US Space Force to deploy directed-energy lasers for counter-drone at Cape Canaveral

The post describes planned deployment of an AFRL-tested directed-energy (laser) system to kinetically defeat drones over Cape Canaveral, chosen in part to avoid RF jamming risks to spacecraft and launch infrastructure. While not a frontline battlefield report, it reflects adoption of laser C-UAS as an operational base-defense capability against persistent drone incursions.
