  • HAVOC packages Leonidas-derived high-power-microwave technology on a universal sled mount to protect mobile forces and forward assets from drone swarms.
  • The Office of Naval Research manages the programme, which follows Epirus's earlier ExDECS delivery for Marine Corps evaluation.
  • Epirus said the award includes a HAVOC system, testing, training and support; its facilities can support low-rate output of roughly one system per week.

Epirus develops high-power microwave and directed-energy systems for counter-UAS, electronic warfare and short-range air defence missions. Its Leonidas platform is designed to disable drone and electronic threats through non-kinetic electromagnetic effects.
