SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT:
Andy Lowery, CEO of @epirus will be joining the Space & Defense Investor Summit.
Epirus is scaling Leonidas, a solid-state high-power microwave system that defeats drone swarms non-kinetically with what the company calls an unlimited magazine.
The company has raised over $550M from @8vc, @WashingHarbour (& others) and is moving Leonidas into Army programs and allied fielding.

If you can build fast and deliver at speed—the Department of War is ready to do business.

Could the Golden Dome Stop Drone Swarms?
“Everything’s a target now. You can’t say anymore that you’re safe just because you’re offshore or away from the battlefield. It’s not improbable for even something like a carrier to become susceptible to a drone attack. Warfare is changing—it’s a completely new way of fighting.”

Andy Lowery joins me for an outdoor demo of cutting-edge defense technology, showcasing the Leonidas autonomous ground vehicle and its role in modern battlefield protection. Built through a collaboration between Epirus, General Dynamics Land Systems, and Kodiak Defense, this mobile system integrates advanced radar, autonomous navigation, and directed energy capabilities to detect, track, and neutralize drone threats in real time.
I need one of these for the studio. 😂

I’ve been waiting a long time to sit down with Andy Lowery, the CEO of Epirus, a defense tech company leading the charge in counter-drone warfare. We get into the development of their flagship Leonidas system, designed to neutralize drone swarms, and how this technology is changing modern combat. Andy shares his background as a U.S. Navy nuclear engineer serving aboard an aircraft carrier before transitioning into leadership roles at Raytheon and into the startup world. He also talks about bringing a Leonidas system out to Vigilance Ranch where he gave a complete breakdown of how it works. You can watch both his full episode and the Leonidas demo video now on the Shawn Ryan Show YouTube channel.

“We had 12 drones come and surveil a nuclear site multiple times, and there's a struggle. They got overflown by swarms—high-tech, with a much longer range, and totally impervious to jamming. A wave of 12 completely resistant. It flew over, surveilled everything, and flew back..."
What do you think it was?

The threat of drone swarms presents one of the biggest challenges to the modern battlefield. And the million dollar question (likely billion) is… how do you stop them?
Well if you ask @epirus, they think they’ve found the solution.
On the latest episode of Access Granted, we’re diving into the technology being developed to counter the threat of swarms and most importantly, we’re putting it to the test.
🎬 Full video out now. Link below.

As the U.S. prepares to host the 2026 World Cup, we face an unprecedented security challenge. The threat of drones is putting our soft targets at risk.
We must get the right infrastructure and counter-drone systems in place now to protect the public.

Congrats to the @Epirus team on their new autonomously driven Leonidas HPM. Exactly the kind of counter-UAS capability America needs right now 🇺🇸.
When swarms show up over our bases and critical infrastructure, operators should be able to flip a switch, safely fry the sky, and keep our people and assets out of harm’s way.
NEW: Leonidas Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV) debuts at AUSA Global Force.
A mobile, autonomously-driven counter-UAS system pairing Epirus' Leonidas HPM platform with Kodiak's AI-powered driving system.
Built in partnership with @GD_LandSystems + @KodiakRobotics .

"We’re going to see hundreds or thousands of drones that are overwhelming our traditional air defenses."
I interviewed Andy Lowery, CEO of @epirus, about the dangers of the drone age for @arenamag.
A $3,000 drone can kill a $10M tank.

NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: The Big, Beautiful Golden Dome
As part of his executive order onslaught upon taking office in January, President Trump laid out plans for a futuristic aerial defense system dubbed “Golden Dome.”
Specifically, the executive order called for non-kinetic capabilities to augment kinetic systems in order to defend against “advanced aerial attacks” (see: “drones”) and the tech industry appears poised to play a major role — Palantir, Anduril, and defense tech startup @epirus have emerged as frontrunners to build key components of the project.
Today for Pirate Wires, @rylzdigital shares insights from Epirus CEO Andy Lowery on how his company plans to help protect our skies in the most innovative of ways...
...by using high-powered microwave forcefields to zap drones out of the sky (no seriously).
Says Lowery: “With Epirus’ Leonidas High Power Microwave platform, we’re proposing a production-ready, Army-tested, non-kinetic, electromagnetic forcefield over critical infrastructure, capable of disabling all drones that enter into its field of energy.”
Read on for this exclusive look at how the startup is thinking about the future of aerial defense as part of Trump’s ambitious Golden Dome project. Link threaded.
