A new electromagnetic weapon, called Leonidas, was presented on tests in the United States as a solution against drone attacks.
Developed by the company EpirusTechnology has shown its efficiency by destroying 49 drones in seconds without the need to fire projectiles. The system works by issuing electromagnetic interference capable of blocking enemy equipment, dropping them immediately.

The advance occurs in a context in which drones have gained protagonism in conflicts, such as the wars between Russia and Ukraine and Israel’s clashes against Hamas. These equipment has been used not only for recognition, but also to neutralize high value targets such as tanks, ships and aircraft, which has led several countries to invest in both use and defense against them.
According to the CEO of EPIRUS, Andy Lowerytechnology can be applied to civilian environments such as stadiums, ports and airports to prevent attacks. The company, founded in 2018, has already collaborated with US military forces in operations in the Middle East and Philippines, and now bets on new investments to expand its role in the so-called cyber war, strengthening the American position in this strategic sector.
