华盛顿，3月4日（路透社） – 参议员向路透社透露，美国官员将于周三向关键参议员举行机密简报会，此前得州发生两起涉及政府无人机的事件，促使联邦航空管理局（FAA）关闭了飞机空域。
2月25日，美军误击了一架政府无人机，使用的是基于激光的反无人机系统，这促使FAA扩大了得州汉考克堡附近的禁飞区域。

2月18日，FAA表示将暂停得州附近埃尔帕索机场10天内的所有航班，但在约8小时后反转决定并解除了这一禁令。FAA采取这一行动是由于海关与边境保护局在墨西哥边境附近使用高能激光系统应对无人机威胁。
“我要求举行机密简报会，因为我想确切了解发生了什么，”得州共和党籍参议院商务委员会主席特德·克鲁兹告诉路透社。
国会助手称，来自FAA、五角大楼和国土安全部官员的简报仅限于三个关键委员会的最高级别共和党人和民主党人参加。

参议院商务委员会高级民主党人玛丽亚·坎特韦尔参议员表示，无人机袭击问题的重要性日益增加，但强调军方和FAA需要协调行动。
“我希望我们能听到他们提出更好的计划，以解决未来的类似问题。但环境正在变化，”坎特韦尔说。
五角大楼拒绝对简报会置评。
路透社此前报道，埃尔帕索机场关闭是由于FAA担心激光反无人机系统的使用，而该机构同意在五角大楼同意推迟进一步测试（等待FAA安全审查）的情况下解除对埃尔帕索的限制。
一名国会助手向路透社透露，海关与边境保护局在2月部署了激光技术击落四架涉嫌与贩毒集团有关的无人机，尽管FAA曾警告称该技术在商业航班附近使用尚未被认定为安全，且相关机构表示该激光系统此前从未在国内部署过。

US to hold classified briefing for senators on Texas drone incidents
March 4, 2026 4:21 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) – U.S. officials will give key senators a classified briefing on Wednesday after two incidents in Texas involving government drones that prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to close airspace to airplanes, senators told Reuters.
The U.S. military on February 25 errantly shot down a government drone with a laser-based anti-drone system, which prompted the FAA to expand an area where flights are barred around Fort Hancock, Texas.

On February 18, the FAA said it was halting all flights for 10 days at the airport in nearby El Paso, Texas, only to reverse course and lift its order after about eight hours. The FAA action had been prompted by the use of the high-energy laser system by the Customs and Border Protection agency near the Mexican border to address drone threats.
“I asked for the classified briefing because I want to understand exactly what’s happened,” Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, told Reuters.
The briefing, from officials at the FAA, Pentagon and Homeland Security Department, is limited to the top Republicans and Democrats on three key committees, congressional aides said.

Senator Maria Cantwell, top Democrat on the Commerce Committee, said the issue of drone attacks has taken on increasing importance but emphasized the need for the military and FAA to coordinate.
“I hope we’re going to hear from them some better plan how we try to address these things in the future. But the environment is changing,” Cantwell said.
The Pentagon declined to comment on the briefing.
Reuters reported the El Paso closure stemmed from FAA concerns about the use of the laser-based anti-drone system and that the agency agreed to drop its restrictions around El Paso if the Pentagon agreed to delay further testing pending an FAA safety review.
CBP deployed the laser technology in February to take down four suspected cartel drones, despite warnings from the FAA that the technology had not been deemed safe to use in the same vicinity as commercial flights, a congressional aide told Reuters, adding agencies had said the laser had never before been deployed domestically.
