Operations Management for Drone and Mixed-Fleet Aviation Programs

From mission scheduling and pilot qualifications to operational reporting and safety management, Cirro brings the people, aircraft, equipment and records behind your UAS / RPAS operations together in one connected platform.

Whether you manage a standalone drone program or operate RPAS alongside helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, Cirro helps coordinate crewed and uncrewed operations without separate management systems.

AirSuite is approved to participate in the Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace designed by the Canadian Department of National Defence and the Defence Investment Agency. AirSuite is a pre-qualified supplier under streams 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Benefits

  • Crewed + uncrewed fleet oversight
  • Modular operations and SMS
  • Pilot and remote pilot readiness
  • Mobile and supported offline workflows

A growing drone program needs more than flight-control software

As missions, operator requirements, aircraft and personnel increase, keeping track of pilot qualifications, equipment assets, approvals, operational activity and safety records becomes more difficult. Disconnected systems make it harder to maintain a consistent picture across teams and locations.

Cirro supports the full operational management around the mission. Coordinate resources, retain the records that matter, rely on our built-in Safety Management System to manage safety risks, and give supervisors better visibility.

One platform for both crewed and uncrewed aircraft

Drones are increasingly part of established aviation fleets. If you operate helicopters, fixed-wing and RPAS, Cirro provides a common place to coordinate aircraft and personnel, maintain full operational records for all aircraft, and manage safety across the fleet.

Manage both pilot and remote pilot credentials and resource schedules, mission scheduling and flight reporting, controlled procedures, and safety follow-up through Cirro’s configurable modules. Different aircraft types including weight and balance records and airworthiness approvals, access maintanance records using our integrations, and oversee workflows that make sense for your operations.

Whether you are adding your first drone to an existing aviation operation or overseeing several aviation units, Cirro is the hub that connects them all; helping reduce disconnected records and providing a more consistent view across the board.

One platform across the mission lifecycle

Before the mission

Schedule aircraft, remote pilots , preflight authorizations/requirements, and support resources. Access procedures, training and qualification records, and document pre-mission safety (SMS) considerations that uses your own company or organization’s workflows.

In the field

Keep supported documents, forms and operational information available on mobile devices, including offline and in remote, rugged locations. Cirro gives field personnel practical ways to capture information, relay it to the team on-demand or raise safety concerns. 

After the mission

Capture flight and mission activity, maintain a consistent record of work completed, follow up on hazards or occurrences, and review operational and safety trends across the program. 

Everything your UAS / RPAS team needs to stay organized

Controlled Documents and Connected Data

Keep procedures, checklists, forms, and company notices available to the right people determined by you. Use access permissions and supported integrations to bring operational information into a more consistent workflow that empowers you to privately set your own access levels internally.

Take a proactive approach to UAS safety

Every operation involves choices about weather, airspace, people, equipment, changing conditions and mission complexity. An effective safety program makes it easier to identify risks before they become incidents and to follow through on improvements and corrective actions.

Cirro Safety Management System (SMS) connects reporting, risk assessment and follow-up in one configurable environment. Teams can submit hazards and occurrences, complete investigations, track corrective and preventive actions, manage operational changes, and review emerging trends. External reporting links and QR codes can help collect reports from personnel beyond your regular Cirro users.

Cirro SMS can also be deployed as a standalone safety solution for operations that do not need the full Cirro suite.

One platform across the mission lifecycle

Public Safety and Emergency Response

Provide consistent documentation, personnel oversight and safety reporting across emergency-response, search-and-rescue and law-enforcement RPAS teams.

Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities

Coordinate personnel and recurring inspection work while maintaining records for aircraft, equipment, field activity and operational risks.

Survey, Environmental and Remote Operations

Support distributed field teams with mobile access, configurable forms, equipment records and supported offline workflows when connectivity is limited.

Established aviation and mixed-fleet operators

Bring drones into an existing helicopter or fixed-wing operation without losing centralized scheduling, crew oversight, documentation or safety-management processes.

Works Alongside Existing UAS Technology

Your aircraft, ground control station, mapping software, maintenance system and specialized mission systems each have a job to do. Cirro focuses on the organizational information around those technologies: the people, resources, records, and safety processes needed to run a professional program.

With configurable workflows, an available data API and integrations with compatible third-party systems, Cirro can help connect operations without requiring you to replace reliable tools in your UAS environment. Integration options are reviewed against your existing systems and requirements.

Manage the Records that Support Your Operating Requirements

Professional UAS operators must work within the rules and approvals that apply to their missions. Whether your team works under FAA Part 107 in the United States, Part IX of the Canadian Aviation Regulations, or other applicable requirements, Cirro helps organize the training, operational, safety and procedural records used in your compliance process.

Cirro supports internal workflows and oversight. Regulatory airspace approvals, operating certificates, flight authorizations and other permissions remain the responsibility of the operator and the relevant authorities.
