SAIT CIRUS has been fortunate to receive generous funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and Prairies Canada to support the development of our research centre and supporting applied research projects. Our research centre features a diverse and advanced fleet of remotely piloted aircraft, sensors, survey equipment, data processing and modeling software, and hardware. Some of our remotely piloted systems are the only ones in North America, making CIRUS a leading research centre on the continent.

All units are equipped with a microprocessor-based MPCU controller that manages diagnostics, protection, and optional energy consumption monitoring systems. EAR rectifiers are trusted across ground support zones, hangars, and field operations.

The Integrated Weather Observation System (IWOS®) is the compact, wireless, rugged weather station that can be customized to any customers’ specific needs. This system can replace legacy weather stations that require hardline power or extensive infrastructure for permanent installation. It integrates up to eight environmental sensing modules with optional satellite communication in a package that fits into a single case and weighs less than 25 lb. In addition to its portability, performance, and professional-grade construction, the modular design of the IWOS lends itself to higher accuracy, higher availability, and a lower lifecycle cost thanks to its easily replaceable and serviceable modules.

Our XR-based aircraft maintenance simulator is officially certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) of South Korea for training and education. It provides specialized training environments for the A321, B737-MAX, and B737-800NG aircraft, featuring over 80 detailed modules—including procedures for engine removal, main landing gear installation, and more. This subscription-based simulator is fully compatible with smartphones, tablets, and wearable XR devices, enabling seamless access through a cloud-based web service. Users can train anytime, anywhere—perfect for both remote learning and remote maintenance scenarios. Compared to traditional classroom learning, the XR platform is 4 times more effective and requires only one-third the training time. It also improves user confidence in real-world technical applications by up to 275%. By transforming traditional paper manuals into immersive, interactive training environments, the simulator delivers the next generation of aircraft MRO education for both civil and defense sectors.

The SCFAN-CTRL-10U is an internal fan control module installed inside the chassis to provide advanced cooling control and system thermal management. It integrates with FAN trays and operates through Kontron’s Power Supply Control Module (PSCM), supporting up to two 12V @ 3.5A fans and seven 12V @ 2.5A fans. This module ensures stable cooling performance and system reliability for high-density VPX-based embedded systems. It is deployed in the M-SAM-II multi-function radar system, where it provides precise and efficient cooling control for mission-critical radar operations.

HYPER Series offers the original superior performing hyperboloid contact technology designed for use in all applications and in harsh and demanding environments where high reliability and safety are critical. The inherent electrical and mechanical characteristics of the Hypertac® HYPERboloid conTACt ensures unrivalled performance in terms of reliability, number of mating cycles, low contact force and minimal contact resistance. The shape of the contact sleeve is formed by hyperbolically arranged contact wires, which align themselves elastically as contact lines around the pin, providing a number of linear contact paths.
