Leonidas: A Mobile Microwave Counter Drone System
A mobile weapons system, capable of traveling autonomously to the battlefield and shooting down swarms of hostile drones using beams of microwave energy, is being developed by Epirus and General Dynamics.
Los Angeles-based defense technology company Epirus and a subsidiary of global defense contractor General Dynamics have teamed to create the Leonidas Autonomous Robotic vehicle (Leonidas AR), a mobile counter-UAS system.
- The Leonidas AR integrates Epirus’s Leonidas’s high-power microwave (HPM) counter-drone platform.
- It uses General Dynamics Land Systems’ Tracked Robot 10-ton (TRX) unmanned ground vehicle.
The new weapon is designed to counter the emerging threat posed by swarms of hostile drones.
