At the beginning of the year, the Exdecs prototype was sent to Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, where it passed government tests. Epirus CEO Andy Loweri said Exdecs would give marine infantrymen an important advantage because they will be able to destroy the electronics of several drones at the same time using one system.
"This delivery is the most important step on the path to the introduction of necinotic solutions to combat" swarm ", which increase the mobility, survivability and deadly forces of our Marines forces," Lower said. According to Forbes, Exdecs can destroy both individual drones and large switches.
These weapons have some resemblance to laser installations, but the laser focuses its energy at a small point, and microwave weapons can emit a wide field of energy that disables all electronics inside the drones. The main advantage of Exdecs is the manufacturer's efficiency. One shot costs just five cents. Thanks to compact solid state electronics, the Exdecs system was compact. This is important because marines need a lightweight installation that can be towed by standard vehicles.
