Icon-class Personal Energy Shield

Image Source: Here
Intent: To create a new type of personal shielding for military use
Development Thread: As Needed
Manufacturer: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Model: Mk1
Affiliation: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Modularity: Limited
Production: Mass
Material: Personal Energy Shield Components, Power Cell
Special Features:
The Icon-class Personal Energy Shield provides a new level of protection in the field for soldiers expected to fight through warzones. Though Personal Energy Shields have been in existence for a considerable amount of time, few have combined the use of Particle and Ray shields, and fewer still found their way into popular military use. Decreasing the overall size of the generator itself allowed the two projectors to be used side by side, providing protection from both energy and solid rounds. While they can be used simultaneously, the true benefit is the ability to reroute power through either shield, doubling the active one’s power and resilience while completely removing the others. This takes a moment, normally fifteen seconds to swap and fully charge up, and allows the wearer maximum protection from the threat at hand. Each type of shield is base slightly less powerful as a Military Mobility Shield of old, able to absorb a moderate number heavy blaster bolts or slugs before they fail. Prolonged contact with a lightsaber will rapidly reduce the ray shield, disabling it with only a few strikes or mere seconds of contact. They are weak against Ion weaponry however, normally reducing the Ray shield completely with only a blast or two.
