The Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have announced plans to conduct a series of tests in New Mexico to evaluate advanced laser systems designed to counter drone threats. The tests will take place at the White Sands Missile Range, where a task force will assess the effectiveness and safety of high-energy laser weapons aimed at neutralizing unauthorized drones. This joint effort comes amid ongoing concerns about drone incidents, particularly those reported in Texas, prompting a need for improved government coordination and response strategies. As part of these developments, a classified briefing for key senators is expected to address the implications of recent drone incidents.
