The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is offering a reward up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft of four Skydio X10D Drone Systems from Fort Campbell.

According to the CID, these drone systems were last seen on the morning of November 21, 2025 at the 326th Division Engineer Battalion, Bldg. 6955, A Shau Valley Rd., Fort Campbell, KY. Between November 21-24, 2025, unknown persons unlawfully gained access to building 6955 and took them.

The website dronexl.co says the Skydio X10D is not a consumer drone. It is a defense-specific platform on the DoD’s Blue sUAS Cleared List, built for military intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Each unit carries a 48-megapixel telephoto camera capable of identifying a person from 2,400 feet and a vehicle from 6,500 feet. It integrates the Teledyne FLIR Boson+ thermal sensor, AI-driven obstacle avoidance, and a NightSense mode that allows fully autonomous flight in complete darkness. At approximately $28,000 per unit, four stolen systems represent more than $110,000 in military-grade hardware.

Dronexl.co notes that while the theft window runs November 21-24, 2025, Army CID published its reward notice on March 10. That is 16 weeks between the theft and a public appeal for tips. Military investigations involving stolen equipment often move through internal channels before going public, and there may be legitimate operational reasons for the delay. But when the stolen hardware can fly autonomously in the dark, identify a person from nearly half a mile away, and operate in GPS-denied environments, the clock matters. If any of these units crossed a border or changed hands through secondary markets in the weeks immediately after the theft, that window is gone.
