US Military Deploys Direct Energy Weapons To Protect Key Sites
The US military is moving towards wider adoption of laser-based counter-drone systems at key locations, including near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and potentially in the nation’s capital. The decision comes as concerns over repeated drone incursions near military installations and other high-priority sites continue to mount. Recent incidents, including multiple waves of drones spotted over Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, have added urgency to the situation. The Pentagon’s plans were first reported by AeroTime.
