   A more interesting aspect is the onset of drone warfare with associated   
   unknowns.   
   The drone with a machine gun seems to be the darling of the video game   
   generation. The TIKAD is the first and only Unmanned Aerial Solution (UAS)   
   armed with lightweight firearms. If the FORCE is strong in you, you can   
   navigate those trenches like you are    
   attacking the Death Star.   
   The other marvelous technology  makes these devices the hottest items to be   
   desired on the battlefield.   
   Not much longer before the war machines are all unmannned with machine   
   intelligence or remote control.   
   As far as the Russian soldier outside the communication loop, he misses the   
   newest chatter. Semiconductor technology allows for lightweight microwave   
   antidrone devices. Driving innovation, Epirus chose Gallium Nitride (GaN)   
   because of its ability to    
   operate at high voltages with low temperatures, high power density, to reduce   
   the size (S), weight (W) and power (P) of its products.  Chips from Taiwan   
   needed here.   
   Epirus’ Leonidas systems are not constrained by magazine depth nor capacity   
   and offer a far more cost-effective solution to countering electronic threats   
   as compared to kinetic approaches, which can cost millions for a single   
   munition. Epirus HPM    
   achieves rapid firing on any target with near-instant effects, without   
   reloading or overheating. Both Leonidas and Leonidas Pod are interoperable by   
   design and their scalability allows for seamless compatibility with partner   
   systems in support of a fully    
   integrated counter-electronics kill chain.    
      
   Drone detection and antidrone measures then required to protect against a   
   dreaded machine gun drone.   
   Microwave the devices, but bullets still needed to kill.   
      
   Of course, Ukraine wants all this for free.
