About Allen Control Systems
Allen Control Systems develops computer-vision-guided weapon stations for defeating small uncrewed aircraft. Bullfrog combines passive optical detection, target tracking and autonomous fire-control software with established machine-gun effectors. The M240C configuration is intended for Group 1-3 drones and swarms at ranges up to 800 metres, while the heavier M2 configuration extends protective fire to 1,500 metres.
The open architecture connects with external command-and-control systems and can form the terminal layer of a wider air-defence network without requiring its own radar emissions. Allen is also integrating lower-collateral options such as laser dazzling, encrypted return-or-land commands and composite ammunition. M230 and M134 variants remain identified as future development, whereas M240 and M2 systems form the current product line for fixed sites, vehicles, convoys and tactical formations.
