I would like to suggest that the era of FFBNW is in a practical sense, over.Interesting article would suggest that the A.D.F should consider for its own fleet of various armoured vehicles

Army Wants Cope Cage-Like Armor To Protect From Drone Attacks On Its Tanks
With the threat of drones rapidly changing the realities of warfare, the Army finally requests overhead armor on 1,500 tracked vehicles.www.twz.com
The new fleet of Armour and high value logistics/engineering assets should be supplied as equipped with passive and active defensive suites.
With regards to vehicles, I think it’s practical to at minimum have them in the Q-store for ready issue and fitting.
With regards to CWIS on vessels, we need to face up and just fit them.
Any presumption that we could rapidly acquire more to furnish the balance of the fleet is likely fantasy, and the operational burden of returning fleet units for fitting of these in times of acute strategic pressure is likely operationally unrealistic.
