Applied Intuition UK has been awarded for the first phase of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Defence and Science Technology Laboratory (Dstl) Software Defined Swarms contract to deliver a complete autonomy test bed for ground-launched, near-surface drone swarms.
Together with its consortium of partners, Applied Intuition UK will enable the MOD to trial, refine and accelerate cutting-edge swarming behaviours across high-fidelity simulation and live flight trials.
The consortium brings together Applied Intuition UK as prime contractor, with Rowden Technologies, Evolve Dynamics, SAIF Autonomy, Frazer-Nash Consultancy, and an academic partner. Evolve Dynamics’ WOLFE-NATO will serve as the consortium’s main UAS platform.
Together, they will provide the MOD with an integrated swarming uncrewed aerial systems capability and will support the development of collaborative autonomy underpinned by principles set out from MOD’s Land Open Systems Architecture (LOSA).
“Applied Intuition UK is proud to partner with Dstl and this group of fast-moving SMEs to advance next-generation swarming capabilities,” said Iain Lamont MBE, Head of Applied Intuition UK.
“Our leading simulation platform will enable the British Army to accelerate delivery of its ‘20-40-40' priority. We are providing a fast, open, and scalable autonomy testbed that will help the MOD learn and deliver at pace while driving growth and investment across the UK.”
The award follows Applied Intuition’s successful autonomous air launched effects demonstrations for NATO allies, demonstrating how its software can manage complex swarm operations across multiple platforms in contested environments.
