I've been involved with development of on-board power generation systems to be on the HUMVEE (and/or its replacement) and the main intent of improving this technology will be to support the deployment of a similar system for ground units. It's hard to say when we'll see this fielded but based on the announcement, Buck Rogers and G.I. Joe will be using it in the not too distant future.

I helped out with the laser system installed on a HUMVEE that was tested out Restone for IED demolition. Fun stuff!
