Personal Shields for the Troops
A Personal Shield Generator for a soldier will decrease the chances of being injured during a assignment by a hostile forces.
It also will help decrease the changes of troops being attacked when their attackers would barley be able to break their shields.
The Shield should be able to protect the user from a variety of ammunition types.
The creation of a Shield is heavily advanced technology for this time period but it would be better to begin construction of this then waiting for a time when this technology would be needed.
And Lastly, If this technology were to fall into enemy hands, the shield will remotely self-destruct preventing the hostile forces from using it for their own gain.
