I was reading about the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and was interested about the reactive armor it can employ.  Basically, and this is a simplified explanation, it has large plates filled with an explosive covering the vehicle.  When a projectile hits the plate, it is detonated outside the vehicle lessening the damage.  Would this be a possible system to be employed by future military versions?  I was not sure if the center of gravity would be an issue.  The BFV is pretty low to the ground and would not be apt to tip as easily as a result of an explosion.  Is this a viable possibility?
