Epirus

One system to defeat many threats, wherever Marines go. HAVOC is the second generation of Epirus HPM built for United States Marine Corps following the Expeditionary Directed Energy Counter-Swarm (ExDECS) system we delivered in 2025. Based on ExDECS feedback, the HAVOC system will introduce step-change improvements: more power, greater electronic lethality, wider coverage and better operational reliability.

🚨 JUST IN: The United States Marine Corps has awarded Epirus an $11 million contract for the High-power microwave Autonomous Vehicle Operational Capability (HAVOC) program. Epirus will deliver a sled-mounted HPM system for universal integration with manned and unmanned ground vehicles, extending Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) units' counter-UAS line of defense to secure forward-deployed assets, infrastructure and personnel. This award reflects where modern air defense is headed. As drone threats scale and grow more autonomous, adaptable protection has to move with maneuver forces. Epirus is answering the call.

You can't field what you can't prove. Testing is when emerging technology either earns its way to the warfighter or stalls out. As we continue to build in Oklahoma, the FISTA Innovation Park has selected an Epirus-developed high-power RF amplifier for use in its two new anechoic chambers. This commercial test instrument, the EPW-2001, will enable the FISTA to independently conduct specialized RF testing and evaluate HPM effects on electronic targets. U.S. Representative Tom Cole, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, joined Epirus and FISTA leadership for a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the facilities’ opening. With support from Epirus, engineers and Soldiers are building side-by-side in Lawton-Fort Sill. Press release linked below.

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸 Two hundred fifty years ago, the idea of defeating a swarm of drones with a high-power microwave system would have sounded like witchcraft. The pace of change in defense technology has compressed what used to take decades into years, and capabilities like high-power microwave that were theoretical for most of our Nation’s history are now operational realities. That innovative leap says as much about American ingenuity as anything else we’ll celebrate this Fourth of July. The founders bet on a country that could out-invent anyone. Two and a half centuries later, that's still the bet we're making.

Greece sits at one of the most consequential intersections in the world: geographically and geopolitically. On both sides of the Atlantic, the drone threat has become more sophisticated, more accessible and more urgent. To discuss the capabilities needed to meet this challenge across NATO states, we welcomed officials from the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence to Epirus HQ. The Leonidas HPM platform scales to defeat large volumes of electronic threats simultaneously, and at a cost that enables sustained critical point defense operations. Conversations like this are how the alliance adapts. And, yes, our Greek-inspired company name may have come up, too!

Yesterday, Epirus high-power microwave was demonstrated to U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth & Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering. Defeating saturation swarm attacks requires systems capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Epirus HPM does just that: its one-to-many capability pairs low-cost, low-collateral effects with an unlimited magazine to defeat swarms, fast-moving and fiber-optic-guided drones. HPM is effective, proven and ready to deploy at scale as part of a layered defense architecture.

The highest hurdle in defense tech isn't proving the technology works. It's scaling it. As we move into a new phase of operational growth, we're pleased to welcome two leaders who have built at this level before: Mark Cuyler as Chief Operating Officer and Mark Horton as Chief People Officer. Mark Cuyler has spent his career turning advanced technology programs into production realities at Saildrone, Amazon, Tesla and General Motors. Mark Horton has built people functions at some of the most innovative companies in the world, including Magic AI, SpaceX, Noom and Citadel. Welcome aboard, Mark & Mark.

Capability proven. Contracts secured. Epirus is back on Silicon Valley Defense Group's NatSec100 for the fourth year in a row.
