The Army just used a 20-kilowatt laser to take out three drones
摘要
美国陆军近日在得克萨斯州美墨边境附近使用高能多用途激光武器击落三架无人机。行动由北方司令部下属的南部边境联合特遣部队于8月25日晚至26日凌晨执行，官方称这些无人机对美军及海关与边境保护局人员构成物理威胁。所用技术源自陆军高能多用途激光系统项目，该系统由国防技术公司AeroVironment开发，名为“蝗虫”激光武器系统，可安装在军用车辆上。该公司于2025
This week, the US Army used a high-energy multipurpose laser to shoot down three drones near the US-Mexico border, which official reports claimed were “posing a physical threat to US military personnel and CBP partners,” referring to Customs and Border Patrol.
The operation took place between the night of August 25 and the early morning of August 26 in the vicinity of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and was led by the Joint Task Force Southern Border (JTF-SB), which operates under US Northern Command. Authorities confirmed that, during the operation, agents used technology derived from the Army’s High-Energy Multipurpose Laser (AMP-HEL) system, a military program focused on implementing high-energy lasers for new defense capabilities.
Available information suggests that this initiative began in September 2025, when AeroVironment, a company specializing in defense technology, delivered the first two functional prototypes of these laser-based weapons to the US Armed Forces. Two new, improved systems were delivered as the program was expanded in December of the same year. According to the manufacturer, this particular platform, called the Locust Laser Weapon System, is designed to be mounted on military vehicles, as the Army has done with the versions it has received.
