Pentagon Boosts Defenses of Trump's Florida Residence with Anti-Drone Laser System
Published
The U.S. military has deployed an anti-drone laser system as part of the air defense network protecting President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. This was reported on November 4 by the Interfax news agency.
Laser systems are designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles. Such installations can detect small flying objects and disable them. The main advantage of a laser is that it does not require conventional missiles or shells to hit a target.
Mar-a-Lago is Trump's private residence in the city of Palm Beach. The site is often used for meetings and official events, so security issues here are especially important. The appearance of the new system shows that protecting important facilities from drones is becoming an increasingly pressing task for government agencies.
The published fragment of the report does not provide details on the number of installations, their operational timelines, or technical specifications.
