For every new weapon, there is a new shield. If this uses a new technology or algorithm, its only a matter of time until it is reverse engineered. Hell, if I developed a new weapon I'd be sure I would ALSO develope a defense against it!
Also, remember the article uses the words "reported". I have lost count of the number of research papers I have read that promise the earth but when you get down to the actual work, its usually pretty limited or "proof of concept".
