Lasers are already in use as targeting devices. The first laser weapons should be operational in about 10 years. There is some concern about them being used to blind opposing forces.

They have an operational system (prototype) already built but it requires a 747 to fly it. It will continue development but hopefully will never be deployed. You can't count on that in this world.

When they do deploy them, the soldiers will be shooting down the flying pigs.
