Lockheed Morfius X-Rotor reusable HPM counter-UAS for swarms

Lockheed Martin unveiled Morfius X-Rotor, a ground-launched, recoverable and reusable airborne high-power microwave (HPM) system intended to neutralize large drone swarms (claimed >50 drones per flight). The novelty is a one-to-many, reusable airborne HPM effector designed for low cost-per-kill and integration with existing C2 without unique sensors/radars, offering an alternative to expensive kinetic interceptors.
