Story summary

Epirus demonstrated Leonidas HPM system at a live-fire trial in Indiana, disabling 61 drones.
The test neutralized a 49-drone swarm with a single pulse of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Leonidas is designed to counter robotic threats and is described as the only mission-capable one-to-many solution.
The system uses Gallium Nitride semiconductors, making it smaller, more durable, and energy-efficient.
