Intelic is an Amsterdam-based defence software company founded in September 2021 as Avalor AI. Three co-founders — Maurits Korthals Altes, Jeroen Lappenschaar and Marc Derksen — met while working in the Dutch military’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems unit, and built Intelic to solve the fragmentation problem they had experienced first-hand: armed forces operate drones and ground robots from different manufacturers, each with its own ground control station, making coordinated multi-system operations impractical in the field.
