Israeli researchers have developed a "foce-field" system, which will protect American tanks from anti-tank missiles as well as rocket-propelled grenades.

How does it work? The principles of "Trophy", as the system is called, are top secret, however, "Trophy is "designed to form a 'beam' of fragments, which will intercept any incoming HEAT threat, including RPG rockets at a range of 10 metres to 30 meters from the protected platform".

Now they just need to get energy fields to detonate anything in a 15 foot radius from the vehicle.
