Leonidas HPM
The Capacity Layer
Leonidas HPM Effectors are solid-state, software-defined, long-pulse high-power microwave systems designed for precise counter-electronics effects.
Stop Swarms and Dark Drones with Low Collateral Damage
Leonidas can neutralize a single target in confined environments or disable multiple threats across a wide area, in a smaller, lighter system with enhanced operator control and safety.
One-to-many defense
Scalable, cost-effective one-to-many defense that defeats drone swarms at any size.
Stops dark drones
Proven effects against fiber-optic-controlled and autonomous UAVs, with reliable performance against a range of evasive behaviors.
Low collateral
Software sets exactly when and where it defeats drones, so operators can hold designated safety zones.
Software-defined
Software-driven control that evolves rapidly for continuous mission readiness.
Scalable and Modular for Multiple Missions
Leonidas is designed for the capability and suitability of the mission: Protection Conex, Ground Vehicle, Semi-fixed Base, Modular Sled Mount and Vehicle Protection.
Point defense and semi-fixed sites
Layered short-range protection around critical assets, with Leonidas on its trailer at the site it protects.
Mobile formation protection
On its modular sled mount Leonidas adapts to different vehicles and systems, so point defense moves with the mission.
On the record
Fielded. Proven in Live Fire.
Epirus Point Defense is built around hardware already delivered to the U.S. Army and proven against swarms in live fire.
- Jan 2026Leonidas disables a fiber-optic guided drone, a threat built to ignore jamming.
- Aug 202561 of 61 drones defeated in live fire at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, including a 49-drone swarm with one pulse.
- Jul 2025U.S. Army contract for two IFPC-HPM Generation II systems.
- May 2024Four IFPC-HPM systems delivered to the U.S. Army, with new equipment training and developmental testing complete.
