Airborne microwave counter-drone system enters prototype productionNewsDan Taylor Technology Editor Military Embedded SystemsMORFIUS concept via Lockheed MartinFARNBOROUGH, England. Lockheed Martin is increasing prototype production of its MORFIUS X-Rotor airborne high-power microwave counter-drone system and preparing additional flight tests, the company announced in a statement. The ground-launched system is designed to disable more than 50 uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) during a single flight by using a high-power microwave payload, the statement reads. Lockheed Martin has tested the system under flight, interception, and target-effect conditions in Arizona, California, and Oklahoma, the statement adds. Earlier versions of MORFIUS have undergone flight testing since 2017 and use payload technology from the same family of high-power microwave effectors.
