March 02, 2026
Allen Control Systems has expanded its Austin, Texas operations to more than 57,000 square feet to meet growing demand for its Bullfrog autonomous counter-drone system, enabling scaled production and R&D for U.S. and allied military customers.

Allen Control Systems has tripled its Austin, Texas operations to over 57,000 square feet to meet increasing demand for its Bullfrog autonomous counter-drone system, announced in a press release. The expansion will support low-rate initial production as well as research, development, testing, and evaluation activities for U.S. and allied defense customers.

The Bullfrog system uses artificial intelligence, computer vision, and proprietary control technologies to enable both legacy and modern weapons to precisely engage aerial threats. The company said the facility growth will strengthen domestic production capacity for these systems and ensure reliable access for military clients.

Allen Control Systems noted that Bullfrog has been validated in U.S. Department of Defense trials and supported by contracts with the U.S. Army, Special Operations Command, and several allied militaries. The Austin expansion will also create new engineering and technical positions to advance the development and deployment of its autonomous counter-drone solutions.
