Applied Intuition Launches Axion and Acuity to Deliver All-Domain Autonomy to the Warfighter
Product families expand defense portfolio to bring vehicle intelligence and accelerated capabilities to multiple domains. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Intuition, Inc., the leading Vehicle Intelligence company for commercial and defense mobility, today announced the launch of two new product lines to accelerate the fielding of autonomous systems for the U.S. and allied forces. Axion and Acuity provide platform-agnostic autonomy tools and onboard software to scale and accelerate defense capabilities across air, land, sea, and space domains and the electromagnetic spectrum. Modern defense programs face critical roadblocks in deploying autonomy at scale, including a dependence on slow, costly live testing and a lack of interoperable autonomy solutions. These limitations, when coupled with outdated acquisition processes, prevent programs from rapidly fielding and iterating on autonomous capabilities, ultimately putting warfighters at a disadvantage. Axion and Acuity directly address these core challenges. Together, they form a robust autonomy software solution that empowers the U.S. and allied militaries with the capabilities needed to develop and confidently deploy autonomy at speed and scale. "Autonomy is where artificial intelligence meets the warfighter," said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. "Beyond autonomy, we provide intelligence that is critical for the future fight, whether it's moving people, sensing threats or acting independently in contested environments." Today's warfighters operate with outdated infrastructure and siloed software not built for modern combat. Vehicle intelligence — and the smart software that enables drones, ground robots, and autonomous convoys to perceive and act on their own — sits at the center of how AI and autonomy function on the battlefield. Far beyond self-driving, vehicle intelligence is embodied, multimodal AI that surrounds the operator, understands context, and adapts in real time to dynamic threats, delivering a decisive edge to warfighters. Axion and Acuity for Autonomous Advantage To deliver collaborative autonomy at operational tempo, teams need a digital-first approach. Axion provides one unified environment for engineers and operators to build, test, and deploy together. Built on Applied Intuition's commercially proven technology and interoperable with any platform, Axion enables engineers and vehicle manufacturers to build autonomy at the speed of relevance and supports the full lifecycle from development to mission execution. Acuity delivers all-domain onboard autonomy that empowers warfighters with a decisive edge. Relying solely on human operators to combat threats slows down critical decisions. With Acuity, unmanned systems can take the lead in high-risk missions, keeping humans at a safe distance while executing with precision. In addition, Acuity reduces the need for vertical integration and puts programs back in control, delivering onboard software-enabled autonomy to the platform of your choice. Leveraging advances from EpiSci, a leader in AI and trusted autonomy software acquired by Applied Intuition, Acuity has been deployed on many platforms. Those include notable systems such as the X-62A VISTA fighter jet to enable autonomous air-to-air combat tests. "Live testing simply can't keep pace with the modern battlefield. Digital-first development and integration are essential to scaling unmanned systems," said Peter Ludwig, co-founder and CTO of Applied Intuition. "Axion and Acuity were built to meet the ever-evolving demands of defense autonomy, ensuring unmanned systems are ready for today's mission complexity. Applied Intuition's dual-use approach allows us to bring the best of commercial innovation to the defense sector rapidly and at scale." "Applied Intuition is committed to delivering cutting-edge technology to the U.S. and our allies that meets the mission — not in five years, but today," said Jason Brown, general manager of Applied Intuition Defense. "Axion and Acuity are being deployed right now, giving warfighters the confidence they need. We're not just building for the future, we're delivering capability at the speed of relevance."

Exclusive: Applied Intuition unveils programs to power autonomous drone swarms
Applied Intuition is unveiling new products that, according to one executive, will enable swarms of autonomous military ground vehicles, vessels and drones. Why it matters: The Pentagon is bullish on smart machinery — but a lack of physical and digital infrastructure hamstrings the grand vision. The latest: Applied's announcement Tuesday includes its Axion and Acuity product lines. The former is a "developer cloud" made "specifically for the development of military-grade autonomy," Jason Brown, the company's general manager for defense, told Axios. The latter, he said, "is the output of that." Think of one as the brain and the other as the textbook from which it learns. Together, they hope to account for the "hyper-dynamic realities of warfighting," said Brown, "and of the operating environments that our warfighters find themselves." Programming autonomous weapons and machines to work on war-torn landscapes and on fast-changing battlefields is a huge challenge for militaries and their contractors. Speedy updates are a necessity. Zoom in: The newly disclosed software has been used across the services, including aboard the X-62A VISTA, a modified F-16. Context: Applied in December acquired EpiSci, which was involved with the VISTA and its dogfighting trials.

Isro facing multiple challenges in building Bharatiya Antariksha Station: Director of Human Space Flight Centre
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is facing multiple challenges in its plans towards building the ambitious Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), said DK Singh, director, Human Space Flight Centre. 'There are technical challenges: the long gestation period, the availability of Indian industry expertise and the cost and the returns for a huge project like the BAS. But we are addressing these challenges,' said Singh, during a panel discussion on building space stations at the ongoing Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX) on Thursday. India has proposed to build the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS) by 2035 with the first module BAS-1 scheduled for a 2028 launch. Speaking to The Indian Express, Singh said, 'The overall aerospace industry in India will need to step up their infrastructure, from manufacturing, developing life support systems among others.' The senior ISRO official further called on the global industries to partner with India for the multiple human space exploration missions planned in the near future. Singh further said that India will make the BAS available for the use of the international space community at affordable costs. 'It will be a space lab, which will facilitate astronauts to undertake experiments, which otherwise cannot be performed on Earth due to its gravity. Life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors have huge scope to perform experiments at BAS. Drug tests can be performed at BAS,' he said. Even though there are efforts underway by multiple private space companies towards building a space station, but the role of governments will continue to remain vital, said Michael Lopez Alegria, veteran NASA astronaut and mission commander of two Axion missions. 'The governments will remain the major partner in building and utilisation of the space station. We need individuals and nations to use the space station,' he said. Thomas Pesquet, astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA), cited the lack of political will among European nations in getting space activities underway as the biggest challenge. 'In India, there is a strong political will and focused efforts, for example in building the BAS. It is time for Europe to step up,' said Pesquet. The International Space Station, now operating for 24 years, has been the longest serving space stations and has surpassed its mission life. So far, over 700 people have visited space.

Wells Fargo Flags Tariff Risks for Arm Ahead of Earnings Report
Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) was in the spotlight Monday as Wells Fargo flagged a cautious outlook ahead of the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report. The chip design firm is set to report results on May 7. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with ARM. Wells Fargo analyst Joe Quatrochi said uncertainty around tariffs remains a key risk, particularly given that 62% of Arm's royalties in fiscal 2024 came from consumer electronics like smartphones and PCs. He noted that while exemptions are in place, potential demand destruction could impact results. Quatrochi, who has an Overweight rating on Arm, lowered his price target to $150 from $185, citing concerns that initial fiscal 2026 guidance may fall short of Wall Street expectations. Quatrochi added that updates around Arm's data center exposure will be important, especially progress tied to Amazon's Graviton chips, as well as developments involving Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) Grace CPUs, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Cobalt project, and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Axion efforts. Additionally, investors will watch for new details on Arm's v9 and CSS technology adoption rates, which Quatrochi expects remained roughly flat at about 25% penetration compared to the December quarter. Consensus calls for earnings of $0.53 per share on $1.23 billion in revenue. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio
