BINGEN, Wash. and RENO, Nev., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creating a turnkey operation for cooperative and noncooperative detection, Iris Automation and Sagetech Avionics announce their partnership to offer a comprehensive air risk mitigation solution to move the UAV industry one step closer to future BVLOS flight. Both companies share several mutual customers, with Sagetech specializing in situational awareness avionics for crewed and uncrewed aircraft and Iris Automation pioneering collision avoidance technology.

Key Points: 
  • Customers using the Casia Detect and Avoid (DAA) system, Iris Automation's noncooperative sensor solution, have been able to secure a number of approvals from the FAA based on its ability to enhance the safety of drone operations through noncooperative detection.
  • It allows Sagetech Avionics to create a certifiable ACAS X-based avoidance system that can incorporate one or more forms of noncooperative detection as well as Sagetech's recently certified ADS-B in/out system.
  • A significant portion of air traffic in the US is noncooperative, making their detection a paramount safety concern.
  • Combining noncooperative traffic detection from Casia, coupled with Sagetech's cooperative surveillance and avoidance module, adds a more robust set of avoidance options for safer BVLOS operations.
