Seven Domains. One Integrated Vision.
From the airport surface to en-route airspace, our solutions cover every dimension of aviation safety, operations, and planning.
Airport & Airspace Safety
Airport surface and airspace safety — runway incursion alerting, ATC voice clearance-deviation detection, safety margin and buffer encroachment monitoring, surface event playback, and predictive hazard analysis.
Capacity Management
Airport and airspace capacity prediction, live traffic-flow management, operating constraint forecasting, and network-wide risk assessment.
Operations
Real-time operational awareness for airports — prioritized NOTAMs and an airport status built from weather and equipment outages.
Airport & Airspace Planning
Fast-time simulation, line-of-sight analysis, PBN procedure development, gate management, and UAS/AAM integration.
Obstruction Analysis
Part 77 and TERPS obstruction analysis, and monitoring of FAA obstruction filings, built obstacles, and obstruction NOTAMs near airports and radar sites.
Management & Analysis
Grant management systems, economic impact analysis, and terminal capacity planning.
Data & AI
Structured API access to aviation data, an aviation search engine, a library of airport shape files, and Sig — agentic AI with role-based access across every Cignus platform.
Every domain runs on Helios — one AWS-native platform for aviation data, analytics, and AI.
Explore Helios
AWS-native cloud infrastructure powering every Cignus solution. Helios ingests, transforms, and serves aviation data through a modular pipeline — from raw SWIM feeds to AI-driven insights. Its aviation data warehouse is open to your own analysts too, through the same APIs and BI dashboards our solutions use.
Aviation Data Warehouse
SWIM, SFDPS, STDDS, ADS-B, ASQP, METAR, TAF, NOTAM and operational feeds — unified in one aviation data warehouse and data lake, current and historic.
APIs & Data Services
RESTful APIs delivering real-time safety metrics, capacity forecasts, flight objects, and historic analytics.
Analytics Engine
Statistical models, safety margin calculations, BI dashboards, trend analysis, and compliance reporting at scale.
AI / ML Engine
Track prediction, airspace congestion models, NLP for ATC voice, and RAG-based agentic AI systems.
MCPs & Integrations
Model Context Protocols connecting AI agents to live operational data, the Payload CMS, and external feeds.
Knowledge Management
Aviation knowledge base with vector embeddings, document processing, and contextual retrieval for AI systems.
Shape Helios
Have an idea for a new data source, API, or function? We'd love to hear from you — tell us what you'd like to see integrated into Helios.
Meet Sig
Sig is Cignus's aviation intelligence assistant — not just a chatbot, but an AI platform connected to the Helios backend. Ask about our solutions, explore capabilities, pull live NOTAMs, or get pointed to the right team member.
Ask Anything About Cignus
Solutions, services, contracting vehicles, team expertise — Sig knows the full Cignus portfolio and can guide you to the right solution.
Connected to Helios
Sig reaches Helios through the same role-based APIs as our applications, so what it can show you follows your access. Live NOTAMs today, with more Helios data services coming online.
Aviation Web Search
Ask for the latest NOTAMs at any major U.S. airport by ICAO code and get them back prioritized and readable — straight from the Helios LiveNotams feed.
A Learning AI Platform
Sig grows with the Helios platform: each new Cignus solution and data service becomes something Sig can answer about and work with, within your role.
