She also loved fpasta and ice cream, 'which she ate with a greediness worthy of a mischievous little scamp.'

US Army reveals armoured trucks fitted with LASERS to blast mines out of the ground and explode stray bombs  

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (June 18, 2015) -- The U.S. Army and Air Force are working together to develop mine-resistant, ambush-protected, or MRAP, vehicles with laser technology. 

Before, when the military wanted to disable a bomb, highly-trained bomb disposal specialists wore body armor, protective suits or used robots to render an area safe. 

With lasers, operators can negate the threat of improvised explosive devices, makeshift bombs, mines, and other unexploded explosive ordnance from a safe distance. 

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center, or AMRDEC, Prototype Integration Facility, or PIF, U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command and the Redstone Test Center developed the technology.

The AMRDEC PIF will integrate the U.S. Air Force's laser, interrogator arm, console and other features into the Category I Cougar MRAP.

The vehicles would be able to safely explode mines and other explosives from up to 300 metres away, while a robot arm can move debris and allow the laser to get a clear shot.
