Space Force Deploys Lasers at Cape Canaveral Amid Drone Surge
Original: Space Force Adds Lasers at Cape Canaveral After 500 Port Drone Flights
The US Space Force has installed laser systems at Cape Canaveral following roughly 500 drone flights recorded at the port. The move points to growing concern over unmanned aircraft operating near sensitive launch and military facilities on Florida's Space Coast. Lasers are increasingly seen as a counter-drone option for protecting restricted airspace, and the deployment signals tighter security around America's busiest launch site.
Why now: Rising drone activity near a key military and space launch facility has prompted new defensive measures, drawing attention to counter-drone security.
