US Bullfrog AI-controlled M240 turret for anti-drone defense

The post describes Bullfrog, an AI-operated remote weapon station using a 7.62mm M240 plus multi-sensor suite (thermal, cameras, laser rangefinder) to autonomously detect and engage drones out to ~500 m. If accurate, it reflects a move toward automated close-in counter-UAS gun systems intended for mounting on light vehicles and potentially future Abrams variants.
