US EditionReport: Skydio Drones Surveil American Protests
Skydio drones, battle-tested by the Israeli military in Gaza, are now used by over 800 US law enforcement agencies to surveil cities, with 20,000 flights annually in New York alone.
- This year, Skydio drones used by the Israeli military in Gaza are surveilling American protestors across US cities, with over eight hundred law enforcement agencies deploying them nationwide.
- The Federal Aviation Administration lifted limits by allowing US security and law enforcement agencies to operate drones beyond visual line of sight and over large crowds, ending prior restrictions this year.
- The drones run on Nvidia-powered AI and Axon software, with the New York Police Department launching more than 20,000 drone flights recently to manage and store footage.
- Police are increasingly sending drones before humans, with local police departments using Drone as First Responder programs locating suspects in 169 incidents and aiding 386 arrests, including a San Francisco case.
- Amid investor and Israel ties, Skydio received $3 million seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz in 2015 and faces privacy pushback from the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier Foundation.
