Applied Intuition has introduced a new autonomy software platform to help military and commercial drone operators deploy artificial intelligence capabilities across aircraft platforms, as defense companies increasingly focus on software-driven warfare.
The company unveiled Drone Stack, a modular autonomy package designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and strike missions across a range of unmanned aircraft. The platform is intended to allow operators to move autonomous capabilities between airframes rather than relying on systems tied to a single drone manufacturer, the company stated.
The launch comes as the war in Ukraine reshaped military thinking around unmanned systems, particularly the push toward producing large numbers of lower-cost, adaptable platforms. Applied Intuition said the conflict has accelerated interest in "affordable mass," where fleets of autonomous systems can provide capabilities once reserved for smaller numbers of more expensive platforms.
