Today, we take a monumental step forward as a company with the unveiling of our new website and brand refresh. 

We are reintroducing ourselves, more committed than ever to our mission of overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. 

As the asymmetric tactics of our adversaries evolve, our future depends on building solutions that are better, faster, and more affordable.

We have tons of new content, videos, and more on our website. Direct your energy over to https://www.epirusinc.com/ to explore.

In the latest from Axios Future of Defense, Andy Lowery spoke with Colin Demarest on all things directed energy and asymmetric warfare—and what's next for our CENTCOM-bound HPM systems. 

Epirus chief executive Andy Lowery is bullish that his company's rig will perform well overseas. "We're going to put out this very elegant microwave energy field, and the bad guys are just going to be scratching their heads. 'What the hell is going on?'"

Maritime microwaves?

We’re taking our solid-state, long-pulse high-power microwave technology to the US Navy’s Advanced Naval Technology Exercise Coastal Trident Program (ANTX-CT24) to demonstrate its ability to counter autonomous surface vessels.

Kamikaze USVs pose an asymmetric threat to target ships due to their size, boat forms and advantages in radar and optical systems even in normal sea, air and visibility conditions.

With Epirus HPM, every wire in an electronic system is a potential vulnerability. 

This is how we win in the age of asymmetric warfare.

Want to hear two tech titans talk defense technology innovation and the new era of asymmetric warfare? 

Watch below for an electric conversation between CEO Andy Lowery and Epirus co-founder Joe Lonsdale on the American Optimist podcast. Andy and Joe explore the evolution of high-power microwave technology, how unmanned, attritable systems are changing the trajectory of warfare and what innovative “neo-primes” are doing to shakeup the Pentagon’s weapons procurement status quo.

“The system actually worked very well."

Lt. Gen. Robert Rasch, Director, US Army's Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office.

EPIRUS x OKLAHOMA

This summer, we're excited to have grown our Oklahoma presence with the opening of an office within Fort Sill's Fires Innovation Science and Technology Center (FISTA Innovation Park), a leading center for technological advancement and home to the Joint C-sUAS University in Lawton. 

Epirus’ leadership in high-power microwave technology is a natural addition to Oklahoma’s pioneering position in drone and counter drone technology research and development.

Leonidas is the most effective counter-swarm solution on the market, providing a multi-drone kill solution each time it fires. 

Epirus HPM is production-ready today, offering robust protection against asymmetric drone threats for bases, convoys, vehicles, aircraft and more.

From boat motors to surveillance cameras and beyond, anything with an electronic footprint is vulnerable to Epirus HPM.

The adoption of commercial technology across modern battlefields has re-shaped the decades-long norm of air superiority—and traditional air defense strategies. 

“We used to make the claim that since 1953 no American has been killed by air attack,” Slife said. “We can’t make that claim anymore. It calls into question, ‘What does air superiority actually look like?’ [Does] it look like 30,000 feet over the Yalu River in 1953 or does it look like below 3,000 feet with quadcopters with a hand grenade slung to the bottom of them?"

Last week, our team got together at HQ (and Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium) to celebrate six years since our inception as a company!

Since 2018, this team—with relentless support from our investors, customers and partners—has taken an idea between founders to a hundreds-strong, nationwide team of innovators.

Six years on, we're more committed than ever to our mission of overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. In record time, we transformed our tech from prototype to a production-ready high-power microwave solution to counter electronic threats.

As we have many times throughout history, we stand on the precipice of a new era of warfare, where commercially developed, highly distributed and highly networked tactics threaten to tip the scales on today's battlefield. At Epirus, we're dedicated to delivering technologies that will help the US and our allies maintain overmatch and preserve peace in a growingly complex world.

Here's to the past six—and many more—years of innovating with impact.

Another important effort by DoD to better collaborate with industry to rapidly develop, deliver and deploy counter-swarm technology—with Epirus HPM leading the pack. 

"The services or combatant commanders could also choose to embark on a prototyping effort for a particular solution like the U.S. Army did, for example, with its Epirus-developed Leonidas high-power microwave counter-drone solution, Parent noted. Some solutions could be chosen for immediate acquisition, he added, because a solution showed enough maturity to address current or future threats."
