Army trains with a counter-drone laser at the border site of February's CBP drone shootdown

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division trained with the Army's 20-kilowatt AMP-HEL laser near Fort Hancock, Texas, on Nov. 2, the site where a military laser destroyed a CBP drone in February. Northern Command says its border task force defeated more than 300 drones this year, 11 with the laser, but it has not identified the targets or defined what counts as a defeat.
