Iris Automation

Iris Automation is an artificial intelligence and safety avionics company building collision-avoidance systems for autonomous vehicles.

By enabling Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, Iris is the critical missing piece that takes commercial drone operations from theoretical to functional. Thousands of companies can now eliminate hazards and drive efficiency in their day-to-day work with this technology. Iris Automation is based in San Francisco and Reno-Tahoe and is led by a team of experts with experience at NASA and Boeing, among others, and with PhDs in computer vision.
