabling operators to keep the camera focused on mission-relevant markers or locations while continuing to fly the aircraft.

Together, these capabilities improve ISR workflows by separating camera-pointing intent from aircraft navigation.

Operators can keep sensors trained on important markers or locations while continuing autonomous flight, flying to standoff positions, or managing mission context from the map.

Watch controls camera pointing, not flight path
