"A new technology called electric reactive armour (also known as electromagnetic reactive armour, or colloquially as electric armour) is in development. This armour is made up of two or more conductive plates separated by some space or by an insulating material, creating a high-power capacitor.In operation, a high-voltage power source charges the armour. When an incoming body penetrates the plates, it closes the circuit to discharge the capacitor, dumping a great deal of energy into the penetrator, which may vaporize it or even turn it into a plasma, significantly diffusing the attack."
Basic principle of electric armour
A capacitor, charged to high voltage, is connected to two conducting plates which are isolated against each other. As soon as the shaped charge jet arrives the plates are short circuited and the capacitor is discharged into the jet. Due to the high current occurring (> 100 kA) the shaped charge jet is perturbed and its performance is drastically reduced. For this application a pulsed power supply with a stored energy of several 100 kJ is required.
A type of forcefiled is observed in some UFO cases. The Claude Edwards, 1967 Tuscumbia, Missouri case would be an example.
14 February 1967. Tuscumbia, Missouri, USA
"The witness walked to within 30 feet and threw two stones at the object, which bounced off an invisible wall between him and the object. "
Here's an old case from 1948 in Jacques Vallée's book Passport to Magonia
1948: Swastika, Ontario, Canada
"A Mr. Galbraith observed a disc-like object land on the ground; an entity left the object and collected samples of vegetation. The object transmitted a “force field” which pushed the witness to the ground. The same witness again observed an object on the ground, three entities who smiled at him, were observed outside the craft. A police patrol saw a light in the nearby woods, but couldn’t approach it because of an “invisible wall”."

22 May 1973. Catanduva, Sao Paolo , Brazil
Witness: Onilson Patero
"He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and 40 feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car began to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, and the heat and lack of air diminished."
29 October 1973 17:20 Buenos Aires, Argentina
Witness: Carlos Argue Balvidares.
On the far side of the pond rested a luminous rectangular object approximately 35 feet in diameter and 7-10 feet high. It emitted a beam of light 15 inches in diameter that struck Balvidares. He felt dazzled and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode to the pond, but when he had got halfway there he encountered an "invisible barrier" and could not proceed.
