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.

The SCXMC-SFPDP is a high-speed optical communication card that operates through the XMC interface of the SBC. It is designed to transmit and receive large volumes of data between the SBC and other devices in real time. Unlike Ethernet, which can be difficult to synchronize, the SCXMC-SFPDP uses optical communication with synchronization signals, enabling precise and high-speed data transfer. It offers low response latency (<40 µs) and supports four transmit/receive channels at 3.125 Gbps per channel. A device driver program is required for operation, and the Linux driver can be downloaded from Seedcore’s product page. Drivers for other operating systems can be developed upon request. This module is deployed in the L-SAM multi-function radar system to ensure reliable real-time data transmission between mission-critical subsystems.

The Sentry Mesh 6161 is a Software Defined Radio hosting our highly robust MANET waveforms that have been proven in applications from Public Safety to Unmanned Systems and Covert Operations. The MeshUltraTM waveform optimises the use of available channel bandwidth through a token passing technology, which avoids collisions and provides a bound, predictable data packet latency. Wider bandwidth, together with superior RF performance and optional Interference Avoidance System (IAS), maximises communications effectiveness in the presence of interference. The standardised design of the 6161 ensures that it can be integrated with a large range of accessory devices such as audio, data, power solutions, and antennas to address current and future program needs.

The ECL4000 is an LTE outdoor base station developed for the U.S. CBRS market, providing a service radius of several kilometers and enabling seamless private LTE network service.
