The US military is addressing the growing threat of weaponized drones by exploring innovative solutions, including the development of AI-enabled autonomous gun systems. At the recent Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) event, the Pentagon tested the Bullfrog, a robotic gun system created by Allen Control Systems, designed to accurately target and eliminate drones. This system aims to enhance precision in drone defense, surpassing the capabilities of traditional firearms used by service members.
The Bullfrog features advanced robotics and AI technology, allowing it to track and engage fast-moving drone targets with remarkable accuracy. As military officials express optimism about its potential, the Bullfrog could represent a significant shift in how the US military approaches drone threats, potentially becoming the first lethal autonomous weapon in its arsenal. The ongoing development of such systems reflects a broader trend in military strategy, emphasizing the need for cost-effective and efficient counter-drone solutions.
