"Force Field" for tanks?

It has to be a explosive reactive armor ... if not.. it would be so cool to hear a tank commander shout: Shields Up!

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

NAh, I think it probably triggers the trip sensor and/or proximity sensors. The unit sits on the top, rear of the turret (it is digitilized out in the video) and looks like a mini-phalanex. THe question is, what does it "shoot out".

Yea, seems like a phalanex kind of defense to me too. What's the probability of success? It probably fires either more than one round... or some sorta explosive round/flak that's timed to hit/explode at a certain range.

I was thinking that, but notice that it only affects the warehead and not the projectile itself. In the slow motion sequnces, I see lots of things flying at the rpg. Maybe itse some form of electrically charged net?

It looks like it was some sort of Shotgun blast... Hmmmm... It's a really neat Idea. I wonder if theyll ever mount a Phalanx on a tank
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

I'm liking it already...

Next think you know they'll strap a CIWS on an Infrantryman's helmet too...


Whatever it is... damned nice sensor suite to run it I'm sure.
