Callen-Lenz and Applied Intuition UK have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) outlining their intent to collaborate on the development and integration of AI-enabled autonomous capabilities for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS).
The agreement establishes a framework for both companies to explore how AI-enabled autonomous collaborative behaviors can enhance the operational effectiveness of Callen-Lenz’s autonomous and remotely operated UAS platforms.
By combining Callen-Lenz’s expertise in UAS operations and mission systems with Applied Intuition UK’s autonomy software capabilities, the initiative aims to accelerate the development of next-generation autonomous capabilities that improve mission performance, resilience, and operational agility.
The collaboration is expected to investigate autonomous collaborative behaviors that enable UAS to analyze mission data in real time, support informed decision-making during mission execution, and coordinate actions across multiple platforms with reduced operator workload.
The companies intend to identify opportunities for technology integration, joint development activities and future programs that demonstrate the benefits of AI-enhanced autonomous mission execution.
Matt Foster, CEO of Callen-Lenz, said, “The future of autonomous systems lies not only in their ability to execute tasks, but in their ability to make intelligent decisions in complex and dynamic environments, while always maintaining context-appropriate human involvement in decision-making. Working with Applied Intuition UK is an example of our consistent efforts to understand the best technologies and pull them into our systems, we intend to explore how Applied Intuition UK’s AI-enhanced autonomy can deliver greater operational effectiveness, adaptability and mission success for our customers.”
Jason Brown, Global Head of Defence at Applied Intuition, commented, “Applied Intuition is bringing commercially mature autonomy to market-leading UK platforms to deliver capability that matters. We have proven this technology works at scale, and we’re deploying it where the impact is greatest. This agreement builds on our growing work across global defence, leveraging autonomy to enhance personnel safety and strengthen force effectiveness.”
Iain Lamont, Head of Applied Intuition UK, added, “Our agreement with Callen-Lenz reflects the interoperability of Applied Intuition UK’s autonomy software across a growing portfolio of British UAS platforms. We look forward to fielding this integration to enhance deep strike effectiveness and deliver capability into the hands of the UK and European Armed Forces.”
The MoU reflects the companies’ shared ambition to advance autonomous technologies that support increasingly sophisticated operational requirements across defense, security, and commercial applications.
