ThinKom Unveils ‘Alecto’ High-Power Microwave Weapon to Take Down Drone Swarms

In a battlefield increasingly shaped by drone swarms, California’s ThinKom Solutions is responding with a new high-power microwave (HPM) system designed to counter coordinated unmanned threats.

The system, known as Alecto, blends Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub (VITCS) technology with high-power vacuum electronics to generate directed microwave energy.

VITCS is a steerable mechanical antenna system that enables precise beam control with minimal spillover, helping concentrate effects on targets while reducing the risk of collateral damage.
