Electromagnetic Weapons Zap Drone Swarms

“Drone swarms are a nightmare for security officials all over the world, whether they’re overwhelming a Russian air base or hovering near an American airport,” Axios reports.

“Defense contractor Epirus this week demonstrated its drone-frying Leonidas to observers from various U.S. military services and foreign countries, including some in the Indo-Pacific.”

“In the climax of the two-hour show, Leonidas went up against 49 quadcopters, the largest grouping it’s ever faced. The ‘forcefield system,’ which weaponizes electromagnetic interference, crippled all of them at once. No pricey projectiles. No fireballs.”
