  • Epirus Leonidas is meant to stop drone swarms with a high-power microwave beam. It has an Army contract. We explore what the company is offering the Navy.

      Likely wouldn't happen for OPSEC reasons. High risk of capture and reverse engineering by Putin boiz (although frankly the technology seems super simple on its face. Big magnetron with lots of power I assume)

    These are no joke. When first tested back in the 1990's. Troops miles ahead of the zone instantly crapped thier pants from the frequency. Imagine a EMP of the lower sound waves. Everything looses it function ability.

    How well does it microwave people ?

  • @spencer1980
    @spencer1980 9 місяців тому +1

    I dont know how well this would work. For really big antiship misiles or ICBMs, a directed energy weapon could probably handle them.
    We've seen how wildly effective the javelin is though. It really changes the cost benefit analysis for armor. Could we use a directed energy weapon, not to destroy an incoming missile, but to make it detonate prematurely????
    I mean these things DO have circuits. I was thinking maybe find the right frequency to ignite the primer or something, but could we even just use microwaves to fry the guidance system?

    Could they simply not cover the electronics with aluminum foil on cheep drones to mitigate the affects of this weapon? It has been proven effective so at distance could it not work?

    • @Samuel-tr9rj
      @Samuel-tr9rj 7 місяців тому +2

      You mean like a Faraday cage. It is not clear, but maybe this new High-power microwaves are able to emit so much energy per time that they could overwhelm the metal conductor covering them so that it isn't effective anymore. Of course, we must look their effectiveness once it is further tested.

    • @ZeroXSEED
      @ZeroXSEED 5 місяців тому +5

      Drones need antennas to operate, that antenna cannot be caged in any way that prevent signal from getting in, and aluminium foil do just that.
      This is why microwave is bonkers as anti-electronic weapon. Everything digitized and networked is vulnerable.
