US military testing AI-powered machine guns to take down drones
SMRTR summary
The US Army is testing Bullfrog, an AI-powered machine gun designed to combat drone attacks. Developed by Allen Control Systems, it combines a 7.62-mm M240 gun with advanced sensors and AI. Bullfrog can accurately target small drones up to 183m away, surpassing human sharpshooters. The compact system, under 181kg, performed well in Pentagon trials. Although capable of autonomous operation, human approval is required for firing. This technology may transform the military's approach to drone threats in combat.
