Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –White Sands Missile Range was the site this weekend for testing effective ways to defend against drones. The Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Administration were involved in the testing of a high energy laser system. The Pentagon says one important aspect of the testing is that the system will be compatible with FAA Safety concerns. You may recall in late February the U.S. Military used the laser to shoot down a drone belonging to Customs and Border Protection near the U.S. Mexico border. The incident led to the closing of airspace around Fort Hancock, Texas by the FAA.
