im a big epirus fan, but this makes less sense than targeting aerial. microwave shielding on a sea vessel is easier to implement than on a weight optimized airframe. this has more domestic applications than military. pair it with a HPL to create holes for your mm sized beams.

Umm, so bad guys are going to start wrapping their engines in aluminum foil? This seems incredibly unrealistic against anything but drones.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: U.S. defense company Epirus has successfully tested its Leonidas high-power microwave (HPM) system, taking down 49 drones with a single pulse. Just last month, it neutralized 61 drones from multiple unpredictable directions, showcasing next-level anti-swarm capabilities. Powered by gallium-nitride (GaN) semiconductors, Leonidas can dynamically adjust waveforms for maximum effect against all types of drone threats—leaving older systems far behind. The future of drone defense is here.

Andy Lowery joins me for an outdoor demo of cutting-edge defense technology, showcasing the Leonidas autonomous ground vehicle and its role in modern battlefield protection. Built through a collaboration between Epirus, General Dynamics Land Systems, and Kodiak Defense, this mobile system integrates advanced radar, autonomous navigation, and directed energy capabilities to detect, track, and neutralize drone threats in real time. I need one of these for the studio. 😂 Epirus

The US has spent upwards of $2 million per unit to defeat drones that cost hundreds to thousands. Drones are easily mass-produced, while the US kinetic arsenal can face years-long lead times. Leonidas costs pennies per kill, is ready for production now and its magazine is unlimited.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Game-Changer in Anti-Drone Warfare US-based company Epirus has successfully demonstrated its cutting-edge anti-swarm technology Leonidas, disabling 49 drones in a single strike. Just last month, the system proved its unmatched potential by taking down 61 drones from multiple unknown directions, showcasing its ability to counter complex swarm tactics. Unlike older vacuum systems, Leonidas uses gallium-nitride semiconductors to generate high-powered microwave emissions. This design allows operators to adapt and optimize the waves in real time, ensuring maximum impact on hostile drones. The takeaway: drone warfare has long favored attackers due to lower costs and higher saturation. With systems like Leonidas, the balance of power may finally begin to shift toward the defenders.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The USA for the first time shot down a fiber-optic drone The American company Epirus reported a significant breakthrough in the field of countering drones. Its microwave system "Leonidas" for the first time hit a drone with fiber-optic control - one of the most difficult targets for modern electronic warfare means. Previously, the complex had already hit a swarm of 49 drones, but the new test was particularly significant. In December 2025, at a closed test range of the US Army, the system was able to disable a fiber-optic UAV, depriving it of control and causing an uncontrolled fall. Fiber-optic drones, which are widely used today, including in the Ukrainian theater of operations, do not use radio control channels. The signal is transmitted via a thin fiber-optic cable, which makes such drones extremely difficult to detect and suppress. In a report by the US Army in 2024, such drones were called "one of the main threats to air defense systems and anti-drone warfare". The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. just demonstrated Leonidas, a microwave weapon that took out 50 drones with a single burst of energy. No missiles, no tracking. One pulse, and everything in range falls out of the sky. The drone swarm is the defining weapon of this war. Someone just built the economic counter to it. Source: Sam Eckholm on YT

‼️‼️‼️🇺🇲 BREAKING - US-based company Epirus successfully demonstrated Anti-swarm technology LEONIDAS by disabling 49 drones in a single shot. In the previous month, the system showcased its ability to detect and engage drones from multiple unknown directions, disabling a total of 61 drones from two randomly selected vectors. The system utilities gallium-nitride semiconductors to produce the microwave emissions instead of older vacuum systems. Such a configuration allowed for defenders to actively modify the microwaves to provide an optimized effect on targets. Bottom line- Antidrone warfare currently has a huge cost asymmetry in favor of the attackers. Systems like these will help to balance the equation. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

In September 2025, Israel’s Elbit Systems demonstrated the advanced capabilities of its Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS) during live-fire testing. The system successfully intercepted more than a dozen 120 mm kinetic energy (KE) tank rounds, conclusively demonstrating a proven ability to defeat high-velocity, advanced anti-armor threats. This achievement highlights Iron Fist’s effectiveness not only against traditional shaped-charge munitions but also against modern kinetic penetrators, marking a significant milestone in active protection technology for armored vehicles.

1946, At The End Of The Rainbow. My 16mm archive. The Sun-Kraft UV Lamp Company film on the medical tested UV light. It had a great deal of research around it and was used across hospitals and doctors offices for a decade. The AMA tried to buy the rights to the bulb technology and they failed, so they called it a “quack device” and shut it down. It had a very high cure rate for virus pneumonia with no need of pharmaceuticals. We lost this technology when we lost this company. This film was assumed to be destroyed.

BREAKING: U.S. Confirms "We Have Directed Energy Weapons – And We're Scaling Them Up" United States has indeed publicly acknowledged possession and ongoing development of directed-energy (DE) weapons, primarily high-energy lasers (HEL) and high-power microwave systems. These are not secret programs; the Department of Defense (DoD), the military services (especially the Navy and Army), and Congress have openly discussed them for years through budgets, roadmaps, testimonies, and public reports. Possession and operational deployment — The U.S. military has fielded limited operational or prototype DE systems since the mid-2010s. Examples include: —The Navy's HELIOS (High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance), a 60 kW-class system installed on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, operational since around 2019–2021 for countering drones, small boats, and other threats. —The Army's DE M-SHORAD (Directed Energy Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense), a 50 kW laser on Stryker vehicles, with prototypes deployed overseas (OCONUS) as early as 2024 for counter-unmanned aerial systems (cUAS) and related threats. —Other systems like palletized high-energy lasers (e.g., P-HEL/LOCUST variants) and earlier demonstrators (e.g., on USS Ponce in 2014) confirm operational experience exists, though at modest scales (tens of kilowatts) and primarily for counter-drone/missil

Today, we defend against hundreds and hundreds of attack drones every day, and thousands and thousands every week and every month. Ukraine’s defense sector is building that capability even in the middle of a full-scale war. We also maintain a high interception rate against cruise missiles, thanks to the way we have built our air defense – and thanks to the support of all our partners who continue to provide Ukraine with defense assistance. I have a question for you – Do you really believe it would be RIGHT to leave outside NATO a country and a people with this level of defensive capability? From a speech at the NATO Defense Industry Forum. (2/5)
