Detect Intruder Aircraft
Full optical, 360° field of view aircraft detection, classification (small plane, helicopter, drone, etc.) and alerting system.
Ground-Based Detect and Alert System
Casia G leverages the same AI and computer vision technology pioneered by Iris Automation's onboard systems – but stationary – to detect aircraft as they approach your UAS operation.
Safety at the Core
Protect airspace for uncrewed air vehicles and crewed aircraft to operate safely. Casia G features extremely high detection rates for reliable and predictable performance.
Full optical, 360° field of view aircraft detection, classification (small plane, helicopter, drone, etc.) and alerting system.
Casia G can be integrated with your existing situational awareness tool to provide your Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) access to all information from one system.
Leverage multiple Casia G nodes in the form of a mesh network to cover large areas and gain additional time to move UAS to safe zones.
Never tired, bored, or distracted
Casia G is a ground based surveillance system that continually monitors the airspace to ensure your UAS operation is safe from intruder aircraft.
Performance validated by the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP) at Virginia Tech, an FAA-designated UAS Test Site.
Installation and maintenance provided by Iris Automation support engineers.
Without the need for onboard safety sensors, UAS power and payload capacity is made available.
Cost-effective with minimal management overhead. RPIC can manage multiple drones and increase the scope and efficiency of operations.
Add additional Casia G nodes to create a larger network of coverage.
Unlike radar, Casia G is a passive system and does not need an FCC approval.

Casia G is a ground-based detect-and-alert system designed to provide situational awareness for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). It uses electro-optical sensors and advanced computer vision to detect non-cooperative aircraft, enabling safe Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
Casia G provides real-time airspace monitoring by detecting and classifying nearby aircraft that may pose a collision risk. The system alerts the UAS operator, allowing timely action to avoid conflict, thus supporting BVLOS operations in compliance with regulatory requirements.
Casia G is suitable for a wide range of industries, including Drone as a First Responder (DFR) programs, utility and powerline inspections, railway inspections, precision agriculture, and package delivery services.
Casia G can detect non-cooperative aircraft within a range of up to 1.2 miles (2 km), providing ample time for UAS operators to respond to potential airspace conflicts.
Cooperative aircraft are those equipped with transponders or other identification systems (such as ADS-B) that broadcast their location and flight information, allowing them to be tracked by air traffic control and detect-and-avoid systems. Non-cooperative aircraft, on the other hand, do not have these systems, meaning they cannot be tracked through traditional means. Casia G is designed to detect and classify non-cooperative aircraft using its electro-optical sensors and computer vision technology.
Yes, Casia G is specifically designed to detect non-cooperative aircraft that do not have transponders or other cooperative tracking systems. This makes it highly valuable in environments with mixed airspace participants.
Casia G integrates with UAS ground control systems through an API, allowing operators to receive alerts and situational awareness data in real-time. This seamless integration helps automate detect-and-avoid processes in UAS operations.
Casia G is a ground-based system that requires strategic placement of its electro-optical sensors to ensure optimal airspace coverage. However, it does not require extensive infrastructure and can be easily deployed at various operational sites.
The Casia G system consists of high-resolution electro-optical sensors, a central processing unit that uses computer vision algorithms to detect and classify objects, and a communication interface for relaying alerts to UAS operators.
Casia G features low-latency detection and alerts, enabling real-time airspace monitoring. The system is designed to process information and deliver alerts within milliseconds, ensuring timely responses.
While Casia G is robust, its performance may be affected by extreme weather conditions like heavy rain, fog, or snow, which can reduce the effectiveness of its optical sensors. However, in most weather conditions, the system functions reliably.
Yes, Casia G can be deployed in urban environments where traditional radar systems may struggle due to building interference. Its optical sensors and advanced computer vision are effective in these scenarios, making it ideal for UAS operations in cities.
Data from Casia G is transmitted via secure communication channels, integrated with ground control systems through APIs. Operators receive real-time alerts directly on their control interface.
