Lab GPS-free demos go viral. Skydio already has 1,070 Docks flying routes. Anduril shows 428 on the US FAA civil register.
No GPS. Still hunting.
Skydio (Confirmed, company blog Jul 6 2026): 1,070 Docks deployed; 4M+ flights. Docks + X10 / R10 are the GPS-denied autonomy story in this Short — docks deployed, not X10 airframe counts.
Anduril (Reported, eFlight Oct 19 2026): 428 drones on the US FAA civil register by maker. Military inventory is not counted. Product clips only (Fury / YFQ-44A, Roadrunner) — no Thunder combat animation.
Shield AI (Reported, same eFlight set): 414 on the civil register — thin chart companion only, not in the voiceover.
Caveats: Anduril and Shield AI figures are civil-register attributions, not deployed fleets. The viral Purdue GPS-free forest-drone lab clip is the cultural hook only and is never used in the cut. No Tesla. No third-party war footage.
