AI Drone Killer Built in Austin: “Bullfrog” Takes Down Deadly Drone Threats | Tech This Out

Austin-based defense tech company Allen Control Systems is taking on one of the fastest-growing threats in modern warfare—autonomous drones. In this episode of Tech This Out, we get an inside look at Bullfrog, an AI-powered autonomous weapon system designed to detect, track, and destroy drones in seconds. Using advanced computer vision, infrared sensors, laser targeting, and predictive ballistics, Bullfrog can calculate a drone’s speed, distance, and trajectory—then take it out of the sky with precision. With drone warfare rapidly evolving—especially in conflicts like Ukraine, where drones are responsible for a significant portion of battlefield casualties—experts say the threat is only growing. And it’s not just overseas. Critical infrastructure in the U.S., including airports, power plants, oil refineries, and stadiums, could all be targets. Bullfrog is built to respond—whether mounted on a truck, deployed at sea, or potentially integrated into aircraft—offering a mobile, layered defense solution against drone swarms. 👉 Is this the future of defense technology? And how prepared are we for what’s coming next? Featuring: Steven Simoni, President, Allen Control Systems Mike Wior, CEO, Allen Control Systems 📍 Austin, Texas 📡 CBS Austin – Tech This Out
