Iris Automation successfully executes 107 miles of BVLOS flight without Visual Observers (VOs) in honor of their Part 107 waiver granted by the FAA. This operation was conducted using only the Casia X detect-and-avoid (DAA) system onboard the aircraft for air risk mitigation. The Casia X is the first commercially available 360-degree radial computer vision DAA system for drones.
