"The Pentagon is considering sending the laser system to Fort Lesley J. McNair, where several drones of unknown origin were spotted earlier this month."
"Deploying the lasers to the high-traffic airspace over D.C. may complicate the proposal."
"On March 9, Service members at the Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, were given a shelter-in-place order after an unmanned aircraft was spotted in the sky."
"The order was lifted later in the day, but drone sightings persisted for the rest of the week."
The Pentagon is evaluating the deployment of advanced anti-drone technology at Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C., following sightings of unidentified drones. This consideration arises after Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were reported to be at risk. The presence of drones in high-traffic airspace complicates the proposal. Additionally, drone sightings prompted a shelter-in-place order at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana earlier this month, indicating a broader concern regarding drone activity in military areas.
