Company unveils field-deployable, persistent autonomy development and operations platform.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Applied Intuition, Inc., the leading physical AI company, today launched the first mobile operations center purpose-built for developing, testing and operating autonomous systems. Applied Edge packages rugged compute, satellite and radio communications, and the Axion autonomy toolchain into a field-deployable node, enabling teams to build, iterate and operate at mission speed without standing up new infrastructure.

“Applied Intuition is collapsing the distance between the lab and the mission,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “Today, every team building advanced autonomous systems hits the same wall: the exercise ends, the racks go dark and the telemetry sits in the field while the clock resets in the office. The cycle of standing up and tearing down autonomy stacks between events is over. The teams that move at mission speed will define the future of autonomous systems, and Edge is how they get there.”

Deploy where the mission is. Pick up where you left off.

Defense autonomy is moving fast, but the infrastructure behind it has not kept up. Government test ranges — designed for hardware, not software — add months of scheduling overhead and offer no persistent DevSecOps environments. The gap between autonomy needs and infrastructure has never been wider.

As autonomy programs move from one-off demonstrations to repeated field operations, teams need software-defined infrastructure that stays warm between events. The same pressure exists in defense and in heavy industry: mining, construction and other environments where machines must be developed and validated where they work, not only in the lab.

Axion Sim and Mission Control run natively on Edge so teams can plan missions, replay logs, evaluate behavior, coordinate multi-asset operations and stream live telemetry, all from a single platform deployed wherever the mission demands.

Key capabilities include:

• Show up, power on and get to work: Edge node arrives self-sufficient with power, HVAC, rugged compute servers, 5G/Starlink communications, and operator workstations ready on arrival with no build-out required.
• No resets or rework: Data, models, and workflows persist between test events. Teams pick up where they left off with no lost context and no wasted setup days.
• Build, test and iterate at the edge: Axion tooling provides a complete development environment at the test site.
• Secure, compliant environments: Edge supports SCIF/SAPF configurations and enables classified programs to operate from Edge without requiring fixed facilities.

Edge is available now. For more information, visit applied.co.

MUNICH and SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The TRATON GROUP and Applied Intuition, Inc., the leading physical AI company, today announced TRATON ONE OS, a next-generation software-defined vehicle platform that will power all new vehicles across TRATON’s four brands: Scania, MAN, International and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. Building on more than a year of co-development, the two companies are deploying a single unified platform that’s at the forefront of innovation to deliver benefits to customers:

• Prevent costly downtime: The system’s unified data access is designed to enable predictive maintenance capabilities that allow fleet operators to identify and address potential mechanical issues before they lead to breakdowns, service recalls or unplanned downtime.
• Future-proof fleets: Customers will be able to receive new applications, features and full-cabin user-interface upgrades via over-the-air software updates, eliminating many workshop visits and allowing vehicles to improve throughout their operational life.
• Unlock the autonomous future: The platform’s adaptive middleware is designed to serve as a foundation for autonomous driving systems, enabling TRATON to layer autonomous capabilities onto the same architecture over time.

Designed to bring the speed, flexibility and continuous update cycles of modern software development to the commercial vehicle industry, TRATON ONE OS will operate on all high-performance computers (HPCs) in TRATON’s new vehicle architecture. The platform supports multiple hardware chipsets and global regulatory environments while giving TRATON teams a common foundation to build on — all without compromising each brand’s distinct customer experience. Testing of the first integrated ECU hardware will begin in April 2026, with rollout across new trucks targeted for 2028.

“Our collaboration with Applied Intuition brings together TRATON’s deep expertise in commercial vehicles, including strength in modularization and in-house application-function software development, with Applied Intuition’s leading software capabilities,” said Stefan Teuchert, Senior Vice President EE Platform at TRATON GROUP. “With TRATON ONE OS, we combine strong building blocks from Applied Intuition, TRATON and the open source community to create a worldwide cutting-edge EE platform, delivering fast new functions and services to the customer, while still preserving what makes each of our brands unique.”

The platform is being co-developed as a white-box modular architecture that combines TRATON’s internal development with Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS for trucking, as well as trusted third-party and open-source components. This modular approach allows TRATON to replace or consolidate compute units over time without fragmenting the software stack or rewriting the platform or applications, supporting the company’s long-term ambition to move toward fewer, more powerful high-performance computers.

“Working closely with TRATON, we’re building the next generation of software-defined commercial vehicles,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “TRATON ONE OS creates a platform that allows trucks to continuously evolve through software updates while giving TRATON the flexibility to build and scale capabilities across its global brands.”
