All it is is an advanced radar detection system that guides a 'gun' that fires a cloud of slugs at the incomming target forcing it to detonate early. It's rad, but it isn't a shield.

It's a gun? Bizarre. I thought it was some sort of reactive armor plating that could be rigged to blow at certain points that at a computer would tell it to. If they've got a gun that can track and shoot that fast, damn.

The animation does look like aggressive reactive armor vs. some sort of gun. Maybe the new RRAWMI armor acronym (REALLY REALLY REACTIVE ARMOR WE MEAN IT)

The thing is that it doesn't have to track or aim very fast, because it shoots a massive cloud of crap at the incomming object. I recall a better video of the device in action but I can't remember where I've seen it.

You need to stop drinking the mikvah water, Patrick. Talmuduu, while quite powerful, involves too much preperation to be an effective battlefield weapon. Reverse-engineered Annunaki tech is much better, as its use in the Battle of Hammurabi's Stair and the Third Lunar War effectively showed.

Yeah, Battletech had the AMS (anti-missile system) and the LAMS (laser anti-missile system). The AMS was IS, while the LAMS was Clan... initially, at least.

As a rule of thumb, the designers do not hide "easter eggs" in the rules. If clever reading is required to unlock some sort of hidden option, then it is most likely the result of wishful thinking.

This really isn't anything too new. The French LeClerc II tank already has something very similar if I recall correctly. The Stryker vehicles are supposed to get it. Right now they have the RPG cage which works pretty well.

The Stryker vehicles are supposed to get it. Right now they have the RPG cage which works pretty well. You're misinterpreting the French LeClerc schematic there S Scruffy. It doesn't say "actively defeats incoming attack vectors." Translated properly its "actively surrenders to incoming attack vectors."

Russians been working and fielding land based anti-missile system(s) before anyone else got the idea. Sea based anti-missile systems been around even longer.
Inherent problem with the systems is they tend to turn AT munition into anti-personnal, light armor munitions. Making it very unsafe for supporting infantry to cover them and vice versa, nevermind exposed noncombantants in urban evironments. Seacondary problem is the need to reload them periodally, hence the threat of the AT crews expending cheaper older AT munitions while saving the better more expensive AT munitions for when the reloading is taking place. Or do missile/RCL/rocket swarms to overwhelm the defenses, which have happened repeatedly in the past.
