For more than three decades, Gyrus Systems has helped organizations in highly regulated sectors — from federal agencies to life sciences and manufacturing — stay compliant, skilled, and audit-ready.
But in 2025, the conversation has evolved. Today, compliance is the baseline. True operational advantage comes from readiness — the ability to ensure every person, team, and resource is qualified, available, and mission-ready at any moment.
That’s why we built the new GyrusAim Training Management System (TMS) — the next evolution of our platform powering the U.S. Navy’s Surface Training Immersive Gaming and Simulation (STIGS) program, U.S. Air Force’s KC-46, the Library of Congress, and other government and enterprise partners.
Why the Traditional LMS Isn’t Enough Anymore
Most organizations rely on Learning Management Systems (LMS) to deliver courses and track completions. But defense, aerospace, and life-science organizations operate in far more complex environments.
A pilot isn’t just “trained” — they’re qualified for specific aircraft, missions, and certification timelines.
A production supervisor isn’t just “compliant” — they must maintain recurring OSHA, GMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 certifications while managing a shift schedule and equipment readiness.
In these contexts, an LMS alone can’t handle:
- Multi-resource scheduling (instructors, simulators, classrooms, equipment)
- Qualification dependencies (who is authorized to train or operate)
- Real-time readiness tracking and audit reporting
- Offline, secure training across air-gapped environments
Enter Training Management Systems — the bridge between learning and operational readiness.
Introducing GyrusAim TMS: Integrated. Secure. Ready.
The new GyrusAim TMS is built directly into the GyrusAim LMS framework — not bolted on as a separate system.
That means one platform, one data model, and one seamless experience for administrators, instructors, and learners.
Key Capabilities Include:
- Smart Scheduling Wizard – Build syllabus-based schedules in minutes. Assign lessons, instructors, and resources without leaving the platform.
- Resource & Qualification Matching – Automatically match qualified instructors to lessons. The “Is Qualified” column instantly identifies who meets certification requirements.
- Automated Notifications & Workflows – Configurable templates keep learners, instructors, and managers informed of schedule changes, completions, or expirations.
- Bulk Import & Rapid Setup – Upload entire syllabi and sessions via ZIP + CSV, mapping learning objects automatically.
- External Training & Certification Tracking – Combine internal LMS content with external or field training — ensuring every qualification and certification is captured in a single record.
- Secure, Self-Hosted Deployment – Choose Azure FedRAMP, IL4-ready private cloud, or fully on-prem deployment with your own ATO boundary.
In short: it’s the readiness engine your LMS always wanted to be.
Built for Mission-Critical Environments
When GyrusAim was selected for the U.S. Navy STIGS program, the challenge was clear: manage complex simulator training, instructor scheduling, and qualification tracking—all within a controlled and secure environment.
We didn’t just add new features; we built a framework that could operate where others couldn’t:
- FedRAMP-aligned and ATO-validated (Library of Congress)
- 21 CFR Part 11 and NIST 800-53 Rev 5 Moderate compliant
- SCORM player for deployed or air-gapped units
- API integrations with VR/AR systems, such as Cubic’s TrainingLobby and defense simulation environments
This makes GyrusAim uniquely suited for defense, aerospace, utilities, and other sectors where training directly impacts mission readiness.
From Hours to Outcomes: What Customers Experience
When organizations transition from spreadsheets and disconnected systems to GyrusAim TMS, they report transformative results:

Compliance becomes an outcome, not an administrative burden.
Why Self-Hosting Still Matters
In an age of SaaS everything, government and defense buyers continue to ask: “Can we host it ourselves?”
With GyrusAim, the answer is yes.
Whether you deploy in your own Azure Gov tenant, an on-premise secure enclave, or air-gapped infrastructure, GyrusAim maintains full functionality — LMS, TMS, qualification, and analytics.
Customers inherit more than 200 FedRAMP-authorized controls from Azure plus GyrusAim’s own validated security layers — reducing ATO time and compliance overhead.
For organizations managing sensitive or classified training data, this control is non-negotiable — and one of the key differentiators that set GyrusAim apart from SaaS-only vendors.
Data-Driven Readiness and Continuous Improvement
Beyond scheduling and certification, GyrusAim TMS integrates directly with Power BI and internal dashboards, transforming training data into readiness intelligence.
Administrators can answer questions like:
- “Who is mission-ready for deployment next week?”
- “Which instructors are approaching qualification expiration?”
- “What equipment is underutilized?”
These insights close the loop between learning, qualification, and operations, helping organizations move from reactive compliance to proactive readiness.
LMS + TMS = A Unified Training Enablement Platform
Where many vendors separate “learning” from “management,” GyrusAim brings them together.
By embedding TMS functionality into its core LMS architecture, customers gain:
- A single login and data source
- Unified analytics and reporting
- Simplified configuration and lower maintenance costs
- Seamless user experience for both learners and administrators
This unified approach shortens deployment time, simplifies support, and reduces total cost of ownership — all while delivering advanced TMS capabilities that historically required separate, complex systems.
Real-World Use Cases
1. Military & Defense Readiness
GyrusAim TMS supports scheduling, simulation, and qualification tracking across distributed commands.
Whether managing naval simulators or aircrew readiness pipelines, training officers can plan, track, and certify every individual under one secure umbrella.
2. Life Sciences & Pharma
Manage recurring GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance training with automated scheduling and qualification audits.
No more manual spreadsheets — auditors get instant traceability.
3. Manufacturing & Utilities
Ensure every operator is qualified before entering a high-risk zone. Track certifications against equipment, site, and safety regulations with automated alerts.
Voices from the Field
“We wanted more than compliance checkboxes — we needed real readiness visibility.
GyrusAim TMS gave us exactly that — in a system we could host ourselves and trust.”
— Program Manager, Defense Training Operations
“The integration between the LMS and TMS means our team can focus on performance, not paperwork.”
— Learning & Development Director, Manufacturing
Final Thought
In mission-critical industries, every hour of training downtime can affect readiness, safety, or even lives.
The new GyrusAim TMS is more than a scheduling tool — it’s a bridge between learning, compliance, and operational excellence.
Whether you’re training warfighters, scientists, or engineers, GyrusAim ensures your people are not only compliant — they’re ready.
