USA will have a valuable tool to try to neutralize the drone effect in his military strategy: Leonidas. It’s about a microwave wave gun of very high power that manages to neutralize the contact of these devices with their operators so that they cannot reach their respective objectives.

Leonidas is a prototype work of the epirus company, specialized in defense tools and directed energy. The appliance has solid state gallium nitride power amplifiers with which to reach high levels of power without the need to resort to refrigeration technology. It can also launch countless waveforms against drones that fly over a certain area.
Epirus will deliver prototype Leonidas microwaves later this year under a contract for 66 million dollars signed with the United States Administration.
