American defense companies have demonstrated their microwave anti-drone system, called "Leonidas Expedition," which showed good effectiveness in countering drone swarms during testing, claiming to have shot down 49 small quadcopter drones with a single pulse emission, although the video only shows five being shot down.
Micro-wave anti-drone weapons, especially high-power microwave weapons, are becoming revolutionary equipment for countering the threat of drone swarms, thanks to their unique area-effect capability. Their characteristics include emitting high-energy electromagnetic pulses to interfere with or burn out the electronic components of drones. Due to the wide beam of the emitted pulse, it can cover an area at once, achieving an area-effect result. Moreover, microwaves travel at the speed of light and can instantly cover the target. As long as there is sufficient electrical power, it can almost achieve unlimited firepower.
