This is a major step into the defence sector for Applied Intuition, the global vehicle intelligence company for automotive, trucking, construction, mining, agriculture and defence. Applied Intuition’s commitment to the UK is expected to deliver £50 million pounds worth of foreign direct investment into the UK, bringing jobs, skills and research and development directly into the market.

Building on the foundations of civilian autonomous capabilities, Applied Intuition UK, a fully sovereign subsidiary, will focus on delivering mission-critical autonomy solutions across air, space, land and sea. Applied Intuition’s defence offering provides autonomy management and development systems for both existing and next-generation defence platforms. At a time of increasing global insecurity, autonomy offers a dual advantage, reducing reliance on extensive manpower traditionally required for fully crewed platforms, while also minimising risk to life for those operating in hostile environments.

“Opening our London office marks a considerable step towards creating a sovereign autonomy capability for the UK. This sizable investment reflects our resolution to providing cutting-edge autonomous systems, and the tools needed to build them for our Armed Forces,” said Tristam Constant, Head of European Government and Defence at Applied Intuition UK. “We’re building a strong team here, tapping into the UK’s incredible engineering talent to deliver autonomy solutions to meet the most demanding requirements,” Constant added. 

Applied Intuition’s latest venture marks a significant evolution, delivering cutting edge autonomy solutions for civilian industries to enabling mission critical capabilities for the Armed Forces. The opening comes swiftly on the heels of the dual releases of two new software-defined product families: Axion, a specialised mission-critical toolchain allowing the development of all-domain autonomous capabilities and Acuity, which delivers the onboard autonomy necessary to provide a decisive edge to the Armed Forces. As a dual-use technology provider, Applied Intuition is positioned to bridge the gap between commercial innovation and national security needs.

The introduction of a UK presence reinforces Applied Intuition’s commitment to delivering strategic autonomy at scale and providing serious defensive capabilities, all whilst encouraging growth and investment and aligning with the British Government’s priorities. 

Commenting on the opening of the office and echoing the words of the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at London Defence Conference, Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE said: “The UK is open for business, so I’m delighted that Applied Intuition’s commitment to the UK is expected to deliver £50 million in foreign direct investment, boosting R&D, creating jobs and putting more money into people’s pockets.

“With defence being identified as a key growth sector in our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, we're not only helping to attract and secure investment but delivering long-term growth that supports skilled jobs and raises living standards across the UK.”

This new UK presence reflects a long-term commitment to industry collaboration, economic growth opportunities and life-saving capabilities.
