The next aircraft build must choose between lighter packaging and a stronger navigation margin.
The avionics bay needs enough retention and cooling to protect navigation data, while the aircraft still has to preserve flight time and payload capacity.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The last sortie broke into a manual recovery, and everyone asked why one aircraft lost its position.”
Anahita Mohammadi · UAS Operations Manager

What is at stake
One aircraft lost navigation quality during a vibration-heavy climb, putting the next multi-aircraft evaluation at risk. You must weigh a durable avionics bay against the flight-time and release cost of added structure.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- navigation integrity vs flight-time margin
- build release speed vs verification depth
- connector retention vs service access
- mission realism vs restricted flight envelope
Why Applied Intuition
Acuity ISR+Strike depends on reliable GNSS/IMU data when autonomy is integrated across third-party aircraft and flown in demanding conditions.

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.
