Attalon与ACS结成定向能合作：Valaris激光子系统整合进Bullfrog自动武器站，11月12日宣布
美国防务技术公司Attalon与防务精密机器人公司ACS于2026年11月12日经BusinessWire宣布结成战略合作，共同推进新一代定向能方案，以应对低成本武器化无人机。Attalon将把其Valaris高能激光子系统整合进ACS的Bullfrog自动武器站，为美国与盟国政府提供精确、可扩展且成本可控的能力。两家公司分别在费城与德克萨斯州奥斯汀发布这项消息。
Attalon首席执行官John Bergeron表示，低成本无人机的扩散从根本上改变了战争的经济学，应对这类威胁需要新办法，把先进技术与规模化交付的能力结合起来。ACS联合创始人Steve Simoni表示，定向能正成为反无人机作战的决定性能力，但只有能紧急从实验室走向战场的系统才有意义，把Attalon的激光技术与其美国国内制造基础同Bullfrog的自动精密机器人结合，可为美军与盟军提供能规模列装的关键能力。
这项宣布紧随ACS新设定向能部门之后，该部门负责开发新的高能激光系统。Attalon从事先进激光、精密光学、光学镀膜与先进材料的工程与制造，在美国有600多名员工，总部位于费城。ACS总部位于德克萨斯州奥斯汀并在当地有重要制造基础，另在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚设办公室、在亚拉巴马州亨茨维尔设创新实验室，其旗舰产品Bullfrog是人工智能驱动的武器站，可把现有武器改造成高精度反无人机系统，已随美军部署，并持有美国陆军、海军陆战队与特种作战司令部的合同。
英文标题：Attalon and ACS Form a Directed Energy Partnership: Valaris Laser Subsystems to Integrate With the Bullfrog Autonomous Weapon Station, Announced November 12
英文全文：
Attalon, a United States defense technology company, and ACS, a precision robotics company for defense, announced on November 12, 2026, in a BusinessWire release from Philadelphia and Austin, Texas, a strategic partnership to advance next-generation directed energy solutions to counter low-cost weaponized drones. Attalon will integrate its Valaris high-energy laser subsystems with ACS's Bullfrog autonomous weapon station to deliver precise, scalable, and cost-effective capabilities to United States and allied governments.
Attalon chief executive John Bergeron said the proliferation of low-cost drones has fundamentally changed the economics of warfare, and that defeating these threats requires advanced technology paired with the ability to deliver it at scale. ACS co-founder Steve Simoni said directed energy is becoming a defining capability in the counter-drone fight, but will only make a difference if promising systems can urgently transition from the lab to the battlefield, and that pairing Attalon's laser technology and domestic manufacturing base with Bullfrog's autonomous precision robotics will give United States and allied forces a critical capability they can field at scale.
The announcement follows the creation of ACS's Directed Energy division to develop new high-energy laser systems. Attalon engineers and manufactures advanced lasers, precision optics, optical coatings and advanced materials, with more than 600 employees across the United States and its headquarters in Philadelphia. ACS is headquartered in Austin, Texas, where it has a significant manufacturing base, with offices in Alexandria, Virginia, and an innovation lab in Huntsville, Alabama. Its flagship product Bullfrog is an AI-powered weapon station that turns existing weapons into highly accurate counter-drone systems, is deployed with United States forces, and is covered by contracts with the United States Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command.
