鎖定反制無人機飽和攻擊　導能武器結合自駕成亮點

Three U.S. Defense Firms Unveil Leonidas AGV
Directed-Energy and Autonomy Target Drone Swarm Threats

美國三家國防科技業者——Epirus、General Dynamics Land Systems（GDLS）與Kodiak AI——攜手推出「雷歐奈達」自主地面載具（Leonidas AGV），主打因應當前戰場日益嚴峻的無人機飽和攻擊威脅，提供新一代反制方案。

Three U.S. defense technology companies—Epirus, General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), and Kodiak AI—have jointly unveiled the Leonidas Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV), designed to counter the growing threat of drone swarm attacks with a next-generation solution.

商規卡車改裝　整合自駕與微波武器

Commercial Truck Platform Integrates Autonomy and Microwave Weapon

「雷歐奈達AGV」以FordF-600商用卡車為基礎打造，導入Kodiak AI的自動駕駛系統，並搭載Epirus研發的「雷歐奈達」導能微波武器，由GDLS負責整體系統整合，形成具高度機動性的反無人機作戰平台。

The Leonidas AGV is built on a Ford F-600 commercial truck platform, equipped with Kodiak AI’s autonomous driving software and Epirus’ Leonidas high-power microwave system, with GDLS responsible for overall integration—creating a highly mobile counter-drone platform.

成本效益成優勢　涵蓋軍民關鍵設施防護

Cost-Effective Solution for Military and Critical Infrastructure Defense

相較於傳統攔截系統，「雷歐奈達AGV」具備顯著成本優勢，不僅可用於軍事基地防空，也適用於機場、鐵路樞紐及各類關鍵基礎設施的反無人機任務，符合Joint Interagency Task Force-South（JIATF-401）提出的相關防衛需求。

Compared to traditional interception systems, the Leonidas AGV offers significant cost advantages. It can be deployed not only for military base defense but also for protecting airports, rail hubs, and other critical infrastructure, aligning with requirements outlined by the Joint Interagency Task Force-South (JIATF-401).

高層：需全新防禦思維　導能武器成未來關鍵

Executive: New Defense Thinking Needed as Directed Energy Gains Importance

Joe Lonsdale（洛瑞）指出，面對無人機飽和攻擊，傳統防禦模式已不足應對，必須採取「截然不同的防禦思維」。他強調，結合自主機動與導能武器的作戰模式，將成為未來戰場的重要發展方向。

Epirus CEO Joe Lonsdale stated that traditional defense approaches are insufficient against drone swarms, calling for a fundamentally new defensive mindset. He emphasized that combining autonomous mobility with directed-energy weapons will be a defining trend in future warfare.

武器系統持續升級　仍處原型驗證階段

System Advancing but Still in Prototype Testing Phase

Epirus表示，第一代「雷歐奈達」導能微波武器已於去年美菲「肩並肩」聯演中實際運用，第二代系統也已於今年2月完成測試。不過，GDLS指出，目前「雷歐奈達AGV」仍屬原型階段，尚未在完全自動駕駛狀態下進行實戰化反無人機測試。

Epirus noted that the first-generation Leonidas system was deployed during last year’s U.S.-Philippines Balikatan exercise, while the second generation completed testing in February. However, GDLS stated that the Leonidas AGV remains in the prototype stage and has yet to undergo live counter-drone testing in full autonomous mode.

自駕軍用化布局　延伸至JLTV作戰平台

Autonomy Expands into Military Platforms Including JLTV

此外，Kodiak AI已與美國海軍陸戰隊簽署合作，將自動駕駛技術整合至聯合輕型戰術車輛（JLTV），應用於「遠征火力遙控地面作戰系統」（ROGUE-Fires）相關作戰平台，顯示自駕技術正加速導入實戰領域。

Kodiak AI has also partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps to integrate its autonomous system into the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), supporting platforms associated with the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), highlighting the rapid militarization of autonomous technologies.
