HIGH POWER MICROWAVE
The Atlas 6 Leonidas Variant is a next-generation directed energy configuration of Adler Aerospace’s Atlas 6 UAV platform, integrated with the Epirus Pod – Leonidas, a compact high-power microwave (HPM) system. Designed for counter-drone and electronic threat neutralization, this variant delivers cutting-edge electromagnetic warfare capabilities from an agile, unmanned platform.
Key Features:
- Epirus Leonidas High-Power Microwave System:
- The Leonidas Pod delivers targeted bursts of high-power microwave energy capable of disabling swarms of drones, electronic systems, and RF-based threats instantly.
- Effective against both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and military-grade drones, as well as select ground-based electronics.
- Wide-Area and Precision Modes:
- The system supports precision targeting for single-object neutralization, or wide-area pulses to engage multiple airborne threats at once.
- Its scalable, software-defined architecture allows dynamic adjustments based on mission parameters.
- Fully Autonomous or Operator-Controlled Engagements:
- Can be operated autonomously via onboard threat detection sensors or remotely via ground control, allowing for flexible rules of engagement.
- Real-time telemetry and threat classification improve decision-making in fast-moving scenarios.
- High-Endurance Airborne EW Platform:
- With a maximum flight endurance of up to 528 minutes, the Atlas 6 Leonidas Variant can loiter over critical assets, forward bases, or urban areas, providing persistent electromagnetic overwatch.
- Strategic Applications:
- Ideal for counter-UAS defense, forward base protection, convoy overwatch, homeland security, and airfield defense.
- Offers a non-kinetic, reusable alternative to conventional air defense systems, minimizing collateral damage and logistical footprint.Atlas6HPM
