WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration and Pentagon said Friday they had signed an agreement to allow for the government’s use of a high-energy laser counter-drone system along the southern border.
The agreement came after the FAA conducted testing in New Mexico on the laser-system used by the Pentagon and Homeland Securit Department and validated that proper safety controls are in place and do not pose undue risks to passenger aircraft.
