MORFIUS is a reusable, multi-engagement, loitering, tube-launched interceptor equipped with an onboard seeker and a compact, high-power microwave effector to execute non-kinetic defeat of drones – including complex swarms

System defensive capability: MORFIUS – a reusable, high-power microwave (HPM)-based interceptor for C-UAS and C-swarm scenarios. • Enables multi-engagement and swarm defeat at significantly longer ranges than ground-based systems. • Ability to recover and reuse reduces stowed inventory requirements and cost compared to expendable weapons.

Engineered with decades of expertise in high-powered microwave (HPM) technology, MORFIUS is the leading compact airborne HPM system built to combat drones and drone swarms. It’s capable of simultaneously defeating multiple threats in a single defensive attack and can combat swarming technology.

Mar 23, 2021 · HPM technology allows to neutralise an electronic system generating currents with a voltage which is some orders of magnitude higher than those usually applied to those circuits, damaging or even melting them, thus obtaining a hard kill.

Jul 13, 2023 · A MORFIUS high-powered microwave weapon developed by Lockheed Martin was recently put through its paces at Yuma Proving Ground to evaluate its ability to defeat kamikaze drones.

Jul 13, 2023 · Lockheed’s MORFIUS is a tube-launched, fixed-wing UAS that flies close to the enemy target and defeats it using a HPM pulse. The LMM is a tripod fired, laser guided missile that defeats threats with an explosive warhead triggered by a proximity fuze when it gets close enough to the target.

Mar 23, 2021 · Lockheed Martin recently unveiled a counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) interceptor to take on combat drones and drone swarms on land, at sea, and in the air. The MORFIUS interceptor system is based on high-powered microwave technology and is capable of simultaneously neutralizing multiple targets, the defense manufacturer stated.

Mar 22, 2021 · Lockheed Martin presented its MORFIUS armed drone at the at AUSA Global Force Next Conference, 16-18 March. MORFIUS uses a High-Powered Microwave (HPM) designed to counter drone swarms in a future-proof response to an evolving threat.

Recent reports confirm that Lockheed Martin has developed and is now offering MORFIUS, a drone armed with High-Powered Microwave (HPM) to defeat or kill drone swarms out of the sky. MORFIUS is a reusable drone that can fit inside a six-inch diameter launch tube and weighs less than 30 pounds or 13.6 kilograms.

Feb 5, 2021 · Lockheed Martin says the new system built with the expeditionary force in mind to provide a critical layer of protection in the sky. The MoRFIUS is a high power microwave-based counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) interceptor designed to defeat drone swarms in flight.
