MSHA -Skydio X10 Drone

The drone will be used as part of MSHA Enforcement’s pilot program to incorporate state-of-the-art image capturing technology in its investigations and inspections. This technology will greatly enhance the speed, efficiency, accuracy, thoroughness, and safety of accident investigations and inspections. For example, the drone can be quickly deployed at accident sites and access areas that would otherwise be unsafe to capture images of areas, objects, and structures in enhanced 2-dimensional image and video, as well as in 3-dimensions. The pilot program will involve three Enforcement districts; and when complete, the plan is to incorporate lessons learned and implement this technology in the rest of Enforcement’s districts and field offices.

The prospective contractor must have the ability to meet all requirements needed for the Skydio X10 Starter Kit drone Part Number: DR4ESKT2VLG0000NA, Skydio RTK/PPK for X10 Part Number: DR4ATTRTK, Skydio NightSense with Visible Light Attachment for X10 Part Number: DR4ATTSWNAV.
