Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
Description
Collision avoidance
Detailed example
Skydio's AI output systems provide automated, real-time data capture and modeling for complex environments by combining advanced onboard AI and computer vision with high-resolution cameras
AI / analytics pattern
Agentic AI: AI systems that perform tasks or make decisions autonomously with minimal human intervention.
Automation level / stage
c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.
Expected benefit
The AI predicts the movement of obstacles and subjects to plot a safe and efficient flight path. This allows the drone to anticipate and smoothly maneuver around objects instead of simply reacting to them. Skydio drones use AI to power their core autonomy features, enabling them to fly themselves safely and intelligently while a human operator focuses on the mission.
Audit / financial statement impact
Does not produce an output that serves as a principal basis for decisions or actions with legal, material, binding, or significant effect on any of the individuals or entities identified in OMB-25-21.
Controls / human review
ATO: Yes; PIA: Not published
