Epirus develops directed-energy and counter-electronics systems, including high-power microwave technology for counter-unmanned-system missions.
Products and platforms
- Leonidas Product family · Counter-UAS
A family of software-defined solid-state high-power microwave systems.
What does Epirus offer?
Epirus publishes capabilities in long-pulse high-power microwave systems, air-domain awareness and advanced electronics. Its portfolio describes fixed and mobile electronic-warfare configurations and integration with sensors and other platforms. This makes the sensor, effector and integration boundary a useful starting point: a requirement to detect a drone is different from a requirement to produce an electronic effect against it.
Questions for a shortlist
Identify the offered configuration, external sensors, command interface and power or mobility dependencies. Ask what testing supports the specific threat and operating environment you care about, and who owns integration and site acceptance. Keep manufacturer demonstration claims separate from the acceptance test and operational approvals for your intended deployment.
