The payload stream competes with command-and-control traffic on aircraft that are about to become flight articles.
A vehicle-side change protects signal integrity, while a software-side change protects the existing aircraft configuration and field schedule.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The range team keeps asking whether this aircraft is ready, and I don’t have an answer I can stand behind.”

What is at stake
Payload streaming interrupts command-and-control messages during flight, despite clean isolated bench checks. You must weigh a vehicle-side redesign against reducing network demand before the remaining field window closes.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- payload throughput vs command-and-control continuity
- vehicle redesign vs field schedule
- HIL evidence vs live-flight proof
- vendor configuration control vs integration flexibility
Why Applied Intuition
Axion autonomy software has to remain dependable across OEM UAS hardware, payload interfaces, and live Group 1-5 flight tests.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
