IMPROVEMENTS

MAVLink / RAS-A Updates

Improvements to the Skydio X2D MAVLink interface to support compliance with RAS-A v1.1 and beginning to support RAS-A v1.2.

Skydio X2D 5 GHz Hidden SSID

The Skydio X2D 5 GHz SSID will now be hidden while in flight. Your drone's name will not be publicly visible to people trying to find a WiFi network. Access to the network was and ​will remain password protected, but this improvement will reduce the ease of detection in an area of operation.

Remove Geofence from Skydio QGC

Previously, a geofence could be drawn and displayed in Skydio QGC, but the geofence boundaries were not honored. Operators are now prevented from drawing a geofence, ensuring a more intuitive user experience.

Removal of Band M1 - 1.6 GHz / channels 1700-1725 MHz

Through rigorous testing of the Skydio X2D Multiband, Skydio found that leveraging frequencies in the M1 band desensitizes the GPS module, resulting in poor GPS quality and a degraded flight. As a result, the M1 band has been removed from the Skydio X2D Multiband list of selectable bands.

FIXES & ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

Panorama and encrypted media

Previously, when media was encrypted, panorama images were not generated using the Skydio Panorama skill.

The issue has been resolved, an​d the workflow has been refined to enable users leveraging media encryption to produce panoramas.

After landing, insert the Encryption key to complete the process of stitching together the panorama images.
