US Marines’s new high-power microwave C-UAS can melt down multiple drones in seconds

The US Marines plans to deploy a next-generation high-power microwave (HPM) system capable of simultaneously intercepting multiple drones to enhance its anti-drone capabilities.

Epirus, a US-based counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) manufacturer, is developing the new HPM system – known as Leonidas Expeditionary – in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Joint Counter-Small UAS Office, and US Marine Corps Warfighting Lab.
 
Epirus is developing the Leonidas Expeditionary – with the program name Expeditionary Directed Energy Counter-Swarm (ExDECS) – as part of a $5.5 million contract award from the US Navy’s ONR.

Epirus will deliver a completed ExDECS HPM system to the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab by the end of 2024 as part of the contract.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There are already two threads about this anti-drone system:

https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,532080.0.html

Is a third thread really adding anything new?
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
