Oh.. yes, thanks Mojave, that was exactly my question, I have never used "intent" as an adjective before, that was why I suspect it was a mistake. Cool! Thanks for clarifying!

"Intent" is an adjective as well, and that is how it is being used in this sentence. "Intent on" is correct, as SteveMP pointed out below.
