Exclusive: Allen Control Systems to Demo Bullfrog for the JCO
For as long as there have been swarms of drones on the battlefield, defense companies have been trying to figure out quick, effective ways of jamming or shooting them down.
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is one of them.
Today, the company announced that it has been tapped to demo its tech at the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Systems Office’s (JCO) sixth C-sUAS demonstration in April. If successful, the company will win R&D dollars to develop its robo-gun, called Bullfrog™, further.
For the past few years, the Texas-based company has been working on an AI-powered robotic machine gun system that can target and destroy UAS systems.
“[Bullfrog] is a full kill chain solution,” ACS CEO Steven Simoni told Tectonic, “It does the full detection, identification, track and defeat. Plus, it’s under 300 pounds, so it can go on any sort of vehicle.”
