US Government Exploring Use of High-Energy Lasers Near Southern Border

The US government has been exploring the use of high-energy lasers near the southern border, according to reports. The system, known as LOCUST, was reportedly used to shut down El Paso’s airspace.

According to officials, confusion over the laser system led to the closure of the airspace. The incident occurred after a cartel drone was spotted in the area.

In response to the incident, President Trump stated that “people learn” from such events. The incident highlights the ongoing efforts by the US government to enhance border security measures.

Details about the laser system and its capabilities are not yet publicly available. However, officials have confirmed that it was used in conjunction with other security measures to address the cartel drone sighting.

The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of high-energy lasers as a tool for border security. The use of such systems is still experimental and has not been widely tested.
