How Applied Intuition’s Acquisition of EpiSci Secures Air, Land, Sea, and Space, Enhancing U.S. Defense Capabilities

Last week, Applied Intuition marked a significant milestone with our acquisition of EpiSci (an Applied Intuition company) , a leader in AI and autonomy software for national security. This strategic acquisition enhances the warfighting capabilities of the United States and its allies across all domains.?

“This work that we do may be, out of all the verticals, the most important,” Applied Intuition Co-Founder and CEO Qasar Younis said of the company’s efforts in defense technology. “It is our responsibility as a company to field the best technology for the U.S. and its allies, and I think it’s an incredibly important mission. So I’m really proud that we’ve made this acquisition.”

Applied Intuition’s acquisition of EpiSci results in a combination that sets new standards in operational excellence across land, air, sea, and space. Merging the strengths of EpiSci and Applied Intuition lets us tackle the challenges of modern warfare and stay at the forefront of defense tech innovation.

Unifying Technologies, Enabling Systems

“The EpiSci team is tackling true systems problems,” said Peter Ludwig, Applied Intuition Co-Founder and CTO. “They are tackling the technical aspects of perception, planning, control, and RF communication in a holistic way. This is what dynamic operating environments require.”

EpiSci is known for its work on autonomous fighter jets, drones, and networked communications. Its advanced tactical AI applications complement Applied Intuition’s simulation, validation, and software integration tools. This acquisition combines the unique strengths of both companies to redefine defense technology by introducing AI-driven solutions that elevate human performance by strengthening situational awareness and decision-making.

Enhanced capabilities: EpiSci’s expertise in uncrewed aerial systems and multi-domain operations will contribute to Applied Intuition’s existing commercial capabilities. This will improve versatility and precision across land, air, sea, and space.

Accelerated development: We intend to speed up the development and testing of all-domain autonomy software by combining EpiSci’s expertise with Applied Intuition’s technology. This melding of skills and technologies will:

• Broaden our product range
• Improve the U.S.’s ability to address the complex challenges of modern warfare
• Increase the operational superiority of U.S. and allied defense solutions

Reason Behind the U.S. Military in One Word? “Deter”

“If I were to boil down the reason the U.S. has a military into one word, that word would be ‘deter,’” said Dan Javorsek, EpiSci’s President. “Our goal is to avoid going to war by creating a credible capability to punish aggression anywhere on the planet.”
