The US Air Forces Central (USAFCENT), a component of US Central Command (CENTCOM), has placed an order worth over $9m with US-based drone manufacturer Skydio for the supply of Skydio Dock and X10 systems.

The drones and infrastructure will be used to secure US airbases in the Middle East as part of one of the largest deployments of autonomous drone security systems by the US Air Force (USAF) for international base protection.
