# Skydio
A drone vendor documented at four Arkansas law-enforcement agencies. Conway records name the
vendor without supplying a model or underlying procurement; Faulkner County produced a native
X10 flight log; Hot Springs produced executed model-specific purchase records for X2E and X10
systems; and Rogers produced current/proposed X10-and-dock sites plus direct-to-call integration.
North Little Rock records add a different evidence class: an Axon email circulating Skydio R10
and X10 marketing and an invitation to a Pulaski County-hosted Fly Day. That record documents a
pitch, not an NLRPD purchase or deployment.
## People
- [[Nikunj Mistry]] - signed Hot Springs's 2022 X2E order as Skydio Vice President of Finance.
- [[Eric Smith]] - prepared the 2022 Hot Springs X2E order.
- [[Austin Worth]] - prepared the unsigned 2025 Hot Springs X2E software proposal.
## Roles in this corpus
- A January 2025 Flock kickoff deck records Conway PD's technology goals as “Skydio 3, grant to purchase 2 more drones will be Skydio” ([[AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock! (3) - Flock Kickoff Slide Deck]], attached kickoff deck, p. 14, verbatim note).
- The City Finance Asset Forfeiture Log records `7/25/2024 — Drone package from Skydio — -$57,962.71` ([[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], `Jan 2023 - Present Asset Forfeiture Accounting.pdf`, p. 1).
Together, the records establish a Skydio-associated Conway drone program and an asset-forfeiture-schedule entry. They do not establish whether the July line was an invoice, encumbrance, transfer, or cash payment, nor do they identify the drone model or recipient unit.
- The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office production `26-238` supplies the corpus's first **native Skydio flight log**: two **Skydio X10** airframes (`SkydioX10-sx76`, `SkydioX10-vu3b`), 155 flights from 2024-10-01 through 2026-07-03, one pilot account flying 153 of them, with takeoffs in thirteen municipalities including outside Faulkner County ([[FCSO Skydio X10 Flight Log]], `flights SkydioX10.csv`). The X10 model identification is explicit in the vehicle field.
- Hot Springs's 2022 executed order and City purchase order establish three color/thermal
**X2E Starter Kits** for **$47,842.74** ([[Hot Springs Skydio X2E RFP Order and Purchase]],
`TERM AND CONDITIONS.pdf`, pp. 12-15).
- Hot Springs's 2024 cooperative-procurement file establishes one **X10** system with thermal,
low-light, 5G, audio, storage, fleet-management, and multi-viewer live-streaming components,
purchased through [[Granite Defense Technologies]] for **$32,875.68**
([[Hot Springs Skydio Cooperative Procurement and X10 Purchase]], `INTERSTATE COOPERATION
CONTRACT.pdf`, pp. 4-17).
- A 2025 Hot Springs proposal prices three 15-month X2E Autonomy/Cloud Enterprise license sets
at **$12,144.60**, but its signature/date fields are blank (same source, pp. 18-21).
- NLRPD's October 2025 Axon correspondence carries vendor flyers for the Skydio R10 and X10 and
describes integration with Fusus, Axon Evidence, and drone-as-first-responder workflows. The
email establishes receipt and internal circulation, not an NLRPD trial, purchase, deployment,
or flight ([[North Little Rock Flock-to-Fusus API v3 and Axon Drone Pitch]],
`Fusus Flock Integration Update into Fusus.pdf`, pp. 1, 3-15).
- Rogers's January 2026 KMZ package labels three current `X10 + Dock` DFR sites and three proposed DFR sites; a June 5 message states, “CAD integration into Skydio is complete now also. You can now use the feature to fly directly to a call” ([[Rogers DFR and Dedrone Deployment]], `Alan FOI Dunlap.pst/BMA Export/Unfiled/2195.eml`, KMZ placemarks; `Alan FOI Dunlap 2.pst/BMA Export/Unfiled/4060.eml`, body).
## Notes
- The Finance production does not include the underlying Skydio procurement, invoice, grant, inventory, policy, or flight records.
- Hot Springs's production identifies four purchased Skydio airframes but supplies no asset
register, serials, flight log, deployment-location record, policy, or lifecycle/disposition
history.
- Skydio is documented at four agencies and is model-specific at three; see
[[Law-Enforcement Drone and UAS Programs]] for the cross-agency comparison.
