Axion is a unified digital ecosystem built to support every phase of autonomy development – from mission simulation and AI training to hardware integration, test events, and live operations. It replaces siloed workflows with a single environment where teams can build, test, and deploy autonomy faster and with less friction. Axion bridges the gap between the lab and the field. Engineers and operators share one toolchain that handles scenario design, model validation, system integration, and mission execution—no brittle handoffs, no rework. That means more time spent improving autonomy, less time chasing bugs between environments, and confidence that what works in a sim will work in the real world.
Axion Sim enables every engineer, operator, and program manager to test individual subsystems or end-to-end software-defined platforms at scale; transform your organization by introducing digital-first testing as a precursor to live testing.
Software Integration Checks for Platforms
Axion Integrate automates validating that each software release is compatible with the APIs and interface control documents (ICDs) of target hardware; test remotely through a secure, cloud-based platform, giving weeks back that teams that are integrating and testing autonomy.
ATR Model Retraining
Axion MLOps enables any operator to collect raw data from live testing or other sources and refine models in minutes. Automate optimization of the right model architecture and model training parameters for higher ATR performance with no effort. No machine learning engineer is required.
Common Operating Panel for Autonomy
Build the COP that unifies virtual and live testing into a single view of capability across an autonomy program or organization. Link program requirements to test results from any modality (SITL, HITL, LVC, Live) to understand progress towards meeting those requirements in real time.
Autonomous collaborative platforms
The future of air combat will be crewed-uncrewed teams.
Loyal wingmen—autonomous aircraft that fly in coordination with piloted aircraft—are a foundational element of future force design and the “affordable mass” paradigm. They extend the reach of every sortie, absorb risk, and enable new tactics through scalable human-machine collaboration. The capabilities of unmanned combat aircraft and their ability to collaborate are enabled by software. Autonomy software must adapt in real time, and capture the intent of pilots without overloading them. Ground operators need tools to plan, monitor, and review wingmen operations across dynamic operational environments. This collection of software capabilities is what transforms airframes into combat partners.
Our Solution
Applied Intuition Defense builds the portfolio of tools and autonomy necessary for loyal wingman operations across the lifecycle of development, test, and operations. Extensive past performance and validation in digital and live environments give programs the confidence to field these critical capabilities faster and with confidence.

ISR & strike missions
Integrated autonomy for sensing and effects.
The next generation of operations demands more than just precision—it requires persistence, coordination, and adaptability in contested environments. Collaborative strike and ISR missions are redefining how force is applied and information is gathered. Unmanned swarms must now sense deeper, react faster, and deliver effects at machine speed. Whether it’s prosecuting time-sensitive targets or building a persistent intelligence picture, mission success depends on software. Autonomous systems must dynamically coordinate across platforms, interpret the commander’s intent, and operate with minimal oversight—even in GPS or comms-denied environments. Operators need tools that scale with mission complexity offering insight, control, and flexibility without overwhelming the human operator.
Our Solution
Applied Intuition Defense provides the autonomy software, simulation infrastructure, and operational tools to enable collaborative ISR and strike missions from concept through deployment. Our validated products accelerate development, test, and fielding—so warfighters can deploy with confidence and speed.

Collaborative maritime missions
Autonomous collaborative vessels are transforming naval power projection.
The maritime battlespace is vast, contested, and increasingly unmanned. Collaborative surface vessels are reshaping how navies conduct ISR and attack operations at sea. These platforms extend reach, provide persistent sensing, and deliver precision effects, even in GPS-denied environments.
But turning hulls into effective maritime combatants requires advanced software. Autonomy must support navigation in dynamic sea states, detect and classify contacts in real-time, and coordinate across manned and unmanned assets without constant human control. Operators need robust mission planning, monitoring, and retasking tools that scale across distributed fleets.
Software is the critical enabler for transforming maritime ISR and attack into a coordinated, scalable, and survivable capability.

Autonomous battle management
Command and control at machine speed.
Modern conflicts are defined by speed, complexity, and data overload. Traditional battle management systems—built for human-paced decisions—can’t scale to contested, multi-domain environments. Autonomous battle management changes that equation. By fusing data across sensors, domains, and platforms, autonomous battle managers can identify threats, recommend courses of action, and synchronize effects in seconds—not minutes. These systems don’t replace commanders—they extend their reach, compress decision cycles, and make the force more agile, survivable, and lethal. Software is the foundation. Battle managers must understand the mission context, prioritize actions, and adapt as conditions shift—all while remaining accountable, transparent, and aligned with human intent. Commanders need tools that deliver insight, not noise—and autonomy that enhances, not complicates, decision-making.
Our Solution
Applied Intuition Defense delivers the autonomy, simulation, and decision support infrastructure to enable trusted autonomous battle management. Built to scale across domains and integrate with legacy systems, our tools accelerate the development and fielding of adaptive C2 capabilities.

Simulation-Driven C2 Development
Axion Sim supports high-tempo battle scenarios to test autonomy, validate decision logic, and train operators in complex, contested environments before deployment.
The electromagnetic spectrum is now a battlefield of its own. Traditional approaches to electronic warfare (EW) present a vulnerability for many platforms. Pattern matching against static libraries of known signatures fails when wartime reserve modes are enabled and software-defined radars can dynamically alter the waveforms that platforms emit. Cognitive EW systems use onboard machine learning to autonomously detect novel threats, classify emitters, and reconfigure their own emitted waveforms on the fly. These systems must act faster than the adversary and operate without perfect information or constant human input. Developing cognitive EW requires a new generation of tools that can train and evaluate responses to shifting adversarial signatures.
