The INTUITIVE Innovation Lab is a permanent exhibit celebrating INTUITIVE’s unique capabilities and technological solutions. The lab includes a range of projects that INTUITIVE developed, as well as software and hardware that showcase these products and their applications.

We use our Innovation Lab to test and demonstrate state-of-the-art software, hardware, and algorithm systems and solutions.  We develop, integrate, and test advanced cloud solutions; big data platforms; virtual, augmented, and mixed reality software and hardware. We research and use emerging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies.  We have full spectrum design, engineering, and prototyping capabilities for hardware and software solutions. Our system applications range from solar system exploration to personalized medicine and healthcare, and from complex weapons systems mission planning to visualization of weather phenomena.

The lab’s sleek and modern style presents the projects’ accomplishments, leaving visitors with an introduction to INTUITIVE skills and methods, as well as our vision for the future.

With a dedicated footprint at I2C, the INTUITIVE iHub will serve as a “sand-box and skunk-works” to inspire breakthroughs and explore pathways and research supporting the vision and objectives strategic to its commercialization interests. This includes assessment and launch of dual-use technologies, which demonstrate product-market fit for commercial applications.

INTUITIVE‘s Product Realization Lab, located in Cummings Research Park adjacent to the Redstone Arsenal, is a dedicated lab space utilized by our highly trained engineering staff to support engineering design and integration programs as a “one–stop shop” solution of pooled engineering tools and resources.

At INTUITIVE, we offer a spacious training and meeting space for its customers and employees.

The INTUITIVE Training Center is located at our headquarters in Cummings Research Park. The Training Center is equipped with modern wooden tables, ergonomic cushion chairs, and the latest audiovisual capabilities. The space seats approximately 60 people in a classroom setting or approximately 100 people standing. The arrangement of the tables and chairs is versatile to meet the needs of each customer. The room is conveniently located in a private, quiet area with close access to restrooms. Additionally, visitors have access to a self-serve Micro Market where guests can purchase from a wide range of fresh food and beverage options. The Training Center’s independent air condition system, large windows, and buffet catering area are just a few additional features that make this space so unique.

INTUITIVE’s UAS lab houses all of our platforms and provides an open space for integration, software development and bench testing of various payloads onto our FAA registered UAS vehicles. This lab is a working environment that enables co-location of our mechanical integration team with our software development to promote collaboration for our commercial and DoD customers.

INTUITIVE’s MBSE Collaboration Center is located at our headquarters in Cummings Research Park. It serves as a training and meeting space for our customers and employees. The MBSE Collaboration Center is equipped with a large format display and dedicated workstations with MagicDraw for our team of MBSE engineers and analysts. This lab is set with all the resources needed for our modelers to create Structural Diagrams, develop Use Cases, create Behavior Diagrams, generate requirements traceability, and perform parametric analysis for systems of interest.

The Pensacola Training Center is located in downtown Pensacola near Corry Station, home of the US Navy’s Information Warfare Training Center and Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency, and NAS Pensacola. The Training Center is equipped with configurable office furnishings and the latest A/V capabilities; and can seat approximately 15 people. Additionally, the Pensacola Training Center has a cloud-enabled and on-site cyber-skilling solution with a security operations center (SOC) and a cyber range. The cyber range’s software can support up to 1,000 participants simultaneously and delivers world-class cybersecurity training and capability development exercises using next-generation technology and services for the design, delivery, and management of simulation-based, deep-dive experiences in cybersecurity.

The Digital Engineering Lab, located at our Colorado Springs office, provides a dedicated meeting and collaboration space for both employees and customers. Equipped with advanced tools and software, this space allows our Model-Based Systems Engineers to collaborate in a dedicated workstation with a large display. This lab enables our engineers and analysts to create diagrams, develop use cases, generate requirements traceability, and perform analysis for systems of interest.

Located off I-25 in Colorado Springs and situated near multiple Space Force Bases, our Software Development Lab accommodates customers, industry, and academia partners, while enabling the ability to be digitally dominant through advanced software development and cyber operations.
