Defense startups Anduril and Epirus have combined their technology to create a system that can identify and defeat swarming drones—making them fall out of the sky.
The counter-drone system, which combines Epirus’ high-power microwave called Leonidas and Andril’s Lattice command-and-control technology, was put together for a recent U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory demonstration, the companies said.
“This integration with Epirus’ Leonidas provides a new capability to the warfighter that can be used as a part of a series of various layered defeat capabilities connected to Anduril’s Lattice Operating System,” the companies said in a statement provided to Defense One.
The Pentagon has become increasingly interested in stopping swarms of drones that fly in coordination with one another to attack a target. Swarming drones have been used by both Russia and Ukraine over the past year.
