Lockheed Martin unveils drone-killing HPM system for swarms · 2 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Lockheed Martin has introduced the Morfius X-Rotor, a new ground-launched counter-drone system capable of neutralizing up to 50 enemy drones in a single mission. This reusable system utilizes High Power Microwave (HPM) technology to disable drones without explosives, aiming for a low cost per kill and reduced collateral damage. The Morfius X-Rotor is designed to address the growing threat of enemy drone swarms and is sensor-agnostic, meaning it can operate without relying on fire control radars in challenging electronic warfare environments. AI

IMPACT This counter-drone technology could impact the use of AI-powered drone swarms in warfare.
