Description

Andy Lowery joins Shawn Ryan 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. The conversation breaks down how the platform creates a focused electromagnetic field to disable electronics, the importance of mobility in modern warfare, and how systems like this are shaping the future of base and infrastructure defense. From autonomous deployment to 360-degree situational awareness, this is a firsthand look at next-generation counter-drone technology in action.

The fact that it sends out frequency that destroys electronics, but doesnt destroy itself in the process is the coolest thing to me. Thats pretty badass

"10 kilometers away, here come some hostile drones" that have been hugging the ground at 600 miles an hour, in a swarm... you have 37 seconds to react. Edit - "form a wall or shield"... so the drones program to split the swarm into multiple groups attacking from multpiple angles.

what's needed is one of these scaled down to be used to protect ground forces and people not inside a vehicle.
