About

Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a robotics defense company developing autonomous precision weapon systems designed to protect the U.S. military and its allies from next-generation drone threats. The company's work sits at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and proprietary control systems, applying advanced AI to real-time battlefield challenges.

The company's flagship product, Bullfrog™, is an AI-powered autonomous weapon station that converts existing weaponry into precision systems capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing enemy drones. It operates at effective ranges of up to 1,500 meters, with a target cost-per-kill of just a few dollars - a significant shift in the economics of counter-drone defense.

ACS has raised $42 million in funding, including a $30 million Series A round led by Craft Ventures. The company describes itself as having an engineering-first culture and positions its technology as battle-proven.
