Epirus’ GaN-based Leonidas high-power microwave system neutralizes all 61 drones in live-fire demo
What happened
Epirus demonstrated its Leonidas high-power microwave system, which uses GaN transistors, successfully neutralizing 61 drones in a live-fire test. The demo showcased the application of GaN technology in directed-energy defense systems for counter-drone swarms. Neutral: While a successful demo may generate long-term interest in military GaN demand, it represents a single R&D milestone with no immediate, quantifiable impact on commercial GaN supply, demand, or pricing.
