Star Trek-style force-field armour being developed

Time to prepare for the influx of Veteran's Hospital patients from the high doses of EMF's. Who knows how much higher this stuff will be from the already dangerous cell phones and the far worse Bluetooth tech that is causing people tumors.

wouldn't the electromagnetic pulse from discharging large amounts of electricity almost instantaneously also knock out the vehicle's electronics systems? on-board computers, navigation, target acquisition capabilities etc.

I don't think the EMF will actually be so much of a problem for human soldiers. Not American ones anyway. We're probably seeing the last decade of Americans riding in tanks. Everything will be drone technology in the future. Tanks in Asia will be driven from Kansas and the main gun fired from Kentucky. The military already hardens most of their high value electronics. Future tanks and other vehicles will likely be even more so.

how soon before the US Military buys the exclusive rights to this technology and slaps it on an M1 Abrams tank?
