IBM Working on Futuristic Armor for Battlefield?

An IBM engineer has passed us information regarding a new technology that IBM is developing dealing with military grade armor. While the source does not specifically tell us how the new technology works but it would be a replacement for Kevlar and would reflect any incoming bullets.

It makes us wonder what direction IBM is heading with this new technology, with the patent already applied. While we still aren't sure exactly sure how the technology will work, long as it protects and does so better than Kevlar - it might be a revolutionary product that could change the battlefield as we see it today.
