The war in Ukraine shows how commercial drones produced by DJI can be modified into quite dangerous weapons. It can carry grenades that are then dropped into enemy defense trenches and FPV-type drones become kamikaze drones. So the world's major powers began to take seriously the threat of small drones on the battlefield in the future.
The Tactical High-power Operational Responder (THOR) is a state-of-the-art defense system tested by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) which successfully repelled a group of drones in a recent test. If God Thor hits Thanos with lightning power, THOR hits drones in the air using high powered microwaves.
The THOR system uses high-powered microwave power to burn the internal components of a drone that enters its control zone. It differs from the High-Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) anti-drone system tested by the U.S. military and the Iron Beam used by Israel to perform the same task.
Each THOR can be packed into a 20-foot container for easy delivery to the battlefield using military cargo planes. Immediately after arrival, it can begin airspace defense operations from drones within three hours with only two crew members. It is much larger than the Epirus Leonidas system which uses high power microwaves.
