Since its debut in August, it’s downed 11 drones — including those linked to cartels — with pinpoint precision, using an invisible heat beam controlled like a video game. While weather limits its use, this tech offers a game-changing way to permanently neutralize threats that once flew undetected. Commanders report a dramatic drop in activity since deployment, even as officials acknowledge other factors may be at play. With a massive new contract awarded and coordination ramping up with FAA and Mexican authorities, this laser isn’t just a tool — it’s becoming a frontline defense against armed surveillance drones.
