Inside The Autonomous Truck Built to Kill Drones (Patreon)

Andy Lowery joins Shawn Ryan for an outdoor demo of cutting-edge defense technology, showcasing the Leonidas autonomous ground vehicle and its role in modern battlefield protection. Built through a collaboration between Epirus, General Dynamics Land Systems, and Kodiak Defense, this mobile system integrates advanced radar, autonomous navigation, and directed energy capabilities to detect, track, and neutralize drone threats in real time. The conversation breaks down how the platform creates a focused electromagnetic field to disable electronics, the importance of mobility in modern warfare, and how systems like this are shaping the future of base and infrastructure defense. From autonomous deployment to 360-degree situational awareness, this is a firsthand look at next-generation counter-drone technology in action.
