HIGH POWER MICROWAVE SYSTEMS
High Power Microwave (HPM) systems have become critically important components in modern counter-drone warfare. They represent a significant paradigm shift from traditional one-to-one defensive systems to scalable "one-to-many" capabilities specifically designed to counter drone swarms.
HPM systems are unique among counter-drone technologies in being specifically designed to take out swarms of drones simultaneously rather than one at a time. This addresses the fundamental challenge facing modern military forces: defending against cheap, mass-produced drones that can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars using interceptors that can cost up to $2 million per shot.
