Many of these concepts are driven by current problems on the battlefield. IFV's that are used as close support against urban defenses more than anti-vehicle, single shot anti-ambush RPG protection...etc. A Phalanx type anti-artillery defense is probably a Fire Base, fixed point smaller area type of concept. Put it in the center of a FOB and let it worry about the random mortar attack.
