The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is requesting NSERC Innovation Enhancement funding to support the development of the recently-created Centre for Innovation and Research into Unmanned Systems (CIRUS). CIRUS is designed to support applied research aimed at addressing industry challenges in three main areas: innovative applications of unmanned vehicles, sensors and related equipment; application customisation; and validation and integration of data products derived from unmanned systems. CIRUS will act as a leading unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research centre and a key supplier of highly qualified personnel to industry, and will function as a partner in applied research for both SMEs, and for more established companies. Additional partnership agreements have been established with the Foremost Centre for Unmanned Systems, which is currently the only licenced beyond visual line of sight facility in Canada for UAV testing. CIRUS has also developed links with other Alberta colleges and their faculty, through a progressive seven AB college partnership and one college in BC. NSERC funding will be used to provide a stable financial environment for the establishment and operation of CIRUS through its first five years. NSERC funds will be complemented by industry contributions to the various joint research projects undertaken at the centre, both with additional funding provided through industry donations, and through various federal and provincial funding initiatives specific to individual research projects. The research carried out by CIRUS will complement the parallel development of unmanned systems and related curriculum at SAIT, and will provide a unique venue for student training. By working closely with industry, the centre will provide students with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research, directly related to the rapidly-expanding adoption of UAVs both in Alberta, and in Canada as a whole.

南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）正在申请NSERC创新增强基金 支持最近成立的无人系统创新与研究中心的发展 （CIRUS）。CIRUS旨在支持旨在解决三个主要行业挑战的应用研究 领域：无人驾驶车辆、传感器和相关设备的创新应用;应用定制; 以及验证和整合来自无人驾驶系统的数据产品。CIRUS将作为一个领导者， 无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）研究中心和高素质人才的主要供应商， 并将作为中小企业和更成熟的公司的应用研究合作伙伴。 还与无人驾驶系统最重要中心签订了其他伙伴关系协定， 这是目前加拿大唯一获得许可的无人机测试超视距设施。CIRUS已经 我还通过一个渐进的七AB学院与其他阿尔伯塔大学及其教师建立了联系 在BC省的一所大学和一所大学。NSERC的资金将用于提供稳定的金融环境， CIRUS的建立和运作通过其第一个五年。NSERC资金将得到补充， 工业界对中心开展的各种联合研究项目的贡献， 通过行业捐赠以及各种联邦和省级资助计划提供资金 具体到个别研究项目。CIRUS进行的研究将补充平行研究， 在SAIT开发无人驾驶系统和相关课程，并将提供一个独特的场所， 学生培训。通过与工业界密切合作，该中心将为学生提供机会， 致力于前沿研究，这与阿尔伯塔迅速扩大的无人机采用直接相关， 在整个加拿大。
