That's pretty neat, but I disagree with this:

One of the far-reaching advantages of the new protective system is the possibility of reducing the heavy armor now required to defend vehicles. This means much lighter tanks and battle taxis that could be air lifted to future battlefields.

You can get more survivable small vehicles, but unless this does something to negate mines and IED's, reducing armor isn't going to cut it.
