Leonidas uses pulsed microwaves — extremely short bursts of radio-frequency (RF) energy.
-
Power: hundreds of megawatts peak (very high, but only for microseconds).
-
Frequency: not publicly disclosed; likely in the GHz range (similar to radar, but orders of magnitude stronger).
-
The pulse couples into drone antennas, wiring, and circuits.
-
Creates voltage surges far beyond design limits.
