“…Autopilot platform innovator UAV Navigation is integrating Iris Automation’s detect and avoid Casia software into its advanced autopilot solution, VECTOR. UAVs equipped with VECTOR and Casia Detect and Avoid now have the ability to detect uncooperative crewed aircraft in their airspace and autonomously or manually take corrective action, avoiding potential collisions. The integration comes as Iris Automation releases Casia Software v2.2. The release also includes improvements to performance, track fusion and flight data uploads. Casia Software is embedded in all Casia systems and uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to detect and classify aircraft intruders, similar to human pilots. Iris Automation is exhibiting at this week’s AUVSI XPONENTIAL in Atlanta, GA (booth #3547). VECTOR autopilots are specifically designed to execute flight autonomously, even if the remote-control datalink becomes unavailable or fails. They are used by a wide range of commercial clients flying rotary-wing, target drone, fixed-wing, and VTOL uncrewed aerial vehicles, worldwide…”
