Allen Control Systems tests autonomous Polaris RZR with Bullfrog turret

Bottom line

Allen Control Systems is testing the ULTRA system, an autonomous Polaris RZR buggy equipped with a Bullfrog turret, utilizing AI and optical cameras for drone detection and GPS-denied navigation.

Why it matters

The development of autonomous ground vehicles with integrated AI-driven counter-drone capabilities represents a significant advancement in mobile air defense, potentially offering NATO and allied forces a new type of threat that can operate in GPS-denied environments and engage aerial targets without direct human control.

Bespilot reports that Allen Control Systems is testing the ULTRA system, an autonomous ground vehicle based on a Polaris RZR chassis. The system features a Bullfrog turret (7.62-30mm) and employs AI and optical cameras for drone detection and GPS-denied navigation, with an operational range of 0.8-1.5km. The platform is developed by Overland AI Tech.
