April 1, 2025 Craig Etkin

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Allen Control Systems (ACS), a leader in autonomous precision robotics for defense, today announced it has raised a $30M Series A led by Craft Ventures with participation from existing investors Inspired Capital and Rally Ventures. The capital will accelerate ACS’ engineering growth and support the deployment of Bullfrog™, the company’s autonomous robotic weapon station designed to counter the rise of unmanned threats on the modern battlefield and drive responsible national security.

Bullfrog transforms legacy or modern weapons into precision-targeting systems using artificial intelligence, computer vision, and proprietary control systems, significantly increasing their accuracy. ACS’ autonomous weapon stations are the most effective countermeasure to the rapidly proliferating unmanned threat. Bullfrog is a leading counter-drone technology, built to enhance battlefield effectiveness and meet the rising threat of unmanned systems—making it essential for every organization responsible for national security.

“High-value targets around the world are at risk from small unmanned systems. The urgent need for scalable, effective air defense solutions is creating immediate opportunities across the Department of Defense, international allies, and commercial sectors,” said Mike Wior, co-founder and CEO, ACS. “With this new investment, we will continue to strengthen ACS’ engineering capabilities and radically advance the fielding of our counter-drone technology.”

“ACS’ technology is a necessity as we enter the next era of defense,” said Jeff Fluhr, co-founder and partner, Craft Ventures. “Bullfrog represents a new standard in counter-drone technology needed by every organization responsible for national security. ACS has built a platform with the flexibility and reliability needed to meet today’s most urgent defense challenges and level the economics of the battlefield. We’re proud to support ACS on their mission to protect U.S. forces and our allies.”

Unmanned systems are the most impactful technologies on the battlefield today, demanding an entirely new approach to defense. ACS will take the field at the upcoming JCO Counter-UxS demonstration this April, proving that its systems are purpose-built to close the most urgent gaps in modern battlefield defense.

Joby Aviation, a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, announced the successful closing of the first $250 million tranche of a previously announced strategic investment from Toyota Motor Corporation. The funding marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies and supports their shared vision for the future of air mobility. The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi. This underscores the mutual commitment to deepening integration and delivering next generation travel to global markets. This investment also puts the two companies a step closer toward a strategic manufacturing alliance.

In a statement JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby said, “We’re already seeing the benefit of working with Toyota in streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing design.” “This is an important next step in our alliance with Toyota to scale the promise of electric flight. With this capital and Toyota’s legendary production expertise, we’re enhancing our ability to scale cutting-edge design and manufacturing to meet the demands of our partners and customers.”

Joby Aviation is a California-based transportation company developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi which it intends to operate as part of a fast, quiet, and convenient service in cities around the world. Powered by six electric motors, their aircraft takes off and lands vertically, giving it the flexibility to serve almost any community. Flying with Joby might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane. The company's aerial ridesharing service will combine the ease of conventional ridesharing with the power of flight. A green alternative to driving that's bookable at the touch of an app. With more than 30,000 miles flown on full-scale prototype aircraft, their aircraft is designed to meet the uncompromising safety standards set by the FAA and other global aviation regulators. Joby Aviation is now engaged in a multi-year testing program with the FAA to certify their vehicle for commercial operations, and have completed the first three of five stages.
