Boeing recently filed a patent that describes how to create a “force
field” capable of shielding soldiers and military vehicles – including
tanks and armored personnel carriers – from the shockwaves of IEDs.
While Boeing doesn’t actually call it a “force field patent,” that’s
essentially what it is. You can see how Boeing’s “method and system for
shockwave attenuation via electromagnetic arc” works in the figure
below. Here, a sensor (10A) mounted on the top of a military humvee
would detect an explosion and its resulting shockwave (24) in the
immediate area. The sensor system would then almost instantaneously send
a signal to a power source (38) to superheat the surrounding ambient
atmosphere (26) around the vehicle, producing a heated, plasma-like
medium (30) between the target and the explosion that would act as a
buffer and shield from any shockwave.

Do the deflected objects go 'boeing, boeing'?

Wait - are you saying that ClodReamer was wrong, or lying?
