Electric reactive Armour
The dynamic armour was presented by British defence science and Technology Laboratory in 2010.
It is made of two layers of thin conductive armour shells,with the first layer holding a very hight amount of electric charge while the 2nd layer is at ground.
If a penetrator or a shaped charge jet pierces through the two shells, it would form a circuit and the enormous amount of electric charge held by the first layer would distrupt it and neutralize it.
This would obviously consume alot of energy due to its heavy work(its main problem).
Dynamic electric reactive armour is originally intended to be used by nuclear powered warships to protect them against shaped charge and Kinetic energy anti-ship missiles without greatly increasing their weight.
Still armour is not in active service of British ground force but it is planned for near future.
