US military tests laser cannon to destroy unexploded bombs
The American military is testing a high-powered laser cannon mounted on an armoured truck to clear air fields of unexploded bombs and booby-traps.
The 3KW laser operated with a games console-style controller will be able to detonate unexploded ordnance and makeshift bombs at 300 yards.
A robotic arm fitted to the vehicle can also dig around bombs and haul up 50lb of earth and debris at a time.
