La empresa EPIRUS Inc. especializada en el desarrollo de Sistemas de Armas de Energ\u00eda Dirigida (DEW) para la neutralizaci\u00f3n de drones (C- UAS), ha entregado al US ARMY para evaluaci\u00f3n, el 4to prototipo de su sistema Indirect Fire Protection Capability- HIgh Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM). La citada Fuerza, est\u00e1 planeando enviar estos sistemas prototipo a medio Oriente para su evaluaci\u00f3n operacional, en condiciones muy cercanas a la realidad que se observa en los conflictos actuales. Las DEW son sistemas que los soldados no disponen a\u00fan y por ello, se requiere capacitaci\u00f3n y adaptaci\u00f3n, as\u00ed como la integraci\u00f3n de estas armas a otros componentes de la \u201ckill-chain<\/em>\u201d (C&C. Radar, otros sensores, A Def Ae, etc), para verificar las capacidades reales de estas innovadoras armas y su efectividad frente a los UAS.<\/p>\n

SMD 2024 \u2014 The US Army is still planning to send high-power microwave prototypes to the Middle East to test out drone swarms again, but it\u2019s taking just a bit longer than initially planned to get them there, according to a three-star general.<\/p>\n

After Epirus delivered its fourth and final Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High-Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM<\/a>) prototype to the service earlier this year, soldiers began testing with the new class of weapons. Through that process, the Army decided it needed to make kill chain adjustments, according to Lt. Gen. Robert Rasch, the Director of Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system actually worked very well, but we had some, some additional work to do, from a suitability perspective,\u201d he told Breaking Defense today. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t the weapon system \u2026 [but] how the weapon system fits into the larger kill chain. So we\u2019ve added some capability to the system to make it easier for the soldier to implement.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he didn\u2019t detail the changes, he said the new counter-drone weapon has received additional \u201csensing capability\u201d so operators can be \u201cabsolutely confident\u201d that they\u2019re directing the energy at the right spot at the right time. Once those changes are made, he said soldiers will receive additional training on how to use the weapon before it is deployed abroad for additional testing.<\/p>\n

If all goes as planned, the first IFPC-HPM prototype could be inside the Middle East within six to nine months. (Rasch did not disclose that location, but Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George\u2019s office previously told Breaking Defense that the US Central Command area had been selected.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to work through some of the process \u2026 not bureaucratic, but work through all the safety release stuff, all the directed energy weapons process to actually send something like that down range,\u201d Rasch added.<\/p>\n

The proliferation of drones and other aerial threats has promoted a military race to quickly develop and field new systems to counter them, and the service is focused on ways to reduce the cost-per-shot kill. Directed energy systems \u2014 like high-energy lasers and high-power microwaves \u2014 provide the opportunity to do just that and George is using soldiers inside the CENTCOM region to test them out against real-world threats and conditions like dust.<\/p>\n

If and when IFPC-HPM makes its debut in the Middle East, it will be joining a host of high-energy lasers already over there including Stryker-mounted\u00a050-kilowatt laser\u00a0<\/a>prototypes.<\/p>\n
