Patience young Jedi. They do a bit on laser based anti-missile batteries later on in the documentary.

That 'crowd control' thing at the end looks bloody ominous though, and I was seeing a lot of interviews 'jump' as though serious editing had taken place, that always makes me wonder what the whole conversation was, and whether it hasn't been edited for 'impact'.

APSes are way to go, at least if the enemy has access to heavy-duty AT equipment. You can only increase standard armour that much without effecting mobility, you can only slap on so many sheets of ERA until it becomes redundant. Russians started testing the ARENA system long ago and IIRC French have something similar.

As with ERA, this application's use in urban terrain and in close proximity of friendlies is limited, due to potential danger to friendlies and noncombatants.

God I sometimes sound like an army asshole.

I noticed that same thing.
