Yesterday, Epirus high-power microwave was demonstrated to U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth & Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering. Defeating saturation swarm attacks requires systems capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Epirus HPM does just that: its one-to-many capability pairs low-cost, low-collateral effects with an unlimited magazine to defeat swarms, fast-moving and fiber-optic-guided drones. HPM is effective, proven and ready to deploy at scale as part of a layered defense architecture.

The highest hurdle in defense tech isn't proving the technology works. It's scaling it. As we move into a new phase of operational growth, we're pleased to welcome two leaders who have built at this level before: Mark Cuyler as Chief Operating Officer and Mark Horton as Chief People Officer. Mark Cuyler has spent his career turning advanced technology programs into production realities at Saildrone, Amazon, Tesla and General Motors. Mark Horton has built people functions at some of the most innovative companies in the world, including Magic AI, SpaceX, Noom and Citadel. Welcome aboard, Mark & Mark.

Directed energy is rapidly moving from niche capability to scalable operational necessity. As threats become cheaper, faster, and more autonomous, the ability to deliver low-cost, high-volume defense at speed is becoming a critical part of the future force. From counter-UAS to layered air and missile defense, scaled directed energy is reshaping how the Department of War thinks about deterrence, sustainment, and cost-per-engagement in contested environments.

The U.S. defense industrial base was built for a different era. Asymmetric, autonomous, saturation Sixth Domain threats don't wait for five-year acquisition cycles. The fix? Neo-Prime + OEM partnerships where scale meets speed and innovation meets integration. With three mobile counter-UAS systems introduced in as many years, Epirus + General Dynamics Land Systems are proof of this partnership blueprint in action.

Swam defeat with Epirus high-power microwave? "It all happens in less than a second." Andy Lowery x The Shawn Ryan Show
-
Leonidas “will change the face of drone warfare completely. It is a game-changer that will cripple the ability of bad actors to use drones." Andy Lowery joined The Shawn Ryan Show for an unfiltered conversation on his journey from Navy nuke to Neo-Prime CEO, the history of Epirus and the inner workings of the Leonidas high-power microwave platform. Come for real-life forcefield talk. Stay for exclusive footage of Leonidas AGV, a drone warfare state-of-play — and much more. Full episode linked in comments.

Speed offers no sanctuary for drones operating against Leonidas' electromagnetic interference. Leonidas defeats fast-moving drone targets with high-power microwave energy enabled by its active electronically scanned array, high-speed gimbaling and real-time targeting software. Rapid maneuvers and complex flight patterns are no match for software-defined HPM.

It's not every day you get to watch a swarm of drones get dropped out of the sky with a single burst of energy. We're all seeing how quickly drones have reshaped the battlefield. In places like Ukraine and with what's going on across the Middle East, low-cost drones are being used at scale to overwhelm traditional air defenses. Interceptors built for missiles and aircraft are now being forced to deal with threats that can built in your backyard. A few months ago, I was introduced to Epirus, a defense company taking a very different approach to the threat of drones. Their Leonidas system uses high-power microwaves to disable entire groups of drones at once. No interceptors, no kinetic hits. Just energy. Seeing it in person was quite surreal, and in our latest of episode of Access Granted, we break it all down and put Leonidas to test. 🎬 Full video is live now on YouTube.

The rise of drone swarms is quickly becoming one of the most complex challenges on the modern battlefield. Dozens of low-cost, often homemade systems that are fast, scalable, and extremely difficult to defend against. So the million-dollar question (likely billion-dollar question) becomes... how do you stop them? Well the team at Epirus thinks they have the answer. One that doesn’t rely on traditional kinetic defenses, but instead uses directed energy to neutralize threats. In the latest episode of Access Granted, we're getting up close to this technology to test this system and see it take on a live drone swarm in real time. 🎬 Full video at the link below: https://lnkd.in/gw95-HzG
