While not at the level of Star Trek force fields, work has begun to create force fields. The CNET article talks about a force field to stop the shock waves caused by explosions. The force shield is really a shield of plasma created by lasers and microwaves that mitigates the destructive effects of the shock wave from an explosion.

As it is described, the system is not designed to prevent direct impact from shells or shrapnel; rather, it is designed to protect a target such as a vehicle or building from the damaging effects of shockwaves from a nearby impact.

While this story from CNET is from 2015 a recent development is that the Chinese have announced a similar program as reported by WION in Jan 2024, which might represent some form of competition. The Chinese-based energy shield sounds like it is designed to protect electric circuits and will reflect a microwave attack back to the enemy's weapon. Which on speculation might include EMP-type damage.
