Allen Control Systems

If you're an engineer into defense tech, come help us put bullets through fast-moving drones via an M240.

@uaustinorg Thanks for visiting!

UATX students visit @allencontrol for an invite-only demo of Bullfrog M240, the fully autonomous weapons station that handles the full kill chain up to group 3 UAS.

It’s true, you can’t just shoot bullets in every place drones pose a threat: so we’ve got lasers to neutralize drones by blinding their optics Check this out, from the @allencontrol Innovation Lab

Kinetic defeat doesn't make sense for every situation, especially in dense or sensitive environments. Non-kinetic options like laser dazzlers let you neutralize the drone by degrading its optics. Our Innovation Lab demonstrates how it works:

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Tectonic / SXSW After Hours at The Betty last week! It was a great night connecting with builders, operators, and friends across defense tech. A lot of good conversations and new faces we’re glad to have met. Special thanks to our sponsors HavocAI and Allied Vision (@HavocAi_USV @AlliedVisionTec) for helping make this event happen. We’ll see you next year!

Every single embassy, airport, power plant, sea port, data center, etc. will need reliable counter drone Come help build them at @allencontrol systems. com Follow me & DM once you've applied to one of our open roles

Bullfrog is how we counter drones.

I'll be building a campaign this week to help Steve and the @allencontrol team get the EE's and techs they need and y'all need to give him a follow and hit their site. As a Texan I can vouch that Austin would be a super dope place to hang your hat and the work is compelling AF. If you're a smart technician who can solder with the capacity to learn a little #Linux this could rocket ship your career. I can also intro you to Steve directly if you're an engineer who already trusts me and want to be considered. Don't hit the life snooze alarm! If you don't live in Texas YET, still want to talk.

We’re scaling fast and growing our manufacturing team at Allen Control Systems. On March 21, we’re hosting an in-person Manufacturing Hiring Event to meet candidates and fill multiple roles across the production floor. If you want to help build and deliver real systems at scale, come talk with us.

@allencontrol The Robot Cowboy Veterans, it's like they walked off a Taylor Sheridan show. You don't see this in Silicon Valley.

This is one of the problems we are solving!

This Thursday, March 12, I'll be speaking with @e_h_obrien and others on missile and drone defense at @tectonicdefense summit here in Austin, Texas - if you'll be attending, come say hello! @allencontrol is all hands on deck to meet the moment. We're hiring.

In addition to Group 3 UAS like the Shahed, ensuring Group 1 and 2 UAS are reliably defeated is vital for protecting troops

NEW POD: Valar Atomics founder and CEO Isaiah Taylor joins us to talk about why energy may be the most important bottleneck of the 21st century, and why nuclear has to scale if the U.S. wants to compete. We also covered: • Why China is building nuclear reactors at a pace the U.S. hasn’t seen since the 1950s • The real constraint on AI, robotics, and manufacturing: energy • Small modular reactors and Valar’s containerized nuclear design • Why most nuclear startups overcomplicate the problem • The case for designing reactors like Toyota Camrys, not Lamborghinis • Why production rate and scale matter more than theoretical efficiency Now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Heading to South by Southwest? Join @allencontrol systems, @AlliedVisionTec, and @HavocAi_USV for an After Hours gathering to connect with leaders across defense, autonomy, and emerging technologies. March 11, 7PM, at the Betty. RSVP Link Below :

Bullfrog is getting its feet wet. @allencontrol is proud to announce we're joining the Red Cat Futures Initiative, integrating our AI powered autonomous weapon station onto their uncrewed maritime platforms, starting with the Blue Ops Variant 7, expanding c-UAS capabilities across land and sea.
