Our take

Epirus has established itself as a major player in the defense technology space. The company is rapidly scaling its multiple product lines to support both government and commercial markets.

Competing with the likes of Boeing, Epirus is one of hundreds of companies racing to build anti-drone weaponry to meet the rapidly rising demand to supply drone-zapping weapons to the U.S. Military. Each company has come to the market with its own technology, but Epirus is gambling that its microwave technology anti-drone platform will emerge as the leading, preferred option.

Epirus is well-positioned to continue be a leader in bringing forth enduring solutions, using some of its funding (led by T. Rowe Price) to refine its directed energy and power calibration technology platform, integrating it to a range of electronic systems with the goal of conserving energy and lengthening battery life.
