Drones are on their way to becoming a key component of everyday logistics infrastructure; however, FAA regulation barriers are slowing their progress. Iris Automation is a safety avionics technology company, providing aviation services that enable customers to build scalable FAA-approved Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations for commercial drones and other crewed and uncrewed aircrafts.
The pioneers of the Detect-and-Avoid systems industry are partnered with companies including Sagetech and Embraer, jumpstarting the abilities of each business to offer superior safety solutions and unlock the potential within countless other industries.
The company’s lucrative funding rounds, led by Bee Partners and OCS Ventures, with support from the Sony Innovation Fund and Verizon Ventures, allows it to improve and expand its tech, as well as provide demonstrations of its efficiency to new partners. Iris Automation is evolving the drone avionics industry toward a future where BVLOS systems are the norm, not the exception.
