Developed by the Israeli's this destroys RPGs and small missiles by a combination of radar and a top secret means.

This will save a lot of lives hopefully. But here's where we messed up, we should have figured you how to stop the missiles before we gave them to Al Qaeda.

Doesn't look like Science Fiction - looks like green screen jiggery-pokery. Did anyone else notice the darker vertical strip exactly where the missiles detonated? Looks like a green wall which has had an image put onto it by a computer which the RPG/missile just hits and goes down.

That's on the shots with no vehicle in also by the way. When there's a vehicle there, it just looks like a variation on the standard CIWS, perhaps using Metalstorm instead of Goalkeeper to make it better?

Force field is a very bad description - especially on the computer imagery which actually has a force field around it. It's a counter missile-missile system, that's all.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It actually uses radar to target the missile so obviously it's more of a one on one thing.
