国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯上月签署备忘录,授权国土安全部临时借用一套主动拒止系统(ADS)进行测试1。该系统是一种军用热射线武器,有效射程超过800米,被击中者会经历持续10至15分钟的刺痛感1。国土安全部将在美墨边境开展为期七个月的测试工作,从9月开始1。此举标志着该非致命定向能武器可能首次在美国边境地区的实际部署1。
埃尔森特罗边境管理部门覆盖约70英里的美墨边境1。美军曾在阿富汗部署过该系统,但在实际作战中未予使用1。2018年国土安全部部长基尔斯滕·尼尔森曾以"将移民和公民当作敌方战斗人员"为由拒绝过类似提议1。
The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a military-grade directed-energy weapon known as the Active Denial System at the U.S.-Mexico border.1 A memorandum signed last month by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizes DHS to temporarily borrow one ADS unit for a seven-month testing period beginning in September.1
The heat ray weapon has an effective range exceeding 800 meters and produces a "stinging sensation" that lasts between 10 and 15 minutes upon contact.1 The El Centro Border Patrol sector, which covers approximately 70 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, will be the focus of this testing initiative.1 While the U.S. military previously deployed the system in Afghanistan, it was never used in actual combat operations.1
In 2018, then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen rejected a similar proposal, stating that deploying such systems would amount to "treating migrants and citizens as enemy combatants."1
