New Era Of Asymmetric Warfare Requires Urgent Action

Epirus CEO Andy Lowery is calling for the US to adopt a new doctrine to address the emerging threat of asymmetric, robotic, and autonomous warfare, which he terms the Sixth Domain. Lowery warns that the US is vulnerable to drone attacks and that current defense systems are not equipped to handle the scale and complexity of these threats. Epirus’ Leonidas platform, which uses high-power microwave energy to disable drone swarms, is presented as a potential solution. The need for urgent action is emphasized, with Lowery stating that the US must adopt a new approach to defense or risk losing its dominance in the Sixth Domain, as reported by Breaking Defense.
