In a competitive field that includes major players like Boeing, Epirus is among the many companies racing to develop technologies to meet the growing demand for drone-zapping systems for the US Military. While each company brings its own unique approach, Epirus is betting on its microwave technology-based anti-drone platform to stand out as the preferred solution.
Backed by funding from investors like T. Rowe Price, Epirus is well-positioned to continue its leadership in the sector.
