About
ACS was founded by CEO Steven Simoni, CTO Luke Allen, and COO Mike Wior. Simoni and Allen are former U.S. Navy nuclear engineers who met in the service. Both were instrumentation and control systems engineers for Navy nuclear reactors and have backgrounds that span robotics, computer vision, machine learning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science.
After serving in the Navy, Simoni and Allen founded Bbot, a software and robotics restaurant technology startup, where they met Mike Wior, CEO and co-founder of Omnivore, a restaurant POS transaction system. Simoni and Allen’s company was acquired by DoorDash in 2022, and Wior’s company was acquired by Olo in the same year.
They created ACS in recognition that the battlefield has evolved rapidly to include machine-warfare threats. ACS is building autonomous weapon systems with a focus on counter unmanned systems for this new era of drone warfare and to completely change battlefield economics.
