didnt one of our presidents want to build a gigantic one of these to cover the united states back in like the 60's?!?!? crazy sh**. keep up the good work science nerds hehe

holy cow or holy jewish...

whats next Invicible bomb?..

Hold on...is it actual a force field like in the scifi movies or it just a field that deactivates misslils when they get to close? Do they stop bullets? Or people walking into them?

That's crazy. The inventors of this had to be trekkie nerds.

Not an actual force field. The system works by firing a bullet at incoming RPGs to detonate them prematurely.

so it works on the same basic premise as the phalanx CIWS?

Pretty much. Except it seems to work better.

I want one of those for Christmas! Imagine building a snow fort and have this system implimented! I'd be king of the mountain!

Hey this is VERY COOL technology!

And we did it without Alien's help!

That's the most kewlest thing I've ever seen. I want one for my car.

So technically its not a force field...it just shoots a bullet at a missel?

pure speculation, the technology is classified

We have some thing like that in place now. There are a coupla gaps in the system though.

Cool. Looks like it dosen't completely destroy the missile, so there's still the non-explosive impact to worry about.

Lizardian_guy already posted the pertinent information about it. Incase you missed it:

The Trophy active protection system creates a hemispheric protected zone around the vehicle where incoming threats are intercepted and defeated. It has three elements providing – Threat Detection and Tracking, Launching and Intercept functions. The Threat Detection and Warning subsystem consists of several sensors, including flat-panel radars, placed at strategic locations around the protected vehicle, to provide full hemispherical coverage. Once an incoming threat is detected identified and verified, the Countermeasure Assembly is opened, the countermeasure device is positioned in the direction where it can effectively intercept the threat. Then, it is launched automatically into a ballistic trajectory to intercept the incoming threat at a relatively long distance.

Specific details about the composition and mechanism of this explosive interceptor device are vague. From the briefing provided by US sources, Defense Update understands that Trophy is design to form a "beam" of fragments, which will intercept any incoming HEAT threat, including RPG rockets at a range of 10 – 30 meters from the protected platform. The Trophy development roadmap considers an enhanced countermeasure unit to be available in the future, and protect against kinetic energy (KE) threats. Trophy was designed to effectively operate in a dense urban environment, where armored vehicles operate closely with integrated infantry forces. Therefore, direction, formation and energy of the fragments are designed to ensure effective target kill with low collateral damage, and low risk to nearby troops. While not in use, the system is maintained in the stowed position, protected by an armor shield. The system has an automatic reload mechanism to handle multiple attacks.

-----------------------------------

Only reason why they even refer to it as a force field is in the 2nd paragraph. The beam fragments probably is just a laser prototype.

To me it sounds like the only weapon that can fire at and be effective against multiple targets is the DREAD system.

They may have integrated it into this system.

Ya, but whats a flying piece of metal to a tank?

Just another dent....

Kenetic and low frequency sound weapons are the future. Oh yes the death ray too. We have several of those in orbit. But those are well ubove top secret.

It's not a force field. A force field is what they use in Star Trek on thier ships and what The Invisible Woman(Fantastic Four/Jessica Alba) uses. That's not what this is....if peole are thinking that.

Maybe it's the same type of alien technology that allowed them to "invent" CD technology IN THE 70's when the latest thing was 8-track tapes.

Ya - I heard the Alien's had to offere rebates because they handed over the wrong file (8-Track) it failed with them too - "Their bad".

Give me a break.

ROFL!

Restricted to the highest levels of the government and you?

a force feild? i doubt a force feild like it aqctualy stops objects from passing it more it diables only rpg just a speculation tho could mean anything

I'm assuming it could also protect the vehicle from bullets, as well?

Crazy cool.

TeraLink Was Here!

I'm sure it's not actually literally a "force field" it probably just, in certain range, fires a countermissile bullet. But it might as well act as a force field. I mean if it breaks up lethal missiles at range it's just as good. If it were a literal force field the rocket would just bounce off it
