Iris Automation

Iris Automation was a Reno, Nevada deep-tech company that built Casia, a computer-vision detect-and-avoid (DAA) system enabling beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operations. Its onboard products (Casia, Casia X) and the ground-based Casia G used industrial cameras and machine-learning to detect non-cooperative intruder aircraft and prevent near mid-air collisions, integrating with MavLink-based autopilots and UAS ground control systems. Iris Automation was acquired by uAvionix in late 2023; the irisonboard.com domain now 301-redirects to uAvionix and the company exposes no public developer API, documentation, or well-known surface of its own.

Iris Automation is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Deep Tech, Drones, UAS, and Detect and Avoid.
