General Dynamics and Epirus Inc. are working together to develop a high-powered microwave beam weapon.
The weapon will be able to blast microwave radiation across a wide arc, mowing down drone swarms.
The weapon will also be able to burn out the engines of vehicles and even boats, and how it will affect people is unknown.
Two U.S.-based defense contractors are working on what could be the most promising solution to the problem of drone swarms yet. The two, General Dynamics and Epirus, Inc., are teaming up to place a high powered microwave cannon on an armored vehicle used by the U.S. Army. The result could be a weapon capable of tackling drone swarms and disabling vehicles on land and at sea, but the big question is how it would affect human beings.
