Using High-Energy Laser, US Shoots Down Drones Near Mexico Border

The US Army successfully tested a high-energy laser system to neutralize drones in an operation near the Mexico border. The directed-energy weapon detects, tracks, and destroys targets using a concentrated light beam as part of a new generation of defensive capabilities.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure and border security operators should monitor the deployment and operational guidelines of directed-energy systems, as they represent emerging technologies that may affect airspace management and threat response protocols.
