Pentagonul a stabilit noul mod prin care vrea să-și apere bazele militare împotriva dronelor

The U.S. military is piloting four directed energy weapon systems for drone defense at military bases, responding to Congressional requests. These systems include high-energy lasers and high-power microwaves designed to neutralize drones without traditional munitions. The program, coordinated by JIATF-401, aims to test these technologies in operational environments to enhance national defense. The selected systems are from AeroVironment, Epirus, Kord, and Boeing, each with unique capabilities for targeting drones. Cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency are key focuses of the pilot program, with deployment plans expected within 180 days.
