Polaris Aero has integrated artificial intelligence capabilities into its Vocus Safety Intelligence software, expanding the aviation safety platform with tools aimed at improving reporting accuracy, searchability, and cross-department collaboration.&nbsp;The latest updates to Vocus SMS include AI-assisted content search, automated policy and report generation, and smarter risk classification. According to Polaris, the enhancements help users save time while ensuring safety-critical information is easier to access and analyze.
Key features include fast organization-wide search, guidance for documenting mission impact like delays or cancellations, and automated support for lessons-learned sharing. Chris Connor, Polaris Aero co-founder and CEO, said, “These new AI-powered tools are designed to save users time, reduce friction, and help teams focus on what really matters—making smarter, safer decisions before issues turn into incidents.”
Robert Myrick, aviation safety and governance manager at Entergy and a long-time Vocus customer, said the new tools improve both speed and usability. “The AI tools are intuitive and effective,” he said. “They bring efficiency and speed to an already streamlined safety management system, saving us time on both data entry and retrieval of information.”
Polaris said the new capabilities also support broader safety management efforts across uncrewed aircraft system operators, FBOs, and MRO facilities. Additional updates are planned for its other platforms: FlightRisk and GroundRisk.
