Sadly, domestic terror drone attacks will be a new reality, hopefully, stopped at the planning stage like this. Otherwise, civilian environments require affordable, portable, *non-kinetic* c-UAS like the @allencontrol Innovation Lab is developing:

ACS builds counter drone guns so we are hiring LOTS of people. Come work with us in Austin, Texas. Visit allencontrolsystems.com and look at our job listings. If it's there, it's live. Don't second guess yourself. Every role needs multiple people in engineering, ops and manufacturing: production, assembly, CNC, quality control, supply chain, etc.

WATCH: Cheap attack drones are upending modern air defense — forcing the US and its allies to spend millions to counter weapons that cost a fraction of the price. As Iran deploys these one-way drones at scale, Washington is scrambling to adapt

Drones redefined warfare because they are fast, lethal, and cheap Battlefield economics, the cost of defending equipment and people vs attacking to destroy them, is flipped in favor of the attackers with drones BULLFROG flips those costs back:

Drones are so nasty. “the IEDs fly now”. Even marked humanitarian vehicles aren’t safe. @allencontrol Systems will change that. We are hiring like crazy to keep up with demand for Bullfrog 1. Go to our site for open roles 2. Follow and DM me when you’ve applied

Today, delivering aid to people in severe need of assistance and under constant attack in #Kherson, a clearly marked @UN vehicle was struck by a drone. Over 200 civilians, mostly older people, remain there. More from the Head of @UNOCHA in Ukraine, who accompanied the convoy⬇️

They forget to mention that Russia did the attack. Russia shared the drone video online x.com/i/status/20552…

Check out @allencontrol CEO @mikewior on @tbpn as he walks the boys through Bullfrog's positioning Bc we nail accuracy and speed tradeoffs to defeat group 1 drones (like FPV quadcopters) at range, we can hit internals on bigger group 3s like Shaheds

I'm speechless at Google signing a deal to use our AI models for classified tasks. Frankly, it is shameful. For HR, I'm not speaking on behalf of Google but in my personal capacity, quoting public information from a well-sourced article of a reputable publication

We love @elonmusk and his companies. The Gigafactories will not be threatened by drones, not on Bullfrog's watch.
The Drone Ultimatum

“@elonmusk is an entrepreneur that's next level because...he gets other entrepreneurs to run his businesses. A founder of founders.” Once a founder builds enough credibility, they stop attracting just employees or investors. They also start attracting future founders. That creates a compounding network effect around talent, capital, recruiting, and company creation that’s difficult to replicate once it reaches scale. You can already see similar dynamics starting to emerge in defense and hard tech around @PalmerLuckey and Anduril.

We did it. This is Bullfrog: A computer vision and precision robotics marvel applied to existing weapon systems like the M240 machinegun. It is lightweight, capable, and affordable, and it can be mounted on a huge variety of legacy and emerging vehicle platforms.
