EpiSci

At the heart of EpiSci's endeavors is a culture deeply rooted in pioneering next-generation autonomy and artificial intelligence solutions, primarily focused on enhancing national security. The company's mission is to safely unlock human potential by delivering trusted autonomy solutions that elevate human capabilities in critical situations. This mission is pursued by a team that values innovation, operational relevance, and tactical superiority, often drawing from firsthand warfighter experience to inform their technological advancements. EpiSci fosters an environment where experts in AI, machine learning, digital signal processing, and software-defined network systems collaborate to create mission-critical software. This software is designed to be technology-agnostic, allowing for broad application across various platforms, including uncrewed aerial systems, tactical fighter aircraft, cognitive sensors, and battle management command and control systems. The team is driven by the goal of providing a competitive advantage for US and allied warfighters, focusing on solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also predictable, explainable, and ultimately, effective in real-world scenarios.

EpiSci's operational philosophy emphasizes a software-first methodology, enabling the development of scalable autonomy solutions that transcend traditional hardware limitations. This approach is likened to an advanced manufacturing facility, where a streamlined process integrates rigorous engineering, precise coding, and comprehensive testing to produce capable AI software efficiently and at the speed of relevance. The company prides itself on delivering unmatched speed, cost-efficiency, and scalability, positioning itself as a preferred partner for defense agencies and industry teams. The culture encourages a commitment to solving complex national security problems by orchestrating diverse platforms across land, air, sea, and space. This dedication is evident in their participation in numerous Department of Defense autonomy efforts and collaborations with entities like DARPA, AFWERX, and NASA, aiming to push the leading edge of collaborative autonomy innovation and meet emerging challenges with effective and affordable mass. The acquisition by Applied Intuition in February 2025 is set to further accelerate the deployment of these advanced capabilities.
