Epirus and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) are unveiling a Stryker combat vehicle outfitted with the Leonidas high-power microwave (HPM) system at this year's Association of the US Army (AUSA) conference.

Scott Taylor, GDLS's director of US business development, spoke with Janes about the Stryker Leonidas technology demonstrator on 29 September ahead of the annual conference in Washington, DC, from 10 to 12 October.

The idea, in part, is to show military officials a potential pathway for integrating the Leonidas HPM onto a single, existing platform to down smaller drones and provide soldiers on the move with a counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) capability against drone swarms.

“It's amazing what our adversaries are developing, a small amount of munition on a small drone in large quantities that can rapidly overwhelm the capabilities of protected systems that we already have,” Taylor said.
