Wintermute - 2011-06-26 1:14 PM Remember everyone's consternation when the aliens arrived and we learned their ships had force fields? How are we suppose to scuttle an intergalactic, extra-dimensional battle cruiser if our missiles cannot reach the skin of the ship? Looks like a US defense contractor has finally figured out how to install a rudimentary force field of our own (i.e. for humans ) from the technology we appropriated from the aliens in 1948 (Roswell. Hello? ). http://www.nationalreview.com/the-feed/270455/meet-iron-curtain-act... I am sure the system will eventually be updated to include protection against quasar lasers. Until then, pretty impressive. I've seen this technology before and it's certainly bad ass. It seems a little cumbersome on the vehicles but I'm sure it will get smaller as time goes on. I think the enemy would target the system itself - knock it out then hit the jeep with a second shot. Though that would probably allow the occupants a chance to escape. The test is pretty impressive but the conditions are really controlled. I'd like to see the rocket hit at an angle or hit the system.
