ACS, a defense tech firm, has just landed $30 million in Series A funding to improve its robotic weapon systems.
Big Plans for Bullfrog Expansion
With this new cash, ACS aims to hire more engineers and deploy its top product, Bullfrog, a robot designed to tackle drone threats. Craft Ventures took the lead in this funding round, with support from Inspired Capital and Rally Ventures.
Bullfrog: The Future of Defense
Bullfrog isn’t your average gadget. It uses AI and smart computer systems to turn regular weapons into sharp-shooting tools. This system can work with old and new weapons, making it very adaptable. According to ACS, it’s one of the best solutions available today to fight off drones and similar threats.
You know, sometimes people just have to come up with cool stuff like this to keep everyone safe.
Mike Wior, the CEO, says that small unmanned systems are a big threat to important places. He highlights the urgent need for air defense solutions, mentioning opportunities with the Department of Defense, allies, and commercial sectors. The new funds will boost their tech further.
Investor Support for Future Defense
Jeff Fluhr from Craft Ventures believes Bullfrog is essential for modern defense. He sees it setting a new standard in counter-drone tech, crucial for national security. Fluhr appreciates ACS’s platform for its flexibility and reliability and is excited to support their mission to protect forces and allies.
Testing and Future Goals
Come April, ACS will show off Bullfrog at the JCO Counter-UxS event, giving everyone a chance to see it in action. As drone dangers grow, ACS is determined to advance its tech to safeguard national interests. With fresh funding, they’re ready to push forward.
