HEAVILY-ARMOURED vehicles loaded with laser cannons will be deployed by the US Army within the next three years.
The upcoming weapon systems each chew through enough energy to power several homes and can take down drones, helicopters and incoming missiles.
Officially known as "directed energy lasers", they'll hit battlefields in the year 2022 attached to a platoon of four vehicles, an army report stated.
