Bry said he could see Skydio manufacturing drones in the country later on, but thinks building smaller components \u2014 like the equipment that helps prevent jamming \u2014 is more realistic at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war in Ukraine is the first to feature widespread use of small, commercial style drones. In the last two years, it\u2019s become a sandbox for companies around the world trying to test their equipment. U.S. firms including AeroVironment to Shield AI have sent their products to help defend Ukraine and see how they perform in intense electronic warfare environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, most of the drones used in Ukraine so far have been made in China, the world\u2019s dominant manufacturer in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bry went as far to say that Ukraine\u2019s needs are driving Skydio\u2019s product development, even when that doesn\u2019t overlap with the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His company\u2019s main defense contract is with the Army\u2019s Short Range Reconnaissance program, which Skydio won in 2021. <a href=\"https:\/\/sgp.fas.org\/crs\/weapons\/IF12668.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Defense firms are now competing for that contract\u2019s second iteration<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asafm.army.mil\/Portals\/72\/Documents\/BudgetMaterial\/2025\/Base%20Budget\/Procurement\/Aircraft-Procurement-Army.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">to be selected in 2025<\/a>, and Skydio is putting forward its new X10D drone to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine is also interested in that drone. Its Ministry of Interior has formally requested \u201cthousands\u201d of them \u2014 though Bry wouldn\u2019t specify how many \u2014 atop the thousand or so drones Skydio has already sent Kyiv since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The requirements laid out by the Army are similar to what Ukraine needs, Bry said, but they\u2019re not one for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis has been a shift in strategy for us,\u201d he said. \u201cWhere there\u2019s discrepancy, we\u2019re prioritizing what we\u2019re seeing in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between the two sets of requirements is in resiliency. Ukraine\u2019s biggest need is for drones that can counter intense Russian jamming. That is not what the short-range reconnaissance program has focused on to this point, Bry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still his argument is that Ukraine is the \u201cproving ground\u201d for small drones. If they can survive there, that should be a good sales pitch for the U.S. military as well. But that\u2019s not guaranteed, Bry acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a risk from a business standpoint,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I think it\u2019s a risk worth taking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The war in Ukraine is the first to feature widespread use of small, commercial style
