Will vehicle cannon become obsolete?
Over the past few weeks, I've published two articles about the increasing use of larger cannon aboard infantry fighting vehicles (IFV's) and armored personnel carriers (APC's): A bigger gun for lighter armored vehicles?

Trouble is, on the horizon is another development that may make them all redundant. I refer, of course, to the vehicle-mounted laser.
