Problem
The proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including drones and drone swarms, presents a growing threat to critical infrastructure, military assets, and public safety. Traditional defense systems often struggle to effectively counter these asymmetric threats due to their speed, maneuverability, and coordinated attack capabilities.
Solution
Epirus develops high-power microwave (HPM) systems that provide electronic warfare and air domain awareness capabilities, offering a robust defense against evolving UAS threats. Their flagship product, Leonidas, utilizes solid-state, long-pulse HPM technology combined with AI to neutralize drone swarms and individual UAS. These systems can be deployed in fixed locations for layered short-range air defense, integrated into mobile platforms for on-the-go protection, or utilized in a compact form factor for specialized operations. Epirus's solutions offer a scalable and adaptable approach to counter-UAS (cUAS) defense, protecting critical assets from electronic attacks and ensuring air domain superiority. The company also provides air domain awareness solutions that continuously monitor, track, and identify UAS incursions, enabling proactive threat mitigation.
Target Audience
Epirus serves government, commercial, and advanced R&D organizations requiring robust electronic warfare and counter-UAS solutions for critical asset protection and air domain awareness.
