So it pretty much ONLY protects against RPG's? What if we spend $40 trillion on this then go to war with a country/faction that doesn't use shaped charges, or some kind of non metallic shaped charge or something crazy like that? We're fucked?

Yeah, it is ganna take like 20 years before it comes out.
[QUOTE=GunFox;20894663]Iraq was one big clusterfuck. The stated reason for the invasion was bullshit from the start. There was no fuzziness in Iraq. It was a military engagement. Civilians were seen as innocents and casualties were avoided. If it was a war there would have likely been weeks if not months of bombings of the cities until anything above a single story was rubble.[/QUOTE] Fair enough.

This would be very useful in space, for deflecting micrometeorites as well as protecting against some forms of radiation, as even a slow discharge would probably act like the Earth's magnetic field.
