Other articles on the system suggest that it is capable of frying boards. Here’s one:
Like similar systems, Leonidas defends against drones by firing blasts of microwave energy that disrupts or destroys the uncrewed aircraft’s electronics, sending it crashing to the ground. It can even take on cruise missiles.
“Whether that electromagnetic energy spoils a drone’s electronics from working correctly or spoils a boat’s motor, or use your imagination, anything with little computers in it and stuff, is susceptible to these persistent fields of energy.”
“Leonidas was even used to take down a drone and ensure it dropped into a “software-defined, pre-identified safe zone.” How tidy.”
yeah this makes me think you’re right, it’s control override, not frying their boardsmaybe they’re getting sparky?if this system can take down a squad of fiber drones as easily, I’m all in.

TY for the links!
Indeed! I just went from pessimistic (prolly just signal jammers) to OMFG the situation on the ground is about to change
Happy for the excuse to go digging. Really interesting stuff.
