北美防空司令部证实在海湖庄园周边部署地面防空系统：应特勤局要求增设反无人机能力
北美防空司令部（NORAD）与美国北方司令部近日证实，应美国特勤局要求，已在佛罗里达州 Palm Beach 的海湖庄园（Mar-a-Lago）周边部署地面防空装备与反无人机系统。佛罗里达州当地媒体拍摄的画面显示，两套「复仇者」（Avenger）近程防空系统被安置在庄园东侧 Lake Worth Lagoon 的一艘驳船上，距庄园约三英里的特朗普总统国际机场周边也部署了同型系统。
NORAD 在给事实核查机构与媒体的声明中表示，这些地面防空装备与反无人机能力是在 NORAD 与北方司令部的权限下、应特勤局要求部署的，为保护行动「增加了一层互补的技术手段」，但出于行动安全无法提供更多细节。特勤局则表示，该局正处于「威胁升高的环境」，持续调整保护行动、引入新的工具与技术。
「复仇者」系统以悍马车为底盘，每套装有八枚「毒刺」便携式防空导弹，是美军现役的近程防空装备。军事媒体《战区》（The War Zone）11 月 2 日报道，10 月 31 日拍摄的照片还显示，现场另有一套装在战术车辆上的激光反无人机系统，以及包含雷达、电子侦察与干扰设备的反无人机套件。相关部署自 10 月下旬起陆续被当地媒体与居民注意到，事实核查机构 Snopes 10 月 30 日向 NORAD 与特勤局求证后，将网传「美军在海湖庄园部署防空导弹系统」的说法评定为属实。
海湖庄园是特朗普总统的主要居所之一，他经常在那里度过周末。据当地媒体报道，上周一架民用飞机飞入海湖庄园上空的限制空域后曾被战机拦截。此轮防空部署被公开确认，正值 11 月 3 日中期选举前夕。
NORAD Confirms Ground-Based Air Defense Deployed Around Mar-a-Lago at Secret Service Request
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command have confirmed that, at the request of the U.S. Secret Service, they have deployed ground-based air defense assets and counter-drone capabilities in and around Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Footage aired by Florida local media shows two Avenger short-range air defense systems mounted on a barge in Lake Worth Lagoon beside the estate, with additional systems positioned around President Donald J. Trump International Airport, about three miles to the west.
In a statement provided to fact-checkers and news outlets, NORAD said the assets were deployed under NORAD and U.S. Northern Command authorities at the Secret Service's request and 'add a complementary layer of technology to enhance protection,' adding that it could not provide further details for operational security reasons. The Secret Service said it is operating in a 'heightened threat environment' and continuously adapts its protective operations with new tools and technology.
The Avenger is a Humvee-mounted system carrying eight Stinger missiles and is the U.S. Army's short-range air defense platform. The military news site The War Zone reported on November 2 that photographs taken on October 31 also show a vehicle-mounted laser counter-drone system at the site, along with counter-drone kits including radar, electronic support measures and jammers. The deployment was first noticed by local media and residents in late October; the fact-checking site Snopes rated the claim that the military had deployed air defense systems at Mar-a-Lago as true on October 30 after NORAD and the Secret Service confirmed it.
Mar-a-Lago is one of President Trump's primary residences, where he frequently spends weekends. Local media reported last week that a fighter jet intercepted a civilian aircraft that entered the restricted airspace over the estate. The confirmed deployment comes on the eve of the November 3 midterm elections.
