Machina 001
IRIS V1
Autonomous Survey Hexacopter
60min
Flight Time
3.5kg
Sensor Payload
±1.5cm
Accuracy
Capabilities
The first machina in
every NEXUM deployment.
Autonomous Site Survey
Executes systematic aerial survey patterns across complex terrain. Generates full 3D site models at ±2 cm accuracy without operator input.
Real-Time NEXUM Uplink
Streams telemetry and processed site intelligence to NEXUM during flight. By landing, the deployment plan for ground machinae is already computed.
VECTOR Deployment
IRIS V1 is transported to site by VECTOR and launches directly on arrival. Logistics are fully handled — IRIS V1 is optimized purely for site operations, not transit.
Task Handoff
On mission completion, IRIS V1 triggers next-phase machina deployment. No human instruction required between survey and ground operations.

NEXUM Integration
The mission starts
before it lands.
IRIS V1 does not return with data and wait for instructions. It streams processed site intelligence to NEXUM in real time. By the time it touches down, the deployment plan for every ground machina is already computed and ready to execute.
When IRIS V1 identifies conditions that change the plan — unexpected terrain, material conflicts, safety concerns — NEXUM updates the downstream task graph in real time. No delay. No human in the loop.
IN FLIGHT
Streams LiDAR + RGB to NEXUM every 2 seconds
ON COMPLETION
Triggers NEXUM to begin ground deployment sequence
POST-MISSION
Archives full site dataset. Updates digital twin.
