Allen Control Systems has raised a $200M Series B led by Smash Capital, with participation from @craft_ventures, @rallyvc, and @InspiredCap. Low-cost drones are reshaping modern conflict, and the demand for proven counter-drone defense is accelerating. This funding enables us to scale Bullfrog, the most trusted kinetic solution built for the U.S. military and allied partners worldwide. We're hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and operations to scale the next generation of counter-drone defense.

250 years of a country that never stops building and innovating. We’re proud to be a part of it. Wishing our employees, customers, and partners a safe and happy Fourth of July.

This is what defense innovation looks like. In an interview with @AtomsNotBits, ACS Innovation Lab Technical Lead Daniel Gonzalez shares how ACS and five other companies worked together during the U.S. Army’s Operation Jailbreak to build a functioning counter-drone robot pair in just two days.

Bullfrog was mentioned by Lieutenant General Edmond M. Brown, (Acting Commanding General, @T2COM_HQ) during a recent U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing on Army modernization and capability development. His comments emphasized the rapid fielding of counter-UAS capabilities to support operational needs. We’re proud to help deliver counter-drone technology where it matters most.

The foiled drone attack on the White House shows that anything open to the sky (infrastructure, stadiums, concerts) is a target. Watch ACS CEO @mikewior share with @FoxBusiness how we'll use our $200M Series B to ramp production of the best in class c-UAS solution, Bullfrog:

Our Austin Engineering Happy Hour returns this Friday, June 19! If you're an engineer in the Austin area, we'd love to see you at Chalmers from 5:30pm - 8:30pm. RSVP via the link in replies.

Even though The Bullfrog, @allencontrol's AI-powered machine gun, is designed to shoot down Group 1 and 2 drones, which are by far the most difficult to destroy, it can still damage Group 3 Iranian Shahed drones. "We are currently focused on being the best at shooting down Group 1 and Group 2 drones, which are absolutely the hardest drones to engage... That said, we can shoot down Group 1 drones that are very far away." - CEO @mikewior "So if I can hit a 7-inch target on a Group 1 drone from very far away, I can hit very vulnerable parts of a [Group 3] Shahed at the same distance." "Lasers are pretty good at shooting down Group 3 drones, but you have to keep your laser on target for 5 to 15 seconds in order to damage the airframe." "So while we're not the ideal solution for engaging those larger targets, when they get closer and you need that last line of defense, we are absolutely a great solution for taking those out of the air."

A cheap drone can disable or destroy a multi-million dollar system. That cost curve is reshaping modern warfare. Affordable drones are proliferating faster than traditional air defense systems were designed to handle. Counter-UAS systems have to be scalable, responsive, and economically sustainable. Left view: the reality of the modern drone threat. Right view: Bullfrog autonomously engaging and defeating an incoming drone. This is why layered, cost-effective counter-drone systems matter. That’s the problem we’re solving for at Allen Control Systems.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their legacy drives our mission forward.

Bullfrog on the road.

We brought Bullfrog to SOF Week 2026 alongside partners Blue Ops (@RedCatHoldings) and @Overland_AI_X. Across domains, the future of autonomous systems is taking shape.

There's no shortcut to a stronger defense industrial base. It takes scaling, focus, and showing up every day. This is what that looks like at Allen Control Systems.
