The Indirect Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) is probably what you're looking for.

The US Army is looking to field a demonstrator by 2022 & deploy by 2024.

They're exploring both laser and microwave / EM for the counter-UAS role. In complement to existing SAMs for higher-value/capability targets.
