Allen Control Systems, a precision robotics company serving the defense industry, announced a new partnership with CX2, a defense tech company focused on innovation in electronic warfare and radio frequency sensing systems. The partnership enables the companies to develop integrated counter-drone capabilities for mobile, expeditionary, fixed-site and maritime operations.
This collaboration will bring together ACS’s autonomous weapon station, Bullfrog, with CX2’s electronic warfare and RF sensing systems. Bullfrog uses technologies such as computer vision to turn existing weapon systems into precision counter-drone solutions, while CX2’s technology detects RF emissions to identify threats and enable electronic disruption. The result of their combination will be layered counter-drone defense solutions that integrate threat detection, targeting and engagement.
“By bringing CX2’s electronic warfare capabilities together with Bullfrog, we’re building a more integrated approach to counter-drone defense,” Steven Simoni, ACS’s co-founder, said in a statement. “Over the next several months, (CX2 CEO Porter Smith) and I will showcase how electronic warfare, rockets and autonomous weapon stations can work together through unified command-and-control software on best-of-breed unmanned ground vehicles.”
