Microwave weapon that blows up pieces of attack drones
WASHINGTON, DC: Apparel Inc., a US startup, has developed a defense system called “Leonidas” that can destroy attack drones in mid-air with the help of powerful microwaves.
The basic principle of the Leonidas system is that microwave ovens commonly used in homes heat food faster.
However, the microwaves emitted from it are many times more powerful and focused than domestic ovens, which can destroy a drone by frying it in the blink of an eye.
