Epirus successfully demonstrated its Leonidas VehicleKit, a high-power microwave system, by disabling a fiber-optic controlled drone during a live-fire test at a U.S. government site in December 2025. This marks the first documented use of weaponized electromagnetic interference to neutralize such drones, addressing operational challenges posed by their immunity to traditional electronic warfare methods. The Leonidas system utilizes non-ionizing radiation and precise energy targeting to minimize collateral damage while effectively countering evolving aerial threats.
